Hello,
I just registered on this website because it looks quite useful for GMAT related stuff.
I am from India and want to apply for the 2016-17 batch of PGPX at IIMs and ISB, so I am giving my GMAT in July last week. I started preparing for GMAT from 1st week of May 2015. I have bought
Manhattan GMAT books for Quant and Verbal, I also have the official GMAT book. I have completed the Quant books of
MGMAT so far.
I read in this forum that I should give a mock test to estimate my current position and start to study according to the analysis of the score of that test. I just completed my free mock test on
Manhattan Prep and this is my score:
Quant -> 46 (66 percentile)
Verbal -> 25 (38 percentile)
Overall -> 590 (58 percentile)
I want to keep July for mock tests and actual GMAT exam, so I practically have only one month in hand, June. Obviously I want to raise my score from 590 to at least 720 (ideally 750)
According to the mock test assessment summary, I should work on data sufficiency problems, Reading comprehension and sentence correction a lot.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Manhattan GMAT Guides are good for basic understanding and later, you need to practice official questions from
Official Guide and Verbal 2nd Edition. Once you are done with those books, you can try GMATPrep Question Pack 1 and Exam Pack 1.
I will suggest you to have official questions as your preparation back bone and questions from other coaching institutes such
Manhattan GMAT , veritasprep and
Magoosh can be practiced to assist the preparation.
The key is analysis, so analyze your mocks and official questions in detail.
Let me know if you have any specific questions. All the best
