Hello Experts,
I have my GMAT after a month and my target score is Q48,V40. I gave one mock (MGMAT2) today and scored 680 (Q45,V37). I'm confident that with more practice, I'll be able to score Q48 in actual exam but Verbal is giving me nightmares!! For past 1 month, I have concentrated most of my preparation on Verbal only. Sentence Correction score seems to have gone up but CR score is not improving
Presently, my CR accuracy is ~60%. I have read Power score CR bible once and made notes from each chapter. I'm not sure how should I proceed further. I am doing CR questions (
OG/GMATPrep collection) and analyzing the answers but I really feel that there is something missing in my prep. I'm not able to devise any strategy for CR. Please advise.
Thanks.
Hi hsambiguity,
You need to drill down deep into each problem type and understand where you are going wrong.
SC: The questions test various concepts such as S-V agreement, modifiers, parallelism etc. Find out what troubles you.
CR: There might be certain types of questions that are troubling you. May be Assumption, may be conclusion, inference etc.
You need to find that out and then practice them
RC: This again can be drilled down into different types of questions and also different topics. See what questions and topics trouble you the most and then practice accordingly.
Quants: Again try to break the questions in topics such as Algebra, Number system (very important), Geometry, PnC etc.
As an addition, start preparing an
error log and keep a note of all the mistakes you made and the lessons you learnt from the problems. This will ensure you do not make the same mistake again.
Make sure you complete all of the
OG and the Verbal review and if required, you can buy the Question pack1 from mba.com
