Hello everyone at GMAT Club,
I am Amar from India and I have taken the official GMAT Test 3 times till now. Need help with plan my prep in the coming few months.
Started preparing for the GMAT in April 2021
My Scores are as follows:
GMAT 1: 690 V35 Q49 August 17, 2021
GMAT 2: 720 V38 Q50 September 8, 2021
GMAT 3: 710 V39 Q48 December 29, 2021
(Attaching all 3 ESR copies)
I have also taken two GMAT Official Mocks:
GMAT Mock Test 2: Score 760 V41 Q51 August 4, 2021
GMAT Mock Test 5: Score 760 V44 Q49 September 3, 2021
I have been on a break from GMAT prep since February 2022 and would be resuming my prep today.
My Analysis:
Sentence Correction has been my biggest weakness and my verbal score has always been dragged down due to sentence correction. I am fairly confident about Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension.
Request:
Please help me plan and prepare for my next attempt at the GMAT. I haven't taken a date yet and will decide on the basis of my progress.
Target Score: 750+ V42+ Q50
Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions.

Hi Amar.
To get to your quant score goal, you have to work on any weaker areas you have and also improve overall accuracy. To work on a weaker area of quant, first review the relevant concepts and then do dozens of practice questions from that area until you are getting them correct consistently. To develop skill, practice untimed at first and then work the time per question down.
Your ESRs indicate that you have to work on Value/Order/Factors quant questions. You can find out what types of questions those are by going to this page. https://www.mba.com/exams-and-exam-prep ... lls-Groups
Also, for some ideas that you can use to improve overall accuracy, see this post. Improving Your Accuracy on the GMAT
Regarding SC, since your ESR indicates that you you've been missing Grammar SC questions, probably you have to learn more SC concepts. If it's the case that you do, then find a good SC prep resource and fill any knowledge gaps you have.
Then, practice SC using the approaches discussed in this post. Three Key Practice Tips for Mastering GMAT Verbal
You could also get some key SC tips from this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgKmp_BzoFo

Hi Amar,
First off, your prior 720/Q50 is already an outstanding Score, so you can comfortably apply to any Business Schools that interest you (and if you were to be rejected, then it's highly unlikely that your GMAT Score would be the primary reason why). As such, another retest is probably not necessary. In your prior posts (in 2021), it appeared that you were planning to apply to Business School in Round 1 or Round 2 last year. Did you apply at that time - and what were the results?
