EMPOWERgmatRichCHi! As I promised last week, I have taken a gmat mock test today from
Expert's Global.
I got a 620. Q46 and V29.
Verbal seemed a little bit more difficult than both
the official guide questions and the gmat prep test 1. (
Expert's Global questions were more about vocabulary...)
Overall: Quant 19/37 correct answers. I have problems in the "Numbers section" and in the "algebraic inequations section." I didn't have problems with time in the quant section, but i did have in the verbal section. I had to guess 4 questions in the RC section.
Verbal: 21/41 correct answers. 4/11 Rc, 7/14 CR, 10/16 SC. But as I said before, the questions were more about vocabulary... So some questions took me a little bit more to understand because of difficult words (
og questions seemed easier to me, as I did not have problems in understanding the questions, easy vocabulary...).
What I have been doing recently to improve:
Every day I read 1 or 2 articles from the economist and solved 15+- questions from
the official guide (DS, CR and SC). Also, I have been reviewing
magoosh math flashcards.
On another hand, I have noticed that Reading the
OG CR explanations takes me a long time, and I end up spending almost all the time reading the CR explanations. Is that correct? Should I solve more questions instead of reading the explanations? I read every solution, even if I get the answer right.
On sundays, I read
Manhattan books, or PowerScore CR bible. (I don't solve any questions). I would say Sundays are dedicated to reviewing concepts, strategies,etc.
Any tips for improving? I cannot study more than 3 hours a day.
