Hi Everyone,
I hope you’re all doing well. I have my GMAT exam scheduled for October 5th, and I’m currently stuck in the 80-89%ile range in my mock scores (both official and Experts Global). I’ve also noticed significant variation in my scores, especially in verbal.
To give you some context, I began my prep at the end of May (with egmat) and initially planned to take the exam by the end of August. However, due to my performance in mocks, I decided to extend my preparation time. Unfortunately, I still find myself at the same percentile. I left my job in July, so a lot is riding on this exam.
With just 10 days left, I’m seeking advice on how to optimize my prep. My target score is between 675-685, and I’ve attached my progress on the Experts Global mocks for reference. Additionally, I’ve noticed a decline in my DI scores.
Here are my official mock scores:
Thank you!

Hi Aakarsh,
Given the mock scores and variations you're experiencing, here are some advices-
1. Try taking Verbal first if you are unable to concentrate till the end.
2. You don't need to do all questions correct in DI to score a DI80+. Aim for around 80% accuracy.
3. If you are strong in quant, focus on maximizing your score by improving your weaker topics.
4. Lastly, try relaxing for the last few days and take 1-2 practice tests.
All the best.

Hi GMAT695,
Thanks for your response. Currently I am practising RC's daily (6-7 on an average, usually 605-755 level).
Additionally, in DI I am really struggling with the timing bit, especially in TA and MSR questions. I have exhausted almost all official content available on GMATCLUB and e-gmat subscription. Any recommendations for improving speed in DI?
