Hi guys, first post here eventhough I've been lurking around for some time.
So, this saturday I took the gmat and as I expected took a big blow because of a poor preparation - 600 (42Q, 31V)
I struggled through quant, wasting time on silly exercises at first and literally rushing the last 7 questions (I realized I had 5 minutes for those 7 questions).
I didn't find verbal to be hard time wise (finished with 8 minutes left), though I used some POE I wasn't 100% sure of what I was doing. Did most of it by ear (I'm not a native english speaker).
My preparation was basically doing once de
MGMAT 8book pack +
OG + Q REVIEW 2nd ED + GMATPrep CAT (620 - 41Q, 34V - the day before the exam).
On the GMATPrep CAT I didn't had timming issues (10 min left on quant and 15 on verbal). While reviewing the mistakes on quant, most were because of trying to do things quickly and not reading correctly the questions.
Now I want revenge!
I'm looking to structure a new 2 month study plan (the objective is 700). Take into consideration that I will have to study the new IR section!
1) IR: How much time to spend? and where from should I study? Books/Exs recommendations?
2) Quant: Should I review the
OG again or focus on doing new exercises? Where from? There's tons of options out there so I need some input that will fit my time frame.
3) Verbal: I found the
MGMAT RC and CR to be, in my opinion, not so good; maybe focus on
PowerScore CR/SC? How long will it take?
4) CAT's: take every available CAT! (
MGMAT + free ones)
Any other thoughts/recommendations?
