Hey guys
Just want to know what should the next step be now I have finished verbal concept wise and simultaneously practising section wise from OG2020 and OGvr 2020 with 80-90 percent accuracy , I have however been doing the verbal only not under accurate timing but under 22.5-30 minutes timings
Should I move on the quant concepts now and then practise with og for quant the same way ? Or do timed condition practising for verbal first under test conditions before moving on to quant ?
Also I have been studying from the egmat course and I don’t know but the egmat course questions I am really stuck at 60-70% accuracy for medium questions , but OG questions i really get it properly .
Please suggest the path moving forward also , I don’t think I should waste more time on concepts as already given almost 2 months to verbal only .
Will accuracy improves with proper understanding through error analysis and should I be moving on to doing the questions now u der times circumstances, or again spend all time doing concepts
The best path forward would be greatly appreciated preferably from fellow students who have done the test recently and can help a brother out

Hello, Nitish. I would not beat a dead horse, as the idiom goes. There is no need to test conceptual understanding over and over when you are getting the concepts right at an 80-90-percent level. I also think it is wise to center your practice on official questions, as opposed to spending the majority of your time working through e-GMAT questions or any other third-party material. GMAC™ does not license GMAT™ questions, so you can only get an accurate feel for actual questions by practicing official ones. This is not to say that you cannot learn grammatical concepts or strategies from e-GMAT or any other source. Again, just make sure to apply your knowledge to official questions the majority of the time. You should consider working through timed practice sets to simulate an actual testing environment, as time will not be unlimited when you go to sit for the exam. I like to say that accuracy should come first, then timing, and finally you will get the marriage of the two, efficiency. If you abandon your Verbal studies now, you might find yourself quite slow and a little more inaccurate in the future.
As for Quant, if you are eager to begin studying, then by all means do so. You can always work in some timed Verbal sets on alternating days or every so many days. If you do not start Quant soon, then you will risk burning out on Verbal and growing increasingly anxious about Quant. To be honest, you will probably never feel 100 percent ready to shift your focus, or to take the test for that matter, but you want to create and maintain momentum as much as possible during a course of study, which means finding ways to engage with the material on a day-to-day basis. Think to yourself how much better you might feel if you were to spend an equivalent amount of time focusing on Quant in the near future. Just remember that Quant questions work the same way: always come back to official questions to practice.
Good luck.
- Andrew

Hey Andrew
Thank you so much for taking out the time really you pumped me up
I have been doing the E. Gmat course and their questions have been really putting me off , so as you say I’ll start quant Monday onwards and then every alternate day keep practising let’s say set of 20 questions to keep the verbal mind ticking right ?
Thank you , sometimes we just need some sound advice as the test is full of anxiety
Also in how much time from now should I write the test realistically given that I need to spend a considerable amount doing practise tests , error analysis and entire quant section
Regards
