Hey guys,
I would like to inquire about something i noticed recently while studying for my GMAT.
So far ive been through the following:
1. I went though all GMAT 2015 princeton review book with the quant and verbal bins, basically after reading the material and taking the bins i was getting 19/27 on the hard quant questions and 18/27 on the hard verbal questions, i still need to prepare myself more before taking the online GMAT prep full length tests 1&2.
2. After i finished the bins in the princeton review, i went through barrons GMAT guide, i directly took the full length tests to see my skills; i got 28/37 on quant and 14/41 on verbal. I was devastated by my verbal score and found the CR qs very tough compared to princeton.
Can you advise whats the paradox going on here and whats the forward plan for further preparing myself for the online GMAT.
Basically i am targeting the magical number 700 and i need to know my weaknesses.
I dont have issues studying 405 hours per day even with my job going on, i am targetting top MBA schools and i am willing to sacrifice all my time on GMAT to get my 700, what motivates me is that a frnd of mine back in college of the same level got it! you just have to study hard.
Basically i havent scheduled my exam date yet, but im willing to by march-april, i am currently working for Halliburton for almost 4 yrs and wouldnt mind an extra 1yr work experience until i get a 700 on GMAT however i would prefer to do it within a good strategy plan.
Appreciate if any expert can help me with the above
Please advice
Regards,
Ahmad

Hi Ahmad,
It sounds like you've put in some significant practice time already, so you really should take a FULL-LENGTH CAT (including the Essay and IR sections). Until we see how you perform under realistic conditions, we really have no idea about your overall strengths and weaknesses. Once you've taken that CAT, you should report back here with your scores and we can discuss your study plan going forward.
With a planned Test Day in March or April, you have plenty of time to study and improve.
1) How long have you actually been studying?

Thanks rich , ive been studying for almost 2 weeks, my problem is that im addicted to the math questions i cant stop solving and its time consuming but interesting. I still havent touched the IR yet so the best plan is to study the IR from the books that i have then go for the GMAT prep software full length test right?
Based on that ill let you guys know the result and then we can further discuss possible ways of improving. Btw in case there is a fee in order to get the strategy i will need to achieve my GMAT score i dont mind paying whatever it takes to get to the 700 level, ofcourse keeping in mind that GMAT assassins are made by hard work (;
