Hi
I need expert advise on my Gmat Preparation. I have joined a offline classes. The classes are over and I have almost finished
OG 17 once on my behalf almost( doubts uncleared). My scores varied as following:
Mock 1( Before the classes began) : 490 V17, Q41
Mock 2: 550 V25, Q41
Mock 3(recently) : 480 V14, Q43
I am really disheartened. I have a strong feeling that something is definitely wrong in my practice and so I could not make it. I am not able to make a strict schedule. I ma a working professional and I feel it is definitely required to have a plan. Please help me out with my preparation strategies. Should I join some online preparation course like
e-gmat for verbal since I already followed up with all the coaching material but could make no progress and even my doubts remain uncleared. I don't want the timeto flow out of my hands. Please help me out how should i proceed. I aim to achieve 730+ and ready to follow any plan.
Thanks in advance
Hi swatygi,
The best way to improve is by trying to drill down into each problem type to ace them.
SC: The questions test various concepts such as S-V agreement, modifiers, parallelism etc. Find out what troubles you. As a general guide line, you can start solving a question by taking the following things in consideration:
1. Find out the subject and the verb
2. See that the S&V agree in number
3. Look out for the modifiers
4. Look out for parallelism
5. Look out for usage of certain words - such as vs like, few vs less etc.
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.
