For Quant, you are probably looking at learning/re-learning a lot of the fundamentals (i.e. fundamentals surrounding circles and triangles). For Verbal, if you have time, see if you can begin reading articles from the Economist. I'm not sure what the issues are but if you are planning to blitz through a lot of Verbal you may find yourself with limited RCs to use later on.

First, build your ability to read and absorb passages. If you can't speak about a passage after reading it, it's likely the absorption wasn't very high.

All the best. There are free tips on the GK blog by the way. All the best.

Hello 100mitra,

GMAT club is one of the great platforms to get information about the GMAT official test, Study plan, Section wise instructions, and many more. You are recommended to visit various posts and utilize this forum in the best efficient way.

Learning is a continuous process, and it shines with practice. Math is a very tricky subject that is easy to understand and difficult to apply. Success in GMAT Math is entirely based on vital concepts, rigorous practice, complete knowledge of math question types and patterns, quick approaches, and time management.

Your current Mock score is shaky. You can schedule a Free counseling(https://calendly.com/mathrevolution/1-on-1-session) session for 20 mins with one of our experts to have detailed advice on your current study plans.

A score of 400 in the mock test is far indeed from the target score. The score tells that neither the Math nor the Verbal is above average. Hence, both sections have to be taken care of simultaneously. To improve, you will require consistent learning and practice. Also, keep your motivation high to learn.

Since we are a math expert, we will recommend you go through our post on the GMAT club, which gives a complete Breakdown of GMAT math questions and types: https://gmatclub.com/forum/overview-of- ... l#p1641411

Also, make a note of various possible combinations to achieve your target score. The possible scores will help you track your performance after taking the mock or practice test. It will also help you maintain balance in both the sections, and you will always be in a great position to allot the study hours to a specific area accordingly.

After visiting the post, now is the time to start with the basics. To strengthen the basic concept on various topics like arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and word problems, you may refer to many free materials available in GMAT Club.

Solve as many questions as you can relate to different topics, and it is recommended that you try to connect with many proven experts. You can visit the Math Revolution and get access to our 7-days on-demand course for free trial lessons.

While concept learning, try solving 600 level questions by topic and be habitual of creating the error log. Prepare a list of all the doubts you face during solving and practicing questions. This practice will help you assess the topics in which you need more time to prepare. After solving as many questions as possible, take the 1st mock test and assess your performance. You may try our free diagnostic test once. Let some experts evaluate it to make you understand it better.

Continue the process with 650+ level by topic and then 700+ level questions by topic. The entire mock test should be completed in a disciplinary manner. Since this is a bit long journey, 1-on -1 tutoring can also be helpful to shorten the study period if your study budget is affordable.

Regular tests will reflect the positive change in the score, and hence, your confidence will boost up. Gradually, with the help of mock tests, you will be able to compete with time and hence will be able to learn time management.

We appreciate your time and patience in reading this reply.
If you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Success is within your reach.

Good luck!

Dear experts

Requesting for Guidance, this 26th Dec 2021, I have taken official OG Mock test, with 2 months of 2 hours each day study,
Scored 400 (Q32, V17, IR 6)
I am planning to take, final GMAT Exam by 2nd week of April 2022.
With vertias 6 Mocks, Manhattan 6 Mocks, and OG 1 free mock available with me, Pls guide, how to plan better, while aiming to reach 690 or 700, with dedicated 5 Hours (Morning 3hrs and evening 2hrs) of study?

In Verbal my weakness is SC and RC
In Quants my weakness is probability, P& C and word problems.
Requesting for suggestions and Guidance.

Hi 100mitra,

The key to scoring well on GMAT is to focusing on the right aspects. If your score doesn't improve even after months of prep, then that means that there's something wrong with the preparation strategy.

Your score breakup indicates that you are highly struggling with concepts and need to start preparing from scratch. You need to revisit the concepts, learn the right methodologies to solve the questions and only then move to practising questions.

Having said that, it would be too early to conclude anything without knowing the actual reason. To suggest you the plan of action, I need a little more information about your GMAT preparation. I would like to know more about

  • the way you prepared till now (your study strategy)
  • the study plan being followed by you
  • your approach of solving questions
  • the resources you have used

Answers to these questions will help me guide you in a better way. And I personally suggest to go for the exam only after you prepared well and are 100% confident.

You can always write back to me here or the better way would be to connect over a call and have a discussion. You can schedule a free consultation call using the below link.
