Hi,
I had given my GMAT again on Aug 24th,2017. Need help on how to improve my score and any changes/recommendations required in my Prep Process. Giving my retake on Sept 27th,2017
The Princeton Review tests

In my prep process going in detail -
Verbal:
SC :
CR :
RC :
Coming to Quants: (Will brief it up Quickly)
To conclude, I want to know if the GMAT experts can suggest few prep changes that may be required and also some good sources to actually improve my Quants score. I ideally want to reach 49-51 in Quants but am not finding the proper resources or materials to improve my score.(I have been trying to solve the 700+ Questions from GMATClub Quants forum.But, I find that I am lacking concepts in some of the Quants topics such as Permutations and Combinations, Probability, Statistics).
Similarly, need comments w.r.t improving Verbal(I want to reach 38-40).
Also, can you suggest other tests which I can take up in order to benchmark properly where I stand today w.r.t actual GMAT Exam? I still haven't used up my GMAT Prep exam packs
Thanks in Advance.

In my prep process going in detail -
Verbal:
SC :
- I started reading with MGMAT SC (A very useful book) helped me to get through the basics very well. Solved all the problem sets in all chapters.
- After completing the MGMAT SC, I started working on all the OG SC Questions. Gone through all the explanations given by GMATClub members (hats-off to you people for making such a wonderful thing happen) and noted down take-away from each question.
- Now I am able to solve the SC questions well compared to previous encounters
CR :
- I kind of used the videos given in the following link in GMATClub https://gmatclub.com/forum/everything-you-need-to-know-about-critical-reasoning-25-videos-209291.html. These videos are helpful and now I am able to solve CR relatively well after practicing all the question from OG.
RC :
- Started reading the MGMAT RC a few days back... So cannot really comment much about my prep on this section, but the approach in MGMAT RC looks really helpful.
Coming to Quants: (Will brief it up Quickly)
- As I needed to brush up my basics I started solving R.S Aggarwal quantitative aptitude.
- Parallely, I also solved Questions from OG. Solved a few drills given by Princeton Review.
- Used up MGMAT Geometry as I lack in Geometry concepts.
- Also maintaining an error log to track all my mistakes in Quants.(Mostly includes 'Silly mistakes' or 'Misinterpreting the Question' etc...)
To conclude, I want to know if the GMAT experts can suggest few prep changes that may be required and also some good sources to actually improve my Quants score. I ideally want to reach 49-51 in Quants but am not finding the proper resources or materials to improve my score.(I have been trying to solve the 700+ Questions from GMATClub Quants forum.But, I find that I am lacking concepts in some of the Quants topics such as Permutations and Combinations, Probability, Statistics).

Hi Eshwar Nag Lanka,
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, 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?
2) Have you used any other study materials besides the ones listed in your first post?
Goals:
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
4) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
Considering these practice CAT scores, and your score goal, it's likely that you're going to need more than 40 days of study time to get to the 700+ level. You're going to have to makes significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections - and all of that work is going to take time. It's likely that you'll need another 2-3 months of consistent, guided study to get to 700+, which is meant to say that you might need to push back your Test Date. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level.
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich
