If use the new view in this page search.php?view=search_tags

You can readily select official sources, it's prefilled (and near official as well)

Feel free to provide feedback(there's an option in the same page) if you don't like something we'll revamp.

Something is off here. If you’ve really put in 1,080 hours, are at 100% on Easy and Medium TTP Quant questions, around 95% on Hard questions, and can explain the concepts clearly, then an 83 Quant score on a mock does not line up with the level of mastery you’re describing.

A couple of careless mistakes can happen, but the bigger issue is your comment that you sometimes did not understand what the question was really asking. Given your preparation and your TTP performance, I want to understand exactly what is happening under test conditions.

Please reach out to me directly. I’d like to take a closer look at your situation, your mock, your timing, and the types of questions you’re missing. For sure, something is not right here, and I think we need to figure out what it is before you just keep doing more of the same.

hey guys spent 1080 hours on TTP and got only 83 Q on the mock, at TTP I have 100% on easy and med and 95% on hard and understood every concept and can easily explain any question. The mistakes on the mock were mostly due to not understanding what is question really about and 2 simple careless mistakes I should have got right. Any suggestions how to improve from here?

Hi Guys, I have been giving mocks and have taken GMAT club pro package as well for mocks. I see improved score in one mock and then the score decreases in the next mock. Has anyone faced this issue as well while giving mba.com or third party mocks? Any insight here would be appreciated.

Yes it’s never always increasing, there will be spikes and drops (because question topic, difficulty, order varies). What matters is how well you analyze these and learn from the mistakes.

Wrote up a single post answering the thing that keeps coming up here, how close GMAT Club Tests and official mocks actually are to the real exam.



I combed all 686 pages of the General GMAT Chat thread. 247 posts ask some version of it.

What's in it:
• What each test actually predicts, and why GMAT Club Quiz predicts nothing
• GMAC's own wording on why retaking a mock inflates your score
• Whether mocks 1 and 2 are easier than 3 to 6 (short answer, no)
• My own mock averages against all four attempts

What’s the average time you take to solve a question during prep?
Do you usually take a break after solving a few questions while prep?
Can you solve those questions, the ones in the mocks, after the exam is over?

Question solving skills and test taking skills are very different.

Any advise on how to increase DI score, mine hasnt crossed 80 till now.
Every time percentile drops either one in DS/TPA/MSR hugely, and I get in between 70-80 percentile in one or two question types at max.
Also, no question type crosses 80 percentile on its own!

Hey at TTP I solve every question timed below the limit, also at the mock I didn’t struggle with timing. I do long sets of questions and short so also not this. The problem is at the mock I had is I either know how to solve the question instantly or I couldn’t come up with how to approach the question or simply what is it about, After the mock when I check answers, here on the gmatclub, they are not something unknown to me, its clear after reading once the answer but couldn’t come up with it by myself.

If you can study full-time, then you can consider that option. But if that’s not the case, I would definitely advise you not to join them.
