Hello GMAT Club members & Experts
I have been on this forum for past 2 years & have been preparing for GMAT from June this Year
attempted GMAT FE twice. But My scores in both the attempts were sub 600
Attempt 1: 595 (Q81,V77,DI80)
Attempt 2: 585 (attempted today, ESR to be received)
My Target score is around 665-675. so I require a 70-80 point improvement
At this point I am doubting self preparation & need guidance/tutoring in the preparation
To give you the background. I am a working professional, working in an MNC (energy sector) & currently spending 2-3 hrs daily on the GMAT prep.
I am not in hurry for the current deadlines & my focus is for the next year applications.
However, after these results i realized i am burning myself up with disorganized prep & realized tutoring would help
My preparation material included GMAT focus tests, GMAT official mock tests & GMAT OG 2024-25 (also I had utilized e-GMAT for 2 Months before I gave my first attempt)
I am in need of help here. Experts kindly suggest the path forward
Thanks

Hi SatvikVedala,
If I'm being honest, when I look at your prep routine, I see the main issue is that it's very question-heavy, which is likely why you have not seen the improvement you'd like to see. The good news is that if you can adjust your prep strategy to a topical learning and practice approach, I do think you'll see the improvement you are looking for. Let's use quant as an example.
For instance, let's consider your study of Number Properties. First, immerse yourself in all aspects of this topic, and then, focus solely on Number Property questions. After each problem set, take the time to delve into your incorrect answers. This self-reflection is a powerful tool that allows you to understand your learning process and make significant improvements. For instance, if you made a mistake in a remainder question, ask yourself why. Was it a careless error? Did you not apply the remainder formula correctly? Was there a concept in the question that you didn't grasp?
By meticulously analyzing your mistakes, you will efficiently address your weaknesses and, consequently, enhance your GMAT quant skills. This process has been unequivocally proven to be effective. Number Properties is just one example; follow this process for all Quant, Verbal, and DI topics.
