Hello Everyone,
I plan to give the GMAT during the second week of August.I am giving the GMAT second time , in my first attempt I was burned out and could not focus much during the end. I scored a 600 ( v26, q46). GMAT prep scores were 620,640,720,670. I had given another 15 tests .7 of those were adaptive. Total 19 tests, 12 tests were in succession almost one every day, sometimes 2.
Second attempt strategy:
I finished all the math ( Veritas geometry, Manhattan set )and verbal(Manhattan SC, RC, CR bible) fundamentals.
This time for maths I solved the OG 15, PS 441 AND Bunuel's Signature collection of sums. Now to improve my quant or say maximise it from a score of 46 on GMATprep 1 (670)(Gave the test before doing Bunuel's sums) I am giving the Gmat club tests. I plan to give all 25. I am using them as a source for new questions and practice. Currently what I do is I take a test , review it and note down my mistakes in separate docs belonging to each quant topic. During my review I solve most questions again and mark the difficult and tricky questions along with the ones I got wrong. After giving 5 tests then I re do the the questions I have marked in those tests again. I have given 5 tests till now.Is this a good strategy Or should I just do more sums on my weak areas as indicated by the gmat club tests and give less number of total Gmat club quant tests ? I feel these tests are good practice plus a great way to solve almost 40 questions each day in a timed environment . The vast number of sums should cover all ares and improve my weak areas.Gmat club test quant scores 48,48,44,45,45.
For my verbal I am solving question on a daily basis, about 20 questions , earlier I used to do more. I have solved a lot of verbal questions over 700 questions (RC+CR with timing ) questions with 70-80 % accuracy. I am now focusing more on SC( I use Official guide companion for SC by MGMAT to understand the OG SC questions better) . My verbal is also very weak. Political RC is very difficult for me . Can someone please suggest any collection of questions for verbal or any sectional tests ? Please point out any shortcomings .I also plan to give MGMAT tests this time.....
GMAT Prep 1 670 ( Q46, V35) with essay and IR
MGMAT 1 480(Q11 V33) with essay( Gave the test before Gmat club tests ):
I pretty much failed in the quant section Q11 the questions were too hard and I took a lot of time as result in the end I randomly marked answers for over 10 questions. An off day for me.
For the verbal I focused and I got a V33. Towards the end I hastily marked over 7-8 questions( with 1 entire RC).
Now I plan to give full length practice after every 2-3 days. I ll give all MGMATS and 3 GMAT preps. Also I am not stressing my self out like the last time. Less tests and adequate study time.
Are there any mistakes I am making , should I make any changes ?? Is all this a good strategy ?? Any minute correction will be appreciated.
Sorry for the long post but I am not confident about my strategy and need approval
Thanks and kudos to all who help !!!

Hi anurag356,
You would probably be better served taking one realistic, FULL-LENGTH CAT per week (and not taking CATs and Club Tests as frequently as you're planning). There's an inconsistency in your results that implies that the work that you do is inconsistent and likely disorganized.
What is your score goal?
When are you planning to apply to Business School?

Hi there ,
Yes its true that my work is disorganized even I start to realise that. I plan to apply in round 1 starting September for fall 2016. I Initially planned to take one test per week but then I realised that I wont be able to give all. My score goal is atleast 700. I can put in the time required each day( whatever is needed). As far as the MGMAT 1 result goes I feel I could have done a lot better and it was huge mistake to give that test after an entire day of work( I just want you know the situation to help me better, I am not defending myself).It was 2 am when I finished the test.
