Hi,
I am an aspiring GMATer and have planned to give the test within next 30 days.
I have a target score of 700 which is realistic for me but i am having trouble scoring good in mock tests.
I am decent in quant part but suck in verbal. From the last 3 months, i have dedicated most of time to verbal and now i have started to get to average level.
However the scores are fluctuating a lot, for eg. in 1 test i score 13/17 correct in SC but get 4/11 in CR, in the next, i score 7/17 in SC and 8/11 in CR.
Would really appreciate some advice on the doubts i have. Can anyone please help?
My doubts are:
1. What are the top 5 topics of question in the first 20 range of each section.
Like for Quant: 1. Yes/No DS, 2. Probability....
For Verbal: SC: 1. Parallelism 2. Modifiers....etc
This would really help me plan for my focus area as i want to have.
2. For SC which is better, E-Gmat tutorials in the below link or just youtube grammar videos?
https://gmatclub.com/forum/e-gmat-s-all-sc-topics-consolidated-144985.html
3. Which lever questions should i practice more 700 or 600?
While doing 700 level question, the correct % is not great and get demotivated after it. Whereas in 600 level questions, the correct % is good but want to go a level higher. U see the problem here.
4. For quant, are you aware of any question bank of mix question for practice. My trouble some areas in quant are Percentage, Remainders and related Questions.
5. And finally, i might not have covered all the points here, but feel free to give the inputs.
Your inputs are highly valuable and would make out of it.

Amulya
