Hi everyone,
Not sure if this is the right place to post this - I'm new to GMATclub. (Let me know if this is the wrong forum, I will re-post it in the right place).
I wanted to seek advice on which materials I should use to improve my GMAT score to 700+ in one month - I am retaking the GMAT in late Jan (so four weeks left!!)
Some background info:
- Started preparing two weeks ago, after toying with the idea of taking the GMAT since 2021 and years of procrastination, mostly spurred on by the fact that the classic GMAT will be gone forever.
- Took the two official online practice tests from GMAC - End of week 1 - Mock 1 700 (49Q, 38V, 7IR), End of week 2 - Mock 2 680 (44Q, 38V, 8 IR)
- Ensured that the mocks were done in the most realistic way possible.
- The first mock was a diagnostic, took after i did half the PS questions from the OG general (started from the front, did not know that they were ordered according to difficulty

)
- Spent week 2 focusing on verbal only by practicing sentence corrections from the OG (from Mock 1 I had 7 SC questions wrong)
- Went to do the a first run of the real GMAT yesterday (set up a real hard deadline to motivate myself) - got the exactly the same as my Mock 2 - 680 (44Q, 38V, 8 IR) Idk AWA yet.
- During the real GMAT exam, I felt myself panicking and running out of time during the Quant section as I spent too much time trying to remember the ratio for the 30-60-90 triangle.
Upon reflection, I realize that just simply practicing questions from the OG is probably not going to help my score - My quant score is dropping(!!) and my verbal score remains at 38 throughout despite practicing.
Wanted to get some tips on how I could improve my verbal score and also help improve my quant score as well as ideas for how to get to a 700+ score.
Thanks everyone in advance and happy holidays!
