Need Help and Suggestion/Advice

You just listed a bunch of practice questions. I asked what you have used to study (not what you have checked your studying with). Or are you saying you have not used a single textbook? Like you just skipped the studying part and went straight to checking? Not sure how that works really....

Please read and follow this: https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmat-study-plan-217827.html

That’s all I could tell you.

Sorry I misunderstood your Question, For foundation, I used Manhattan GMAT Strategy Guides ,and few Webinar series on Youtube. Thanks for the Study Plan

And what score did you start with? You have forgotten to mention that as well.

Regarding quant, you can score Q51 with a missed question or possibly even with two missed questions. At the same time, your total score is not exactly based on your section scores. Rather, both your section scores and your total score are based directly on the number and difficulty of the questions that you answered correctly. So, Q51 with one missed quant question and a certain verbal performance often results in a total score lower than the total score that results from Q51 with no missed questions and the same verbal performance. So, the goal is not just to score Q51 but to get as many quant questions as possible correct.

To do so, work question type by question type, strengthening weaker areas. Any kind of quant question that you don't feel comfortable with you need to master answering, so that you go from preferring not to see questions of that type to being excited to see questions of that type.

Regarding verbal, you have partially answered your own question, by making clear that you have to work on RC more, possibly by using LSAT RC resources.

Regarding SC, the fact that you have run out of practice questions is less of an issue that it may appear to be. You can get a LOT from carefully analyzing official SC questions to see what makes them work, even if you have seen them already. One exercise that you could use is going through SC answer choices to find two flaws in each incorrect choice. While, of course, this exercise doesn't work if a question has short answer choices, most SC questions have choices that are flawed in two or more ways.

You can also reanalyze CR questions in a similar way, seeking to see more clearly than you have in the past the key details and logic that make the incorrect choices incorrect and the correct answers correct. There is so much to see in the questions, and it's likely that, in your training, you have seen only a fraction of it.

Have you used these questions? https://www.mba.com/exam-prep/gmat-offi ... -questions

If not, you could get some practice by using them. Just make sure that you practice untimed, making a point of seeing as much as possible in each question before choosing an answer. Given all the prep you have been doing, if you practice untimed, I bet you can achieve hit rates close to 100 percent. Do the same with the LSAT RC passages, practicing untimed and shooting for hit rates close to 100 percent. You have to learn to get questions correct. Once you do so, you can seek to speed up.

You could also practice by using non-official questions. Yes, many are flawed, but some are good enough that you can use them to train to see what there is to see.

While I'm not sure how many more points you need in order to hit your score goal, it seems likely that, by putting yourself in a position to get a few more quant questions correct, by learning to see more in SC and CR questions, and by putting some time into RC, you should achieve your goal.

Hi LoneSurvivor,

First off, a 690/Q50 is a fantastic Score, so it could be enough to get you into your first-choice School. As such, a retest might not be necessary. Depending on the Schools that you plan to apply to, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:

https://gmatclub.com/forum/ask-admissio ... tants-124/

There's no harm in retesting though - and you certainly have the potential to pick up some points in the Verbal section. Before we discuss how you might approach this next phase of your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied in total? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
3) What is your overall goal score?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
5) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

From your original post, it sounds as if you have purchased the Enhanced Score Report. While the ESR doesn’t provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what went wrong on Test Day (and what you should work on to score higher). If you PM me your ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you.

Thanks for the encouragement. I have PMed you my ESR and replied to your queries.

These practice questions are free or paid? I visited this, but I think sign-up is needed for this.

It's a paid resource.
