Study plan for 530 -> 600 29 Dec 2018, 14:38

Hey guys,

Lately I took my first GMAT and ended on 530, scoring 28 for quantitative and 34 for verbal, which means I was in the 71st percentile for verbal and in the 15th percentile for quantitative. On mock CAT's (GMATPrep) I scored about the same for verbal as on the actual GMAT, however my quant was around 4 points lower.

My goal is to reach at least 600+, so I think the main point I should focus on is quantitative, since the percentile there was a lot lower than on verbal.

Do you guys have any tips for a study plan to improve my quant? I have to deliver a sufficient score before the 15th of july 2019, so I have quite some time left.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Levihamerslag,

You can try out the TTP course as it is phenomenal and covers the entire syllabus really well. Plus it has great reviews on GMATCLUB. I must add that if you are particularly looking to discover and improve on your weak areas in Quant; a subscription to GMATCLUB tests is the best way to do that. They are indeed phenomenal and will not only pinpoint your weak areas but also help you improve on them.

Further taking multiple mocks might help. Apart from the GMATPREP, Manhattan GMAT tests and Veritas Prep Tests in my experience have good verbal and Quant section and will certainly help you point out and improve your weak areas.

Further another advantage of taking many mocks is to build up your stamina. Apart from the GMATPREP tests, taking practice tests of any major GMATPREP company ought to do that.

Lastly I would also encourage you to purchase the latest version of OG and the Quant review for some great additional practice. Here is a link that will help you with your decision.

Hope this helps. All the best.
