Hey there,
I scored a 720 Q49 V40 recently and my prep tests have been in the 730-740 range. Any advice on bettering this score? I'm looking for a 760+ and I'm in no rush to apply for b-school.
Thanks!!
Hi dumptruck,
Until and unless you have set some goal score for yourself and you will not be able to breath properly if you do not achieve that score, I think you actually do not need to retake the GMAT. A 720 can get you an admit from any B-School you want if you play your cards properly and present a strong application.
If you plan on retaking any way, the best way to go forwards would be to order the ESR and see which sections troubled you.
See the ESR in conjunction with your mock CATs and identify the weak areas. Drill down deep to sections, subsections and finally topics
SC: The questions test various concepts such as S-V agreement, modifiers, parallelism etc. Find out what troubles you.
CR: There might be certain types of questions that are troubling you. May be Assumption, may be conclusion, inference etc.
You need to find that out and then practice them
RC: This again can be drilled down into different types of questions and also different topics. See what questions and topics trouble you the most and then practice accordingly.
Quants: PS or DS. The topics such as Algerba, Geometry, Probability, Number system et all.
As an addition, start preparing an
error log and keep a note of all the mistakes you made and the lessons you learnt from the problems. This will ensure you do not make the same mistake again.
