Hi solitaryreaper,

If you're really planning to take the GMAT in about 1.5 months, then you're going to have to be really efficient with that time. This means that we'll need the most accurate 'data' that we can get at all points of this process. As such, I do suggest that you use one of the Official GMAT CATs to establish this next CAT score. There are a variety of other CATs that you can use in addition to the GMAC CATs, but we need specific information right now and the GMAC CATs should provide the best information available.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hi , solitaryreaper

The first thing to do is sit for a GMAT Prep CAT including he AWA and IR.
This would give your current standing. You can buy additional tests from mba.com

Once you have a baseline score in front of you, you can identify the specific areas which you need to focus on.
In the RC and CR sections too, you can further drill down.

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.

You have sufficient material and should go and revisit them again.

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.

Make sure you complete all of the OG and the Verbal review and if required, you can buy the Question pack1 from mba.com
ions.

Hey solitaryreaper,

Here is a customized one month study plan that can help boost your score: https://www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-t ... study-plan

Use this as a guideline. You don’t have to follow it exactly but the structure of the study plan should be the same structure that you take in your approach. This helps to optimize your retention and learning.

As you study, we recommend that you focus on one particular subsection for multiple consecutive days before moving onto the next. You can see this in our study plan where we recommend 5 days on nothing but SC -- before moving onto CR and then RC.

Here is a sample SC video to help you start your journey: https://www.gmatpill.com/sentencecorrect ... ythons.mp4

Best of luck- we are here to help.
