GMAT 1st Attempt : 620 V25 Q49

Brief Story : Took Gmat [2nd Attempt] on 13th Dec 650 V28 Q49

Target Score : Q49-50 ; V 42+ OVERALL ; 740+

Gmat 3rd Attempt : 15th Jan 2019

Attached an Excel Sheet with this Message.

I would request you to please go through the Excel sheet once and please provide me with valuable suggestions as to how can i Improve my score past 740+

I can devote 4-5 hours on daily basis till 26th Dec 2019 and from then onwards over 12-15 hours on work Holidays [from 27th to 5th ]

What have I done so far ?
- Lots of SC , CR , RC OG questions + Gmat Club

Mocks Left : Manhattan [5 Nos]
OM [Official Mocks] [3 Nos]
Might take all OMs once again at last

I somehow believe I can do it from a 650 to 750 [ Just want to do all the right things in these last 20-22 days]

I had taken EGmat material twice and couldn't harness its true power due to lot of personal reasons but know I am detached of all those distractions and I want myself to fully commit to GMAT and Win this battle !!

Request

Please Help me in whatever way you think you can , I genuinely need the best advises as I am very much into this now and would do whatever it demands !

Though Pmed Verbal Gurus but I don't have much time left therefore posting it here too.

I just want your perspectives, which I may not have right now.

I don't see an issue other than you wasting your time and making a pdf (kudos but still)
I think you can easily climb to a 700+
Your target score must definitely depend on the B-school that you want to get into.

A 740 is definitely an achievable score.

Trust me- Indian to Indian
GMAT is predictable
Just use official materials or LSAT material (both available on GMAT Club) for preparing
RCs have a pattern
CR even more so
SC is masterable, if you took classes at Jamboree, and have a good grasp on common english (e.g If you think that " I didn't knew" has no grammar error, then you might wanna brush up on your grammar) Usually on GMAT 80% Questions of SC can be solved purely by Grammar, E-gmat has great ideas for SC but going after meaning wastes a lot of my time
Check out the videos that Jamboree has uploaded on their youtube channel that will help in RC strategy, there's more but why pay, if you can get the context.
I took Manhattan, Jamboree, EmpowerGMAT and some other courses

You must stick to the official material, such as old paper based tests (available on GMAT CLub)
New advanced questions
New OGs
The question pack on mba.com
Everything official

Jamboree has a blue book that I did, it had all the past present and other questions, official ones of course
Their website has it in digital quiz format.
But so does GMAT Club

LSAT RCs can help you a lot, I was so proficient in RC by the time I took GMAT that back then I could just tell what the predictable trap they are trying to make me fall into is

Everything is available on GMAT club, just don't go for anything unofficial, because I truly can feel the difference between the actual GMAC questions and the other services

LSAT questions can be easily found in Question banks on GMAT CLUB

If you need a specialised plan for your needs you can follow me and ping me for a free personalised plan.
I have started a pro bono (free) consulting of my own and am trying my best to help students achieve the best that they can.

Thanks for replying

1) That Pdf took not more than 8-10 mins. Reason : I want the reader to get full clarity of my situation as I really want someone “Experienced to Analyse my situation from his/her eye” I would have really appreciated if you could share your insights based on my data. I have the material so not gonna to for any classes at this moment. Just wanna know what else can be done to change the game (Specifically with respect to building accuracy at this moment ) Thanks again . Posted from my mobile device

I merely gave you the idea of the sources, everthing is there for free on gmatclub You cannot go from V28 to V40 in just 1 week, I have a plan based on official content, just go through it https://gmatclub.com/forum/beginner-to- ... l#p2313182 It is a lot about momentum and of course IQ Good luck

Businessconquerer · Answer

I have gone through the material you provided. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to get from V28 to V40+ in a small window of 2-3 weeks. I can share with you a personalised plan fit for your needs, you don't need to pay me, or buy extra stuff from anywhere, consider me a probono consultant. I'll just tell you where you can find the resources and how you could utilize those resources to get your score up. Luckily you have a good time from December to January, perhaps that is the phase in which I can help the magic happen Kindly ping me, I'll update you on what you could do. You may have a look at the plan,, if you like it great, if not, well, it cost you nothing either ways, right?

Hi SUNNYRHODE002.

Moving the needle in verbal takes a LOT of work. Now that you have done a bunch of reading and presumably have a decent grasp of verbal concepts, you have to do a lot of slow, careful analysis of verbal questions and learn to define and clearly articulate exactly why incorrect answers are incorrect and correct answers are correct. In doing so, you could easily spend 20 minutes or more per question, analyzing choices and articulating what's incorrect or correct about them. You may even have to do some research as you are analyzing a question to learn more about the concepts that that question involves.

The point of doing all this work is to develop an eye for what you need to see in order to correctly answer verbal questions.

As you do this work, your reasons for eliminating or choosing choices should NOT be like these:

- This version sounds funny / sounds the best.

- This choice uses the same words that the passage uses / discusses topics that the passage discusses.

- I don't see how this is relevant. The passage never mentions X.

Here's how to clearly articulate why a verbal choice is correct or incorrect:

- Through the use of a closing participial phrase, this sentence suggests that there is a cause-and-effect connection between two events that actually have no such relationship.

- While this choice seems to weaken the argument, it actually weakens the support for a conclusion related to but slighty different from the one made by the argument's author.

- While this choice uses wording similar to that used in the passage, the passage does not actually say that electrical energy was necessary for making the experiment work. It merely says that electrical energy was used to speed up the process to be observed.

What GMAT verbal tests is basically the level of sophistication of the thinking that you bring to bear when answering the questions. So, you have to develop an eye for what's going on in the questions and learn to use logical, complete, and clearly convincing reasons for eliminating or choosing choices.

That actually does sum a lot of it up.

Apologies for being late to the party here, but I just want to echo what MartyTargetTestPrep said above. ANYTHING is possible with enough effort, but it can take some time to move the needle on verbal. Marty's advice here is absolutely spot-on, and if you're looking for the type of generic verbal advice that can be dispensed in a single post, it's hard to improve on what he said.
