550 to 750 - How YOU can be just as successful

Wow! such a great story that you shared here. After I read it, it totally cheers me up. Thank you so much

Congrats! Seems like you were really thorough!

Hi Top5Gun,

I'll be honest with you that it has been almost a year and a half since I took the GMAT, and I don't really remember strategies about specific areas (e.g. number properties) anymore. Believe me, the moment I saw my 750 score, I started purging all the GMAT information from my brain and started moving onto the application process However, I'll tell you that number properties is an area that I too was really struggling with initially. I am glad that you have taken note of your weakness in this area, and are eager to work on it though, since I believe that this is a really important part of the quantitative portion of the exam.

I remember that for myself I just kept reading and reviewing the MGMAT number properties book, which does a great job explaining the number properties that will come in handy on the exam. Definitely do the MGMAT practice problems at the end of each section and do them again and again if you have to. The MGMAT book will also direct you towards some official GMAT problems from the OG that test those concepts, so I highly recommend drilling those at well. If you keep reviewing these concepts, they will eventually become second nature to you. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but eventually. I remember I sucked at number properties and kept reviewing these, and one day everything just clicked (well maybe not at once, but one concept at a time).

Hope this helps.

Congratulations on your result!
