Hello everyone!
I gave my GMAT yesterday and scored a 660(q44,V37,IR5).
My aim is to score 700+.I am stuck in Q44.I have taken the
manhattan prep’s bootcamp course(2 weeks) and solved the
OG 2022.
I feel stuck and out of resources. Do you think that I should take up another course or should I buy more resources? Also,for resources,which resources do you recommend?
Posted from my mobile deviceHi
reisheHope you are doing better now.
For scoring 700 and above, you need to make sure you don’t get the easy & medium questions wrong as GMAT test is adaptive in nature. For that, being conceptually clear on all topics is really vital. Not only this, you have to be good with application of concepts, because GMAT is a test of application of concepts. But, before application, you need to understand the motive behind the questions being asked. Once you understand that, the process of learning becomes a lot simpler and easier. If your concepts are clear and you use the right methods and strategies to solve questions, you will be able to smartly avoid the traps set by the test makers. Focus on improving the method you follow to solve questions because that's what stops people from scoring 700+.
Looking at your Quant score, you appear to be good with concepts. Identifying your weaker areas and working your them should ideally get you a score of 49/50. You have to work a little more on the application of concepts while solving the Quant Questions. You should consider spending more time on analysing the solutions of the questions from the topics in which you are weak. By analysing I mean, go through each step of the solution, identify the exact step at which you made the mistake, compare your approach with the right one and then learn the right approach. This should help.
If you are struggling with some specific topics, you may share the same for better understanding.
Having said that, to suggest you the plan of action, I need a little more information about your GMAT preparation. I would like to know more about
- the way you prepared till now (your study strategy)
- your weak areas
- your approach of solving questions
- the resources you have used
Answers to these questions will help me guide you in a better way. And I personally suggest to go for the retake only after you prepared well and are 100% confident.
