Hi every one, I am from Vietnam.

This threast is for my self-traking experience on the my journey to the magic 7. I start study for GMAT, seriously and tirelessly, since the start of Feb 2015.
Summarize about my efford:

16-Dec-14 GMAT prep 1 490 (Q47; V13)
5-Feb GMAT prep 1 530 (Q49 ; V15)
13-Mar MGMAT 1 610 (Q44; V31)
18-Mar MGMAT 2 590 (Q42; V30)
21-Mar MGMAT 3 660 (Q45; V35)

Everything seems uncertain to me:
+ Bad english proficiency
+ Bad timming: SC 2' , CR 2'30 - 3'00, and RC 10'
+ Quant has droped down since I invested all of my best for verbal

I have GMAT Date on the begining of May and now I am fighting for it :)

I would love to recieve all of your suggestion!

Day 19:

1. At this time I try my best to push up accuracy on RC 73%
I did 20 CRs for today + detail review and I will do so for this whole week, hopefully this strategy would build up skills for CR section, (I got all half of prep questions wrong on CR)

2. Review detail my CAT 3 and figure out my weakness and my strength to make an improvement plans for comming days.

Good luck! We have similar starting scored, however my weakness is quant and my strength is verbal. My new test date is also in May, hopefully we can both improve a lot! Good luck!!

Thank you sabineodf, good luck to your prep too! =)
For quant section, my experience is that:
+ I spent almost a week to build my knowledge on math to nitty gritty detail.
+ Book that I used: Kaplan GMAT Math Workbook (for basic and to get a sense on Quant), MGMAT Quant books, Gmatclub quant review.
+ Practice with the OG (of course!) + Quant workbook. However, when I practice, I do not solve all the problems from the head to the tail. What I do is to pay 30 second after read the question to think about how I can solve the problem quickly and effectively (apply some calculate tips that I found on the GMATCLUB, evaluate and estimate answers). Then review all again, and find if there are any shortcut that I could apply for next questions.
+ Timming everything that I do.
+ Review theories again, again, and again. Whenever I do that my score on Quant section improves markedly.

Hope these things will help you improve your quant section, as they did to me =)

Day 20:

I continue to review the MGMAT CAT 3 + CAT 2 on verbal section, pay focus on new process that I could learn from expert explainations:

+ SC: 30 questions
+ CR: continues with 20 official questions
+ finish the day with 20 randoms CR that I could found on the forum
+ Timing, timing, timing!
