Re: Help with preparation [#permalink]
I had gone through the same situation last year. One thing i can suggest based on my experience is to take one thing at a time, focus on your weak sections and build ability in that sub-section. For example in verbal, if sc and rc are your weak section, work on sc concepts, cement the methods and acquire the ability by following the process. I found egmat really helpful for verbal and gmat club for quant preparation.

Hi meghakayal16, since your target score is 230 points away, i think you need to readjust your target as of now. You can get a 100 point increase easily, and then work your way up. Currently you have Q38 and V23. Would you say you are stronger in quants or verbal? Let us say you are stronger in quants , then first work on getting the quants score higher. Go from topic to topic and understand the concepts. Then give another mock test. If there is an improvement, then work from there. Usually the higher you go the more effort you need to put in, for example the amount of effort you put in to get a score increase from 500 to 600 is equivalent to 710 to 730 for example.

Hi SC9154, thanks a lot for your inputs.. when you say gmat club to be helpful for quant preparation. Is there any particular group or how exactly should I follow gmat club for quant preparation?

Hi AnirudhaS, Thankyou for your guidance.. I always felt that my verbal is stronger than quants.. because there are couple of topics in quants that makes me giddy like permutation and coordination and probability and high level questions of number systems...And in verbal, I have found myself performing good when I was studying the official guides. With a 85-90% accuracy for easy questions, 75-80% accuracy for medium questions and 50% accuracy for difficult ones..
My mock speaks something else completely..

I am no expert, so I may be pushing you in the wrong direction. However, I will say what my experience was. I guess for now you completely forget about 700+ questions. People under-estimate the essence of 500+ and 600+ questions. All you need to do is get 100% accuracy in these questions first - I say that because these questions rely on 'simple' application of the concept. Nothing less than 100% accuracy, no 90% is not enough. If you are not getting these questions right, it is not a wise decision to go the 700+ ones. Why don't you first download the gmatclub quant book written by Bunuel first. It has about 120 pages, I need you to understand all of the book, not just read it - internalize it.

Also, you were talking about probabilities and perm-comb. Forget about them as well (for now). First focus on Number system and inequalities. Then arithmetic -like the word problems etc. Then do venn diagrams and finally you finish off with geometry. I think you also have to do statistics - but the important concepts are mean, median, mode and standard deviation. Do these first. Forget about probabilities now, they only start coming as 700 questions, not before. Your goal is to reach that first.
