Hi,
need help and direction
I have been preparing for gmat since nov 11, now i have my gmat scheduled on 15th feb.
I have taken 4 mgmat tests , my break ups have been Quant - 43, 44,43,44 and Verbal 28-31,32,29
I am really stuck at this 620 level for the last one month almost.... dont know seriously what to do ????
Some more points
1) i did OG with mgmat archer , my accuracy for SC was 70%, for CR - 72% and for RC - 60%, all within the time limits, for Quant the accuracy was 80% within time limit rather less than the required average time.
2) in kaplan Q bank, my accuracy for SC is 75% in SC, and around 75% in Quant.
3) when i do problems of same time , my accuracy is very high, the moment i take test.. i make silly mistakes in simple Q also.
In terms of verbal , my accuracy in CR varied for the first two tests.
I have exactly 22 days left now,,, i really fail to decide what to do ???, to revise basics again... to practice... to take test ???
i do have 4 hours in a day to study.... please suggest

struggle2win, I understand your pain. Since you have less than a month left, I would suggest you to concentrate on verbal to improve your overall score drastically.
For more info refer https://www.gmatpill.com/the-gmat-pill-method/how-to-ace-gmat/. In this free pdf, GMAT pill tutor explains how very minor change in verbal score can result in major change in overall score.
I dont see mention of Manhattan SC book in your post. Please go though that, try getting 80-85% accuracy in SC. Same is true about CR. Refer CR bible or Mgamat CR book. Refer https://gmatclub.com/forum/study-plan-for-verbal-gmat-98342.html#p757714for further details.
For me RC is problem area. I score 100% on RC if its related to any kind of science or history. If its about arts and economics, I go down to 70%. Find your problem area. Even though you get 1 difficult RC, you can still score great on verbal.
hope this helps! good luck!

Thanks for the mention, piyatiwari.
That's right, you're not going to see any movement in your score if you don't improve your verbal score. The verbal is much more sensitive to your score than several more correct on your quant section.
I would identify what section you're stuck on (even sections you're at 90% at, you should try to get to 100%) and seek advice on how to better strategically approach those questions. Randomize all your past test questions and answer them out of order - test yourself on speed and efficiency.
