Hi Everyone,
I just finished week 10 of the
Magoosh GMAT Advaced study program and took the first exam in the Kaplan program. I scored a 580 ( Q36 V 33). To be honest I'm a little disappointed with the score in the Verbal section as i thought i would do better. So far i was building the pillars on all the topics covered by the Gmat. I did not take the LSAT exams suggested in the study program nor did i purchase the
OG verbal book because i felt it was waste of money to buy more books from the ones i had, instead i focused in trying to understand the concepts the video lessons
Magoosh offered. Maybe i should have bought the books. My aim is to get to the 700 score, I know i can do it with great effort, but it is no problem as i'm ready to put in the work.
Overall i feel more comfortable now with the material and i think it is time to start the real exponential improvement. I plan to finish the
Magoosh 12 week program and i would like to take an extra 1 month intensive preparation. What prep program do you guys suggest for the last 1 month preparation i intend to do?
Sincerely,
Arturo
Hi Arturo,
Your choice of using
Magoosh for your preparation is great.
Magoosh is a phenomenal course and covers the entire syllabus really well. I must add that if you are particularly looking to discover and improve on your weak areas in quant; a subscription to
GMATCLUB tests is the best way to do that. They are indeed phenomenal and will not only pinpoint your weak areas but also help you improve on them.
Further taking multiple mocks might help. Apart from the GMATPREP,
Manhattan GMAT tests and Veritas Prep Tests in my experience have a good verbal and Quant section and will certainly help you point out and improve your weak areas.
Further another advantage of taking many mocks is to build up your stamina. Apart from the GMATPREP tests, taking practise tests of any major GMATPREP company ought to do that.
I would also encourage you to purchase the GMATPREP QP 1 for some great additional practice.
Hope this helps. All the best.
