Hi ArcherPrime,

First off, assuming that the Q49/V47 that you refer to are the Scaled Scores (and not the percentiles), then you already have an outstanding Score - and you can comfortably apply to ANY Business Schools that interest you. As such, a retest is not necessary. Depending on the Schools that you plan to apply to, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and plans. Those Experts should be able to answer your Admissions questions and help define the specific areas of your profile that could use some improvement. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:

Specifically, I need a good guide on how to go from Q49ish to Q51 with a focus on time issues.

Hi guys,

I got a very good score on the GMAT in July 2021 (Q49 V47) but without telling too long a story, I would like to aim for a higher score and need some advice on the best resources.

Specifically, I need a good guide on how to go from Q49ish to Q51 with a focus on time issues.

I feel strong about my verbal but I've struggled to find 700+ verbal qBanks. I believe Kaplan had a great Qbank I used last year but it seems to be behind a varsity tutors paywall now :(

Any advice is greatly appreciated. I'm not on a time crunch and willing to pay for good QBanks.

Best,

AK

Hi ArcherPrime,

For Quant, identifying your weaker areas and working on your weaker areas should ideally get you a score of Q50+. You have to work a little more on the application of concepts while solving the Quant Questions. You should consider spending more time on analysing the solutions of the questions from the topics in which you are weak. By analysing I mean, go through each step of the solution, identify the exact step at which you made the mistake, compare your approach with the right one and then learn the right approach. This should help.

If you are struggling with some specific topics, you may share the same for better understanding.

Feel free to reach out in case of any queries! Considering the effort, you have put, I would really like to know the concerns and help you improve your score.
