Q43 V24 - "LAGGING READING SKILL" [#permalink] New post   02 Dec 2014, 05:54
Hi,

I had completed the Economist tutor GMAT course now. My present score is Q43 & V24 (90% accuracy in SC) . What I got from Economist was the increase in my Quant scores from 29 to 43, and the increase in my SC accuracy from 50% to 90%. But I completely lag in my RC and CR. If you ask me what is your weakness then I would tell you that it is my READING SKILL.

My GMAT weakness are Word problems, CR , and Reading Comprehension.

Please suggest me my some strategy focussing on these areas. I postponed my exam for a month now.

Thanks :)

The best way to improve on reading comprehension is to improve critical reading skills in general. That can be achieved by using targeted GMAT resources and also by reading non GMAT material, such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Economist, and Scientific American. Another way to improve is to keep a good record of the types of text (business, social science, hard science) that you struggle with, as well as the question types that you perhaps miss consistently (inference, main idea, detail, etc). This way you know where you need practice!

Hi Ram1987,

Since it's been over 6 months since you posted, have you made any progress in the areas that you listed? Have you taken the Official GMAT yet?

Hi Ram1987,

I'm happy to hear Economist GMAT Tutor helped you improve your overall score. That being said, Janelle is on the right track here. We've found our students have improved their reading skills by going outside of their materials for additional reading sources. Feel free to supplement anything you've used previously with opinion pieces from sources you trust for your news, etc.

Also, would love an update as well, especially considering it's been almost 7 months.

Best,
Rich
