Hi !
So, i gave my gmat yesterday and scored 620. I was shocked by the score. I wasn't expecting this low score. I have been studying for over 3/4 months.
As, i'm aiming for good colleges i am going to give it again in september . But, i'm clueless as to from where should i begin and where should i end ! i don't know how to interpret my results . I have a very rough idea about my weaknesses but somehoe i feel there is a missing piece to this puzzle that i'm not getting correct.
Hence, i wanted to share with you my study plan and my test results hoping that you can guide me further.
Study material -
1.SC : a) e-gmat b)Manhattan SC c)Artistotle
2. CR : a)CR Bible b)e-gmat practice
3.RC

4.PS and DS : only from gmatclub test series

I would really appreciate if you could help me understand these scores and how should i proceed to get 700+.
I'm willing to work hard but i don't know in which direction i should work to get the desirable results.
I could really use some help here !
Thanks for your continued support. Looking forward to your reply.

Hi
Sorry for the late reply. Hope you are doing good.
You need to build the concepts/fundamentals before you jump in solving the problems. You can do so by choosing one of the following ways:
1. In person classes/private tutoring
2. Online classes
3. Self paced online preparatory course
4. Book heavy approach
Whatever you choose, make sure that you choose one. Because GMAT tests you on some concepts and fundamentals that you can learn from a course. Most of the preparatory companies including ours offer a free trial of our course. You can take the trial and see if the course suits your needs.
In addition to the preparatory material, buy the Official Guides(both the Official Guide and the Verbal Review), Question Pack 1 and the 4 official mock CATs. They should be an indispensable part of your preparation.
You need close to 3 months to prepare well for the GMAT.
1. Understand the concepts and fundamentals before jumping into problem solving
2. Solve full length CATs including AWA and IR. You can get two free GMAT Prep mock CATs and can purchase two more from mba.com
3. Make sure you solve the official questions from the Official Guide
Try to drill down deep into each problem type to understand your pain areas
SC: The questions test various concepts such as S-V agreement, modifiers, parallelism etc. Find out what troubles you.
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.
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.

Hi,
I am sorry to hear about your score. However, I can make out your agony.
Never loose hope and keep the spirit high.
I could see from your post that you have gone through the best material and concepts might not be an issue in your case.
Nevertheless, I did not see you doing OG 2016 for Maths & Verbal.
Redefine your strategy and try to work out with OG for at least, a couple of times. Do spend time analyzing your answers.
If I were you, the following would be my plan:-
1. Revise all the concepts that I learnt from MGMAT, E-GMAT, etc.
2. Practice Maths Club tests from GMAT club tests(here) - trust me the level of Maths Club tests in GMAT Club is very high. (Take one test per day till exam or in equal intervals of time)
3. Practice English from OG 2016. (Will complete it twice.) (I hope OG 2017 is out)
4. Take English tests from E-GMAT course.(Regular intervals of time)
5. Take Full length mock tests from top sources, one test per week.
This would be my brief plan.
Follow this routine and there is high probability of achieving a 700+.
Kudos pls.....if this helped
Cheers,
Harry
