I think you need to practice more, each topic, one-by-one and untimed.
Jumping in too early to take tests and then start forming self-perceptions is detrimental sometimes to the confidence and derails you from the concentrated effort required.
Manhattan books are also basic in nature. They'll help you build basics but you definitely need to supplement it with more material-
GMAT club tests are a great resource. You can utilize them for more practice.
Do some more practice for weak topics and you will be sailing then in the timed tests.
Thanks a lot!
I will folllow your tips. Do you think is a good strategy to practice on each topic, at 700 question level, until i can reach 90%?
And for verbal, in particular sentence correction, is it better
egmat or manhattan book?
Thank you again
Hi Marco123,
I think a better way would be to practice each topic at 500-600-700 i.e. in linear fashion and target for 70-75% accuracy. About 60-70% topics will be like where to go from 500 to 700, you would hardly take any time but more difficult topics like Probability, Geometry etc., you might need to have some patience before you start seeing some results.
90% accuracy is just too high! Aim for around 70% in all topics, then start taking mocks and analyse to see a repeatable pattern for a particular topic, and then revise it again.
For SC, both resources are good. If
egmat approach is little better not because of the content but as these are pre-recorded online videos, it becomes much more intuitive and easier to get involved rather than just reading from a book where you would have to push yourself, especially if you are not really confident about the subject.
Hope it helps.
