Hello experts,
Scored 730 (Q51, V37) on my GMAT today. Target was 750+
I plan to retake GMAT again in 15 days (highly represented background and so need a better score to target HBS/Wharton) and needed help with study plan and resources.
Used OG and Quant+Verbal review. Also took 4 official practice tests (scored 670,720,770,780). The last two scores were encouraging and so I felt confident to give the test. Unfortunately I spent a lot of time (5-7 mins) on a SC question which derailed my verbal section. Had to just skim through last 3-4 questions. Pretty sure got all of them wrong. Either ways, feel confident on RC and CR. Need to work really hard on SC. Don't need to work on Quant.
Can you please help with a 15 day plan/strategy? Also, can you please also share other resources (along with tests) which I can use? Surely need to work on time management. I found the GMATNinja Youtube videos on SC amazing (but watched them only 3 days before the exam) and want to build on that approach.
Thanks and Regards

For SC, it's important to nail down the elimination process. Right now your focus should be to build on your SC ability and to maintain momentum in other areas. I recommend using isolated SC practice on GMAT Club, one topic at a time. That way you might be able to identify weak areas such as parallelism, modifiers etc. Use official questions only, if you've run out of questions from the latest OG, I recommend digging out questions from older OGs.

For Verbal, time management will be helpful for the 4th Quarter and some solving approach learning can be useful, too. See if you can improve the way you tackle the questions. This can include even the way you read through a passage.
How to get a V40 or higher on the GMAT? What about a V51?
