Hello,
I gave my gmat attempt a couple of months ago (scored 680) and I ordered ESR of the same. However, I am having trouble analyzing the data. It'll be really helpful if the experts can evaluate my ESR and give their valuable recommendations. I have attached my esr pdf to this post.
I have almost a month with me to prep and get to 730+ score.
GMATNinja, Bunuel, egmat, MartyTargetTestPrep, RonTargetTestPrep, ScottTargetTestPrep, bb, gmatwhiz, KarishmaB and any other experts can share their thoughts.

File comment: Looking forward to in depth analysis.

Hi SDW2,

Can you provide some information on how you prepared for your GMAT? Additionally, what were the dates and score breakdowns of your official practice exams?

Your Verbal Q4 was averaging 0:41 so working on a time management method may be helpful. You may currently be spending too long on the first two quarters. For RC, figuring out how INFERENCE questions work may also boost your performance on that section.

Hi,
Thank you for the response.
I have used official prep material and egmat for a while. I have been preparing for couple of years now with intermittent study plan due to hectic work. I gave the exam in mid Aug and I have not given the official mocks recently (but my previous scores (almost a year ago) in prep3,4,5,6 were around 700s-700, 710, 670). I did give egmat's mocks and scores were around 700 (710, 710, 660, 680) and with a similar QV split (Q46-49, V35-38) as in the gmat exam.
Also, I have given gmat once before and scored 690 (Q47, V38) about a year ago.

Hi,.
thank you for the feedback. Can you please share how can I go from V37 to V42-44 looking at my ESR? Also, any advice on quant? I have particularly been struggling to get my quant above Q47

Hi SDW2.

In verbal, you were doing quite well as long as you spent over 2 minutes per question. So, I think the main thing you need to do to achieve the verbal part of your goal is to keep practicing to learn to see what's going on in verbal questions faster.

What I've seen is that people who shoot for very high accuracy UNTIMED when practicing verbal, learn to see a lot and end up answering verbal questions quickly and correctly. You can practice untimed, and any time you miss a question, you can determine why you missed the question and address whatever it is. By repeating that process enough, you get a point such that you are ready to answer any verbal question correctly and you're very skilled. Then, you can seek to reduce the time per question by looking for ways to be more efficient.

For some ideas on how to speed up in verbal, see this post.
