Hello experts,
Hope all of you are doing well!
I gave the gmat 2 months ago (Score: 700- Q:48 V :37). I had been studying for roughly 4 months (roughly 4-5 hours everyday) when I gave the test.
Here is a breakup of all the resources I used:
1.
Egmat verbal and verbal scholoranium
2. Aristotle SC guide
3.
Manhattan Books (all verbal and quant)
4. Official guides and verbal- quant review (also conducted a detailed analysis of each question through gmat club forums on why it was wrong etc)
5. Powerscore CR bible
6.
Gmat club tests for quant (gave it in the form of quizzes and attempted 1100 quant questions. Did not attempt verbal questions.)
7. Gmat ninja videos on youtube (all of them)
Coming into the test week, I was little exhausted with studying for the gmat and would have preferred to delay it but due to time constraints I decided to give it anyway. I would also like to bring to your notice that I did not attempt any official mocks or any tests of the kind.(the actual test was my first attempt at any full gmat test). I understand that mocks are very important but fatigue and time constraints did not allow me to give them. Naturally during the test day, I had a big problem in pacing in the verbal section (I did not have an issue of pacing in quant).
SC had always been my strong suit when solving the
OG questions and even in the
egmat scholoranium, I did get a deep understanding of the concepts and nuances but on the test day the questions went over my head.
I am now picking my gmat prep again hoping to get a target score of 730+. I am looking to give the gmat again within roughly 2-3 months (planning to apply to ISB in this august). I would really appreciate if any of you could help me in analysing my ESR report and also guide me on what all steps I should take to improve my score from 700 to 730+.
Looking forward to your replies!
Thanks!
