Hi, I just took the GMat a few weeks ago and got killed.
520, 40 on q and 22 on v.
I have been studying for arround 5 months. I work so my study hours are from 7pm to 10 pm everyday and week ends I study arround 6 hrs per day.For the past weeks prior to the exam I studied for long hours, I got 5 maybe 6 hrs of sleep ( this completey screwed up my score on test day) I wont make that mistake again.I have to be honest to say that I studied much more on quantitive then verbal. Thus the 40 on q , but still I am aiming to get a 650+, arround 45q and 35v.
I have studied OG12 , although not all of it, the green quantitive revew book ( not all the questions) and the verbal review ( blue book) againI havent done all the questions. The studied the MGmat books, not all... but a few... I spent most of my study time with the KAPLAN COURSE , highest score was a 620... I did preatty much all the questions in the quiz bank etc... I felt it gave me good quant bases but just that... I studied verbal very little . Id say 80 % q and 20 % verbal... thats why I got such a low score on verbal...
Im aiming to get 650+, 45q, 35v in less then 90 days.
Here is what I am planning to do:
Because I work, I can only study 3 hrs a day.. and on week ends arround 4 or 5 hrs.
I want to really attack the verbal section this time. All three sections
Dedicate each section ( SC, CR, RC) 3 hrs... practice a lot of OG problems... I will use the MGMAT SC book and poswercore critical thinking book, plus the GMAT RC book. I want to read all the books, review them and really understand the conectps and mix it up with practice problems from OG12 and the verbal review.
Does this sound good?
Ill trough in quant questions so I dont forget the concepts. I need to work on work and rate problems, coord geometry and prob/ permu... Review each section, practice problems and in arround start with gmat pre cats.. or MGAMT cats and see how everything is going?
Can an expert advise this?? I dont want to start off on the wrong foot.. I want to get my strategy down so I dont waste time... I want to take the gmat un 60 dias.
Or does anyone reccomend any other way?
thanks.
