I just gave my official GMAT mock and scored 570(q44 v25). I clearly lack in the verbal section, especially in sentence correction and reading comprehension, I've been doing some silly mistakes in the quant section which I think I can improve with some more practice, I have my GMAT exam in 10 days and I want to score 600+ for my desired university please give me some tips on how I can achieve that.

Hi Shubhv2001

It's very easy for you to quickly gain enought points to cross 600 mark.

In my opinion, there are faster ways for you to improve Quant instead improving Verbal so I believe you should change strategy and focus on Quant more

To get to 600+, you have to get around three or four more questions correct. So, you may be able to achieve your score goal just by improving accuracy. For some tips on improving accuracy, see this post.

Improving Your Accuracy on the GMAT

Also, you could focus on some key areas of quant that you are not strong in over the next ten days. I mean, in ten days, you could probably become much stronger in a few areas of quant that you are currently weak in and drive your quant score up a point or two that way.

Finally, with some effective practice, you could improve in verbal. For some insights into how to practice effectively to increase your verbal score, see this post.

Hi Shubhv2001,

Assuming that you took this CAT/mock in a realistic fashion that matches-up with how you will take the Official GMAT (meaning that the Score is an accurate reflection of your current 'ability level') - you are closer to a 600+ than you probably realize. In addition, to earn that type of Score, you do NOT need to correctly answer any of the questions that you think are too hard or too weird (although you have to keep the little mistakes to a minimum on everything else). On this last CAT, how many questions did you get wrong because of a silly/little mistake?

Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

Hi Shubhv2001
You don't have much time on hand, so review the things that you have gone through in the meantime. If possible, then see some verbal lessons of Jeff Vollmer from Gmat Prep Hour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3A9YyFw-UQ&t=841s
Thanks!
