Hi,
I took my first official GMAT attempt on 23 Nov 2024, and scored a 595 (Q82, V81, DI76).
My section order was Quant, Verbal - Break - and then Data Insights. For this first attempt, I mostly used free internet sources, such as YouTube and GMATClub. For my second attempt, I have purchased a self-paced course. The content is a lot to go through but I am trying my best to improve in as many areas as possible. I have 1 week until my second attempt (7 days precisely).
I am reaching out to gather some insights on how I can interpret my ESR from my first attempt to judiciously use the one week I have left for my prep. I have already tried to do so and been studying accordingly but any more insights would be helpful. In this one week, I still have to work on my Data Insights section as I have mostly been doing Verbal and Quant until now. For CR, there are clearly some areas like Plan/Construct where I seem to falter based on my ESR. What type of questions should I attempt to improve these? Similarly for Equal/Unequal/ALG on Quant, and MSR and TPA on DI.
Any insights from GMAT experts would be very helpful in this last leg. Here are the stats:

Hi MBhavya,
I see your GMAT is tomorrow. Hopefully, you are starting to dial down your prep as you gear up for tomorrow. Let us know how things go.
Good luck!

Hi Scott,
I didn't get my preferred date so will be taking the GMAT exam on 26 December. In the meantime, I'm also taking the IELTS, which is scheduled for tomorrow (23 Dec). The Round 2 deadline pressure is real! Thanks for your kind wishes.
