Hi all.
I recently started to study GMAT with OG for my first resource.(I went to a prep every weekend for 3 months, it was not very helpful as the prep was focusing on tips but not on basic knowledge at all.)
Then I found out the PS questions are very difficult for me despite I quite well understand basic mass theories. I don't know why I feel the questions are so hard to solve since I must have faced these kinds of questions back in highschool and I was quite well on math.
My verbal score was 16 when I took mock-test, so now I guess maybe this is because I am lack of logical mindset that is required for MBA.. aside from being good enough to do work.
It'a been a 3 full months since I started this unique journey, the fact there are overwhelmingly too much to improve in a month or two months(to apply 2nd rounds) makes me feel so nervous and tired.
Could anyone advise me how to transfrom my brain into logical one, to get a different perspectives and approach GMAT questions?

Hi and welcome to GMAT Club.
You saying you have been studying with OG for 3 months or that you took a course/class 3 months ago? You mentioned some kind of tips. Where did they come from?
In general, the official guide is arranged from easier to harder questions. It’s not an absolute ranking but usually the early questions will be generally easy and the leader questions in each section will be harder.

Are you having trouble with both quant and verbal? It’s kind of hard to recommend anything if everything needs to be fixed so it probably would be helpful if you could identify a particular area unless it really is everything...

Hello, koko100. Welcome to the community. It is important not to conflate the GMAT™ with being prepared to earn an MBA. I have worked with plenty of students who may have done well in school but could not cut it when it came to standardized tests. (That is usually why they end up working with a tutor like me in the first place.) In terms of how to progress with regard to GMAT™ prep, try looking up the questions on this site that you have missed from the OG. I cannot sing enough praise for the depth and breadth of the community responses, both from experts and regular test-takers. For Quant, you may need something succinct that goes through each topic, whether that means finding the right book, thoroughly reading the corresponding chapter in the OG, or undertaking an online prep course (several of which are quite affordable for one-month access). For Verbal, you might consider a similar strategy, breaking down the section into its sub-categories of CR, RC, and SC and then further compartmentalizing information to target your weakest areas. Be honest with yourself, and organize the information to keep track of your progress.
Think of the hard work you are willing to put in to earn a place in an MBA program. The GMAT™ is just one component of the larger picture. And when you have a community such as this one to bounce ideas off of, with practice, diligence, and time, you will start to get the ball rolling toward success. Take things one day at a time.
Good luck.
- Andrew
