Hi All,
Some background on my prep - I have been preparing since march'21 with the help of
e-gmat software.
Quant - I got done with all the concept files and quizzes for each topic, however later in April I figured I'm facing a lot of problems with word problems.
E-gmat updated their word problems module from a lesson of 24 modules to 100 modules. Invested a lot of time on word problems but I feel I have finally gained some comfort on word problems now. I still struggle with probability but I'm working on that.
Material used so far -
E-gmat software for all topics,
OG 2021, completed few topics (Absolute values, Algebra, Arithmetic, Combinations and Coord Geo) from CJ
OG question bank.
Verbal - I spent a LOT of time on SC and it shows on the level of confidence I have while attempting a SC question. On the other hand, I paid VERY less attention to CR and performed pathetically on the first mock. RC is not that great for me either.
Material used so far - Extensively used
e-gmat for SC, Manhattan guide for CR (haven't practiced as many questions till now),
OG 2021 for RC (not completed all the questions)
With this level of prep, I thought of giving my first mock from
Expert's Global to know where I stand right now and scored a Q48 V37 - a score of 700.
After doing a lot of questions from here and there, I realised I'm doing a lot of hard questions for quant when I'm not even ready to tackle 700 level ones with the right strategy. In some debrief I read the student focussed majorly on
OG questions (past year
OG + review) and maintained an
error log. I stumbled upon CJ
OG question bank from the same debrief and decided to go through each one of them topic wise and create an
error log for myself which would help me understand where I'm going wrong.
I plan to do the same for CR and RC questions as well.
Please help me understand if I'm going in the right direction with my current strategy and what I should do more.
My target score is 730+Tagging

questions are usually 550 - 650 level (except a few) so focussing on them will not do you much good. You should be able to sail through most
questions effortlessly in seconds. The test will show you the level of questions you are actually going to come across. If you have been doing a lot of official questions from here and there, note that the score will be inflated. You can try out our free practice test here if you have not done too many Veritas questions:
Our scores compare very well with actual GMAT scores.
Make the most of the CR and RC official questions you have. Try 5 a day and evaluate them through and through to understand how official questions are worded and what they test.
Once you come back with your official practice test/Veritas practice test score, I will be better able to comment on how to proceed from here.
