Hi

I am planning to write my GMAT in August end 2014, but still not able to score good in mocks. :(

I am consistently scoring in the range of 600 to 620, Please somebody tell me how to prepare in these last 20 days.

I have studied MGMAT guides, Powerscore bible , OG 13 and other online resources.

I am aiming for anything above 680. Kindly help.

My recent mock score in gmat prep 1 is 610 Q44 V31 (7-8 questions got wrong in quant coz of very silly mistakes)

All I see is you have strong basics, but missing out on hard problems/ advance strategies.

please read through below post to know how to improve on quant and verbal.

1. A way to increase from Q35-40 to Q 47

2. How to improve your quant from Q44 to Q50?

3. The Final Climb: Quest for Q 50+ from Q47/48

4. How to go to V40 from V30- verbal.

The study plan, if you like.

1. GMAT Study Plan: go from 650 to 700+


Hope it helps :).

Thanks for your reply.

Could you please help me with which all sources I can refer for improving my score in last 20 days.
In verbal and Quant I want few more practice sets to work on harder problems.

Hi,
I just wanted to share a blog with you I recently came across. I know it doesn’t outline an exact plan for exactly how you should go about it, but it is a great confidence booster.
https://econgm.at/NWd2im
My purpose in sharing this with you is to give you that boost of confidence you will definitely need in the next 20 days. I also would recommend checking one of the many posts you can see on this site showcasing what to do on days 30-14-7-3-1 before the test. I know you only have 20 but it has some great tips.

What are your strengths and what are your weaknesses? Do you feel more comfortable with Verbal or Quant? If you provide me with a few more specifics I may be able to provide you with something more exact such as some supplementary material to add on to what you are already studying. Let me know and we will take it from there. Good luck!
