Need to go from 660 to 700 in a week. Please help!

Hello Apurve,

Over this final week, focus on the basics of sentence correction and prioritize meaning over grammar. Even the hardest sentence corrections are more concerned with clear intent than obscure idiom. Remember meaning dictates grammar, not the other way around. In every sentence prioritize identification of the intended subject-verb agreement, subject-object agreement, subject-modifier agreement, pronoun-subject agreement, and any other issues of parallelism and comparison over arcane memorization of idiom, because these discrepancies will be easier to identify. Simultaneously focusing on these issues should speed up your sentence correction time.

Once you have less time spent on sentence corrections, you should see your CR and RC scores improve a bit just because more time = greater accuracy on those question types. Remember the exam expects you to be spending <1:30 on your average sentence correction question. Lastly, I encourage you to not take any full practice exams within five days of the exam or any prep at all within 24 hours of the exam to avoid burnout on test day.

I hope this helps and good luck as you continue your GMAT journey!
