Haven't touched GMAT for a year. Where should I start again? 13 Feb 2018, 15:25

As title mentions, I haven't studied the GMAT for nearly a year as I took a break after my last score (650).

I've taken the Veritas course, had several sessions of private tutoring, and exhausted a lot of study materials over the course of my time.

I don't know what to do at this point. Can anyone advise me what I should do in order to break that 700 mark score for this year?

Thank you,
Tony

Hi,


For quant -

Click on this link - https://gmatclub.com/forum/download.php
Download the first math book. It contains gmat related math theory and once you're done with having a strong grip on these fundamentals try completing the manhattan guides. This would ensure your basics are strong enough

Once this is done try and solve OG questions. This should help you atleast score above the 45 mark IMO

If you are interested to score higher

Be active on Gmatclub and make the most use of rewards https://gmatclub.com/forum/introducing- ... 31235.html

Once you have enough points do use them to get the gmatclub tests if you cannot purchase ( It takes time to get to a level when you can renew your points but it helps you in your gmat journey)

The gmatclub tests are quite hard and prepare you for the worst.

With this preparation I'm sure you'd score very high on the gmat.


Verbal -

Start your basic verbal preparation with MGMAT guides

Once you have done reading the guides and when i mean read try to read the book as well as make a note of important points in a rough note and you can go through the book for a quick revision of the concepts tested in verbal

after the basic preparation try to get veritas/aristotle CR/RC/SC

These would help give you additional practice along with the OG

Look at this link https://gmatclub.com/forum/ultimate-ver ... 33279.html for a better plan on how to prepare for verbal

For CR - https://gmatclub.com/forum/critical-rea ... 45178.html
For RC - https://gmatclub.com/forum/guide-to-rea ... 21112.html
For SC - https://gmatclub.com/forum/the-most-com ... 40372.html
https://gmatclub.com/forum/sentence-cor ... 04883.html
https://gmatclub.com/forum/sc-verbal-qu ... 95439.html

Following the instructions on the links and making the most use out of it will definetly help you in improving your score on the gmat

hope this helps

Regards,
HK

Edit - If you think you've exhausted materials use gc as extensively as possible and I've heard good things about empowergmat for retakers do take a look :)
