Hello,
I am planning to write GMAT on 20th July and have been preparing it from the past three months.
I have completed all the verbal questions in
OG 2020 and my accuracy in SC, RC and CR stands at roughly 70%. I want to know that is it sufficient if I only practice the verbal questions from
OG?
If I practice verbal only from
OG what could be my verbal score in real GMAT?
For Quants, I am having subscription of Wizako and practicing questions from it.
Posted from my mobile deviceHi AbbasAli12,
You can assess your current level by taking an official mock. That will help you understand whether you need to change your study strategy or not. Having said that, solely relying on practicing questions isn't the right way to prepare for GMAT. Let me elaborate on it.
What is tested on GMAT?
GMAT is not a typical exam which tests your conceptual knowledge. It tests a lot more than that. So, the normal tendency of “improving the score by practicing more and more questions” doesn’t work here. There is a certain way you have to prepare for GMAT. As GMAT tests your application skills along with the conceptual knowledge, your focus while preparing has to be to learn the right methodology as well.
Only after you are done with learning the concepts and the methodology of a topic, you can jump into solving questions of that topic. Now ask yourself, does
OG really help you learn the concepts and the methodologies effectively?
So, it’s always better to start your preparation with a standard resource which can help you learn the concepts and the methodologies and then move to solving questions using
OG. This way your preparation will be a lot more structured and there are less chances for you to have any gaps while solving questions.
How to proceed further?
If you are done with your prep, then take an official mock. Identify your weak areas and work on them accordingly. I can help you in a much better way if you can provide me a few more details such as
- your current study strategy
- your approach of solving questions (for each module)
This will help me guide you in a better way. You can write back to me here or a better way is to get in touch over a call and discuss the same. You can use the link below to schedule a call with me.
