Hello,
I recently gave my OG Mock 2 after going through the concepts and OG review guides and scored,
625 Q85,V79,D79
Test order :
Quant-break-D-Verbal
My OG Mock 1 score was
595 Q82,V79,D77
Quant-verbal-break-DI
1) Exam stamina:
I feel completely exhausted when I take the third section, be it with/without break verbal or DI . I'm yet to figure out which test taking order will work out fine for me.
Any feedback/suggestions on increasing the full-exam stamina and test taking order would be helpful.
Sectional mocks I can far a bit better than full length mocks, especially in DI
2) Target 645-655
Currently with review guides, Advanced review guide and OG questions I'm practising everyday.
How can I improve my speed and accuracy in DI section mainly?
For verbal I'm already doing b2b 3 RCs everyday with timelimits and any further preparation feedback would be helpful
Also the OG guide materials and Advanced guide materials are the one I'm practising with.
Are they sufficient?
For sectional mocks I'm using GMAT club tests and experts global 15 mocks package.
3) Further suggestions to improve my score will be helpful

Hi Toddlerandgmat,
You're already doing quite well, and it feels like you're not too far from hitting your target score!
To answer your questions:
1. Stamina building comes with gradually increasing your sitting time. It doesn’t have to be a full mock every time. Even while practicing topics, try solving ~20 questions from a section in one go. Start by getting comfortable doing a single section without feeling drained. Once that feels manageable, stack two sections back-to-back, like 20 questions from Probability and 20 from Assumption. That step-by-step build-up can really boost your mental endurance.
2. For Verbal, official questions are more than enough. But if you do want additional practice, GMAT Classic mocks and LSAT questions (especially for CR) are solid. I’ve also put together a DI improvement guide with strategies you might find useful. If you have any specific queries, am happy to answer more.
3. Sharpening accuracy in Verbal and DI would be super important for you. Focus on spotting where you’re slipping on easy to medium questions and tweak your approach accordingly. Once you’re nailing those consistently, then level up to tougher questions. Also, if Quant feels easier for you, you might benefit from doing your tougher section (V or D) first, as that might help you approach it with a fresh mind rather than at the end when you’re mentally tired. There’s no one-size-fits-all strategy that guarantees a score jump and you’ll likely need to experiment a bit and find what feels natural and sustainable for you. Unless you’re aiming for a perfect 805, you have some flexibility to skip or guess on tougher questions and instead focus your full energy on getting the easier ones right. The key is to align your approach with your target score and be clear about what you can afford to let go of to reach that goal faster.
All the best with your prep!

Thanks hr1212 that's really helpful:)
Do you think only official resources are enough when it comes to DI practice as well?
Also once in how many days I need to take up full length mock and sectional mocks?
I have 2 months to the exam.
