Hi All,
Some context:
- Took 1st GMAT in February (680 Q46, V38)
- Took 2nd GMAT on 6/22 (670 Q45, V37) Cancelled
- Took 3rd GMAT on 7/20 (690 Q47, V38) Cancelled
General mock tests range from Q45-50, V36-42 across 6 Veritas/Manhattan Prep mocks exhausted my GMAT Prep mocks (700/750*/700/700/700/690)
* - Retook GMAT Prep #2 after 6 months and scores a 750 day before GMAT #3
I am targeting R1 applications and giving the online GMAT a final on 7/31 with a goal score of 730+. Between 6/22 and 7/20 I focused on Sentence Correction, which thankfully improved but led to a fall in RC/CR.
During this latest GMAT, I was extremely anxious/nervous heading into the test and ended up rushed in my last 10 questions both on quant and verbal, I believe a detriment in my preparation was not managing my time appropriately. I have done the research and feel that I have an appropriate time strategy. My current strategy for the next 10 days is as follows:
- eGMAT Scholaranium - Hard SC/CR practice quizzes
- Target Test Prep - Hard geometry, word problems, and number property quizzes; Global Quiz #1/2
- OG Wiley - Redo all hard quant problems (Last finished these in March)
- GMAT Prep - Hard CR questions
Time Strategy
- SC (No more than 90s)
- CR (No more than 120s)
- Quant (No more than 120s)
- RC (3-4 min for passage, 45s for questions)
I wanted to see if the experts on GMAT Club had any added insights when looking at my ESRs from both 6/22 and 7/20 or further advice.
