OG -- Speicific topic questions in OG

Question

Hello everyone,

I have just started my prep and I am going quant heavy in month 1. I have started revisiting the concepts in the Manhattan GMAT books, the query I have is how do I approach the quant prep topic wise, I can think of the following options.

1) Do the MGMAT theory and the questions at the end of each chapter in MGMAT. Once MGMAT is fully completed, only then do I open OG for quant

OR

2) do MGMAT theory and the questions that come in it and then solve OG quant questions. (The problem here lies in the identification of questions belonging to the MGMAT topic in OG).

Please help a friend here. Thanks!

I am using OG 22 and I have some old MGMAT books handed down by my friend.

Best,
Faheem

Hey  faheem7791 , 
I think you should take a mock exam from mba.com and get to know where you stand.
You should report back with your score here and then arises the question on how you should prep forward.

Hello Kntombat,

It was Q44 and V29. I had given it with no prep and I am confident I can improve both the scores. I had 5 questions wrong in each PS and DS.

Decided to bump Q to a 50/51 before deep diving in Verbal. I will devote 1/1.5 month to quant. I want to be razor sharp with how I prepare for it.

Plan to give the exam in Sept/Oct

Thanks!

Hey faheem7791 , That's a good starting point. You could go the self study route, but I would recommend that you try a course like Target Test Prep. They have an amazing trial which you can go through to get an idea about the course. You can go through their reviews and testimonials here : https://gmatclub.com/reviews/target-tes ... 85?stars=4 and you can attend the webinar that they are hosting tomorrow on YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB0i0xpmG_A MartyTargetTestPrep , ScottTargetTestPrep

Hi. I would recommend doing the OG questions ass you cover the books. You can use the GMAT Club’s error log for the OG 2022 to identify OG questions by topic. https://gmatclub.com/forum/error-log-fo ... 58222.html Hope it helps! 😎 Posted from my mobile device

Hi faheem7791,

Many GMATers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so beginning your studies now (for a planned Test Date in September or October) is a smart choice. In addition, an initial CAT Score around a 600 is a strong performance (the average score on the Official GMAT hovers around 550 most years).

From what you describe though, your immediate study plan is 'book heavy'; unfortunately, many Test Takers who study in that way end up getting 'stuck' at a particular score level. There's no harm in starting off your studies in that fashion, but you'll likely end up needing to invest in some additional, non-book resources at some point. I suggest that you actually do 'some Quant and some Verbal' each week though (as opposed to the "all of one, then all of the other" that you're planning). You'll likely find it easier to retain everything overall if you're working on a mix of subjects. You should also plan to take a new FULL-LENGTH CAT (with the Essay and IR sections) in about 2 weeks and report back with your score. We can then discuss the results and any adjustments that you might make to your studies going forward.

Before I can offer you any additional advice, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on your timeline and your goals:

1) What “brands” of CATs/mocks do you currently have access to?
2) What is your overall goal score?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
