Hey,
I started my GMAT prep 40 days back. In the diagnosis test given in the
OG, I was able to do all questions correctly in problem-solving, made 2 mistakes in Data sufficiency and performed horribly in Verbal. With all this, I first started tackling Verbal (Sentence Correction and Critical Reasoning). I gave my first GMAT prep test 3 weeks ago in which I had 660: Q46 V35. I wasn't able to finish either quant (couldn't even look at last 5 questions) or verbal (last 2 questions unattempted). Approximately 17 questions were wrong/left out in verbal.
To improve my quant, I practiced Data sufficiency from the
OG and I believe I did improve. More than that, I attacked Verbal a lot. I started building concepts through videos available online. I solved all questions of verbal from the
OG trying to apply these concepts. Then, to test myself, I gave the free
MGMAT CAT today.
I found quant really tough and was expecting a horrible score in quant. On the contrary, I felt that my verbal went quite smoothly. However, the result confused me.
I had Q48 V32 650.
Honestly, I have put very less effort on quant and given all my time to Verbal. But the result is suggesting otherwise.
There were 14 questions of SC and I had 7 correct.
There were 10 questions of CR and I had 5 correct.
There were 12 questions of RC and I had 8 correct.
What should my strategy be from now, if I have to give GMAT within 4 weeks? My target score is 720.
Hi pdchhaparwal,
Welcome to GMATCLUB! It may be difficult to improve your verbal in 4 weeks but you should certainly give your best shot. To improve your scores in verbal , you can consider
e-gmat verbal online or the
e-gmat verbal live course. They are both amazing courses especially designed for non-natives. They offer almost 25% of their courses for free so you can try out their free trial to decide which one you want to go for. Plus the
e-gmat Scholaranium which is included in both the courses is one of the best verbal practice tools in the market. You can easily track your progress in that you can identify your strengths and analyze and improve on your weak areas.
Further taking multiple mocks might help. Apart from the GMATPREP,
Manhattan GMAT tests and Veritas Prep Tests in my experience have good verbal and Quant section and will certainly help you point out and improve your weak areas.
I would also encourage you to purchase the GMATPREP QP 1 for some great additional practice. Further you should also consider LSAT Questions for some great CR practice.l
Hope this helps. All the best.
