Hi MathRevolution,

Thank you so much responding. I will definitely try to have a look at the breakdown of GMAT math questions link posted. Also, I could not find the link to the free diagnostic test in order to understand my strengths and weaknesses. Could you send me a link? I believe I would be better able to assess my weak points based on it and then get help with the free counseling.

Hi ssen92,

First of all, congrats on scoring a 710. You can definitely improve your score to 730 if you identify what went wrong and work on that. Let me help you with the same.

If you are disappointed with Q49, then it should mean that you mock scores must have been either Q50/51. If that is the case, then I think there could be two reasons for the drop in the score.

• Problem with test taking strategy: Test taking strategy plays a very important role on GMAT. AS GMAT is an adaptive test, you need to focus more on the initial questions, get a string of questions right so that the algorithm will serve you the difficult questions. You can probably refer to the recording below to understand the right test taking strategy.
  
  
  
  
• The struggle with application of concepts: You are probably doing most of the things right but are struggling with a few topics. It's just that you have to tweak your approach of solving the questions a little. Once you do that, I think Q50/51 can be achieved.

To help you with the same, I would need a few more details such as:

• your weak areas in Quant
• your study strategy
• the resources you have used till now

An ESR will be much helpful to provide us with a few more insights. You can always write back to me but a better way is to connect over a call and discuss the same. You can use the link below to schedule a call with me.

Hi ssen92,

710 is a great start! To improve your GMAT score to a higher level, you need to go through GMAT quant and verbal carefully to find your exact weaknesses, fill gaps in your knowledge, and strengthen your skills. The overall process will be to learn all about how to answer question types with which you currently aren't very comfortable, and do dozens of practice questions category by category, basically driving up your score point by point. For example, if you find that you are not strong in answering Number Properties questions, then carefully review the conceptual underpinnings of how to answer Number Properties questions and practice by answering 50 or more questions just from Number Properties: LCM, GCF, units digit patterns, divisibility, remainders, etc. When you are working on learning to answer questions of a particular type, start off taking your time, and then seek to speed up as you get more comfortable answering questions of that type. As you do such practice, do a thorough analysis of each question that you don't get right. If you got a remainder question wrong, ask yourself why. Did you make a careless mistake? Did you not properly apply the remainder formula? Was there a concept you did not understand in the question? By carefully analyzing your mistakes, you will be able to efficiently fix your weaknesses and in turn improve your GMAT quant skills. Number Properties is just one example; follow this process for all quant topics.

Each time you strengthen your understanding of a topic and your skill in answering questions of a particular type, you increase your odds of hitting your score goal. You know that there are types of questions that you are happy to see, types that you would rather not see, and types that you take a long time to answer correctly. Learn to more effectively answer the types of questions that you would rather not see, and make them into your favorite types. Learn to correctly answer in two minutes or less questions that you currently take five minutes to answer. By finding, say, a dozen weaker quant areas and turning them into strong areas, you will make great progress toward hitting your quant score goal. If a dozen areas turn out not to be enough, strengthen some more areas.

You can work on verbal in a similar manner. Let’s say you are reviewing Critical Reasoning. Be sure that you practice a large number of Critical Reasoning questions: Strengthen and Weaken the Argument, Resolve the Paradox, find the Conclusion, Must be True, etc. As you go through the questions, do a thorough analysis of each question that you don't get correct. If you missed a Weaken question, ask yourself why. Did you make a careless mistake? Did you not recognize what the question was asking? Did you skip over a key detail in an answer choice? Getting GMAT verbal questions right is a matter of what you know, what you see, and what you do. So, any time that you don't get one right, you can seek to identify what you had to know to get the right answer, what you had to see that you didn't see, and what you could have done differently to arrive at the correct answer.

So, work on accuracy and generally finding correct answers, work on specific weaker areas one by one to make them strong areas, and when you take a practice GMAT or the real thing, take all the time per question available to do your absolute best to get right answers consistently. The GMAT is essentially a game of seeing how many right answers you can get in the time allotted. Approach the test with that conception in mind, and focus intently on the question in front of you with one goal in mind: getting a CORRECT answer.

In order to follow the path described above, you may need some new verbal and quant materials, so take a look at the GMAT Club reviews for the best quant and verbal courses.

Hi Souradeep,

I've sent you a PM with an analysis of your ESR and some additional notes and questions.

710 is a good score. If you're planning a re-take working on your Verbal may be the way to go. (Even a Q51 would not combo with a V38 would to get a 750+ score.)
