GMAT Inequalities is a high-frequency topic in GMAT Quant, but many students struggle because the concepts behave differently from standard algebra. Understanding the right rules, patterns, and edge cases can significantly improve both speed and accuracy.- May 06

I took the GMAT 3 times last year and I'm planning a retake in 6 weeks and I need to break 610.
Scores:
560 Q36 V31
Canceled
530 Q31 V32
I have done the Manhattan 9 week program, Magoosh, Target Test Prep, and EmpowerGMAT. Toward the end Empower seemed to be the best for me, but I'm a little stumped on how to approach this retake. I am thinking that I would hit the major areas in DS and PS (Algebra, FDPs, etc) on a week-by-week basis. Take a practice test in about 3 weeks, then continue to study each area on its own. I am open to some other suggestions on how to approach this retake.

6 weeks from now, I understand that its first week of May. Unless you are applying in European Business schools or planning to consider R1 for Jan'18 intake, there is no need to hurry or consider the 6 weeks time frame.
Moving on, I suggest to slow down, since 6 weeks is too less since you already took the test twice with no such score increase. So, better consider 9-10 weeks, review the Manhattan guides, along with kaplan premiere if possible, redo all the OG problems, and you are ready to hit mid 600's, your target score. Alternatively, since you already have access to EmpowerGmat, you can complete the full course, and then shift to OG problems. Whatever you do, accommodate the OG problems in your schedule. You may consider taking two CAT through out the process - one in the middle and one at the end.
Good luck !!

Hi lpierce10,
With a 560, you're remarkably close to a 610 right now - and you don't have to correctly answer ANY questions that you think are too hard or too weird. However, you will have to keep the silly/little mistakes to a minimum. As a way to gauge this issue, you should do a full review of your most recent practice CAT. Of all of the questions that you got wrong, how many (in both the Quant and Verbal sections) COULD you have gotten correct - but didn't because of a silly/little mistake?
