Hi,
This is for anyone who can help me !
I recently took GMAT and got 600. I prepared for quite some time however I did so regularly and seriously for around 2 months.
I plan to take the test again after 3 months. What should be my approach? I am looking for as close to 700 as possible!
My background and what i did so far?
* Took magoosh and almost exhausted its question bank
* It was my solo source of preparation, All my theory and understanding came from the video lessons that it had to offer.
* I also solved OG questions though not everything.
* My OG test scores were 620 and 620.
* I am a non native speaker and consider myself good at maths. However, As of now i would say I am stronger in verbal than quants.
*I just can't seem to finish Quants section and always get stuck on one question and waste time (100 % knowing that its time to move on!)
What should be my next steps? Should i take the online egmat course or stick to magoosh and just practice. My exam was last week, took a break of 1 week and plan to resume my studies now.

Hi,
If you arn't able to complete quant in given time then it means somehow your basics arn't strong...why you haven't completed Og and Quant review? Try to solve all the quant questions from OG and Quant review and review your mistakes.
For strategy guide
1) Manhattan books are good for basics
2) gmatclub quant book (Geometry, Coordinate Geometry and Number theory are very well written)
For practcie
1) OG and Quant review
2) Gmatclub quant tests
Dont forget to get Question pack from mba.com.
I have used Ian Stewart's Number property, stats and counting books and these three helped me a lot. Try Veritas mocks and gmat exam packs. Initially give one mock every weekend and once you are done with your prep and practice try to give 2 to 3 mocks each week.
Best,

krish76 you're in a good position - you have a lot of time, and the improvement you're going for is realistic. What you need now is a structured study plan, not more rote question solving.
Start by figuring out, based on your test and study so far, what you are weakest at. Quant is a good start, but get more specific - what topics do you find challenging? Is it a specific kind of question that keeps confusing you? What is your central challenge?
Build a study plan based on these insights - devote time to what you are weakest at. If it's the fundamentals of specific topics - study them. If you know the material fine but keep confusing the same things - spend some time thinking what strategies you can adopt to improve this.
Since you are a non-native speaker, I would also suggest incorporating English newspaper and magazine into your daily schedule.
