Thank you

GMATWhizTeam for your responses.
ScottTargetTestPrep I've completed the areas that I believe I've been struggling with. And for the past 2-3 weeks, I've been hitting the OGs a lot more frequently. And after logging my errors from the OGs, I use
TTP to leverage the content and qs (esp for quant); I just went through the rates chapter, and it was great. I didn't even recognize that this was a weaker area of mine; I usually got them right, but I would need around 3 minutes to solve sometimes.
This past week, I took the GMATclub Verbal CAT (v31) w/ the
TTP Quant Diagnostic (got 7 wrong). I have strong idea of where I need to focus on for quant (i.e., rates, probability, comb/perms, and ratios). Any recommendations on Verbal? I plan to take another PT this Saturday - likely, an official mock (repeat).
How was the practice test?
Not too great - Q48 V35.
Verbal debrief: This definitely isn't an accurate representation of my score. I remembered some of the questions. Strangely, this made things even worse for SC it seemed. For all the questions I recognized, I got them wrong. For CR and RC, I definitely felt I remembered some of the questions/passages. I've been going through problems (topics based on my
error log) every day - 15SCs, 10CRs, 1 RC passage, 30 quant. I've incorporated notes that I've collected from
MGMAT and
TTP while i reference errors, and I think it's helping. But any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Quant debrief: I made at least 3-4 careless errors. I was shocked when I saw Q48 but realized I wasn't careful in some questions. I would get all the way to the very end and answer the wrong question. Might've been a lack of sleep, which probably helped my test anxiety a bunch.
Overall debrief: I wasn't careful enough this past test. I've been putting a crazy amount of pressure on myself every time before a PT to mirror what I might feel like before the actual thing. But moving forward, I will relax more (and make sure I do the same on test day - or be more comfortable with pressure) and sleep more this week.
I will be taking my last (new) Veritas CAT this Saturday. Thank you for checking in
ScottTargetTestPrep - means a lot!
