How to boost my score

Question

My aim is to reach at least a 600 score. I gave cold a Manhattan Test and I got 540: 37Q and 25V. I plan to study for 2-3 weeks at max. I also have Magoosh but I am not finding it useful. I do have official guides 2020 and I might use their online tools. I am open to other alternatives. Where shall I study from?

Hi terragio99,

Why don't you take an official mock and tell me your score? Because Manhattan mocks seem to be slightly tougher than the official mocks. As your target score is 600 or above, I think you should not take any chance. And I can help you with the study strategy and the resources, once you take the official mock.

You can get in touch with me using the below link once you are done with your official mock.

terragio99 , You will have to invest some time. Even if you take free trials of courses you won't be able to judge correctly. I would suggest to begin with some books, especially for verbal; Aristotle GMAT SC grail, Aristotle GMAT CR grail and Aristotle RC grail are great books to begin and boost confidence. You of course then would love to read Manhattan SC guide and power score CR bible. Then you can take free trials of courses to evaluate which fits your style of studying and/or which is going to help in strengthening your weak areas. For Quant: TTP and Empower GMAT will definitely be helpful. The founder of this community has not only hlped by creating this community but regular contributions in this.

Thank you for all your advices, unfortunately I do not have much time left at my disposal. I will try to do OG questions and try official mock tests to see at what level I am really at. What material would you suggest me to increase Quant from 37 to 45? Is the Gmat club Math book any useful? Thanks.

Hello terragio99,

It would help if you weren’t unhappy with initial practice test scores. The practice test score will help design a systematic study plan that will cover all loopholes in learning.

A couple of things that can be a noticeable barrier to your scores would be some or all of the below.

• Lack of basic math skills
• Not detailed knowledge of GMAT Math pattern and Question types
• Inefficiency by using time-consuming Conventional method to tackle DS and PS questions still
• No expert support (maybe) who can tutor, analyze, and guide you during your learning
• Lack of many updated questions and practice in the recent exam trend
• Not well aligned with time to solve questions.

Precisely, there has to be one end-to-end solution encompassing all the points mentioned above. We also want to understand how old that diagnostic score is. If it has passed at least two weeks, then you can try our free diagnostic test and receive a comprehensive study guide by topic. This test will clearly help you understand your weak areas.

As a GMAT instructor, I will first recommend taking our Free diagnostic test https://www.mathrevolution.com/diagnostic/dtExamMember and receiving a comprehensive study guide by topic. This test will clearly help you understand your weak areas.

Your study plan will now change as you are already ready with the vital concepts and their application. The diagnostic test report will give us detailed insight into various topics and your performance. After an in-depth analysis, we will draw out the category of the topics in which you are already better and those where you need more improvement. Also, we will be able to compare your performance while solving the PS and DS questions.

In a generalized way, to crack GMAT, you need a disciplined study plan, command on basic concepts, exposure to agile approaches, reliable resources, updated comprehensive material and mock tests, and an expert with whom you will be connected throughout your preparations.

You may also see to connect with experts online for your preparation.

Time is precious and unstoppable at the same time. You can schedule a Free counseling session for 20 mins with one of our experts: https://calendly.com/mathrevolution/1-on-1-session for detailed advice on your study plans.

Hi terragio99, Do not just rely on practicing more and more questions. Instead, focus on the concepts and the methods. As your target is just 600, make sure you have good understanding of the concepts and the basic understanding of the application of concepts. You can go through our webinars to understand a few strategies to solve questions. And make sure you analyze the solution of the question when you practice. All the best
