Hello, guys
I just took the gmat and scored a 620 with a 46q and 30v. I plan on retaking the exam ASAP and plan to study full time.
I bought the ESR and managed a score in SC (59 percentile), RC(55 percentile) and CR (53 percentile). I need to do a lot more work on all 3 sections. I plan to do all the questions in the blue verbal book and take a practice exam (repeat gmat prep, because I have already taken the 4 exams) and see how things are going. And probably read a book in two weeks.
My quant breakdown was: 47th percentile in PS, 95 percentile in DS, 71 percentile in arithmetic and 57 percentile in Algebra/geometry.
I guess I should focus my time on geometry problems and algebra? Its hard to know exactly what algebra is considering, given its such a broad topic.
Does anyone have any take on the 95 percentile in DS? I am a bit concerned because scoring another 95 percentile will be a bit hard, I need to elevate my PS percentile.
I wanted to see if anyone could recommend a course of action for both quant and verbal. Quant I would like to increase my 46 to 48, and verbal get at least a 34 or 35.
During the past weeks I have studied only gmat prep questions and from the OG only official material, I have a very good time mgmt strategy and I feel that it helped me a lot during the exam. I want to only spend time with official material, OG, green quant book and gmat prep problems. Can anyone guide me on a plan from 46 to 48?

Hi oloman,
Since you have the ESR, are you comfortable posting the entire Report here (you could also PM me with a PRF)? While it doesn't provide that much information, if I could see all of it, then I should be able to offer you some advice on how you might improve.

Focussing on just the official questions is a very good strategy for retaking the GMAT as this will help you to get familiar with the "types" of questions that you will encounter on the GMAT.
But more than that, you need to focus on building the concepts. You ESR percentiles clearly suggest that there is a lack in understanding of the fundamentals.
I would recommend you to go back to the books/course you were referring during your preparation and revise the fundaments.
If you have not gone through any text book/course, i would highly recommend you to do so.
Most of the preparatory companies including ours offer a free trial. You can use that period and see if our course fits your needs.
Also, if you are talking about reading a novel, that might not help as you need to focus on certain fundamentals to score well on the GMAT.
When are you planning to retake the test?
