Hi, Thanks Rich, I will sharey ESR in PM after editing. But main point I want to understand is having 75% correct in first quarter and still getting lower difficulty. Should I need 100%? That's quite difficult

Hi RaghavS777,

While the ESR doesn’t provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what went wrong on Test Day (and what you should work on to score higher). Since you purchased the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you - but I'll need to see the FULL ESR (not just the pieces that you posted here). If you would rather not publicly post your full ESR, then you can feel free to PM or email it directly to me).

Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

If the questions you got wrong were easy or medium, then your score will suffer much more than if those questions were hard.
To get a 700+ score, it's more important to avoid getting easy/medium questions wrong than getting hard questions right.

But I have seen 75% of medium easy accuracy getting harder questions in next quarter.

Sorry, but I'm not sure what you're saying. Can you rephrase?
