Hello,
I wanted to do the GMAT by December for my masters degree applications (in Europe). I at least want to score a 650, more is obviously also welcome. One obstacle is, that I have to do the preparations next to a 40 hour/week internship.
I have done the 2 practice GMAT tests on mba . com, without any type of studying and my scores were very unbalanced to say the least. My 2 scores were 615 and 625 respectively. My percentiles in data insights were 90 and 98, in verbal I was in the 86th and 96th percentile and in quantitative reasoning in the 52nd and 29th percentile.
In the data insight section my errors were only math related, to be more exact in data sufficiency and graphs and tables. However 75% of them were due to not paying enough attention and flying over the questions (I was finished way earlier in both cases).
For verbal my weakness seems to be reading comprehensions (again 75% of the mistakes), more precise the "identify stated / inferred questions". I have found some prep videos on gmatclubnow for reading comprehensions and will use them.
My scores in the quantitative section were way worse then in both other areas. In both cases quant was my last section, but I doubt that this had much influence. I was decent at "counting / sets / series / prob / stats", but not good, and just bad at all other questions, indicated by the overall percentiles. On the bride side, none of the concepts were complex to me and I obviously did way more complex math in university. I was just missing the approaches to tackle them.
Now to my question: Would you, in my case, just study for the quant section, apart form the reading comprehension? If so, have you got any recommendations for me to start?

Trying to work on a way that helps you actively absorb the passage could be helpful. Becoming familiar with how RC inference questions work could also be helpful. Perhaps include working with a study buddy who is really strong on RC.
