Hi team,
To give you a bit of background, I am a native English speaker. I have taken the test more than three times. Lastly, I have thirty days until my next exam. I have a general query in relation to my GMAT score and next steps. I scored V28 on my official exams with percentile split ranges of CR35-45%ile, RC 35%ile and SC80% - 85%ile.
I was hoping to understand the benefit of perhaps a targeted approach during these thirty days. For example, assuming that other scores stay roughly the same, if I can improve my CR percentile from 35%-ile to 65-75%, based on the ESR scores seen on this forum, I believe I would comfortably be 32-33? For example, I might allocate my time in the following way CR 60%, RC 30%, and 10% SC. Is there benefit from this? Or would you advise otherwise?
Further background information:
On my GMAT Official Prep exams I have scored anywhere in the range of 27-32 with anywhere from 9-13 questions wrong.
Generally 5/9 for CR, 6/12 for RC and 11/13 for SC
The questions wrong on CR have generally been rated medium difficulty or above and for RC generally 1 question that might be easy and the rest "medium".
Thanks again!

Hi kiwihaze111,
In another post, you stated that you had taken the GMAT 6 times, so before we discuss how you might best proceed with this next phase of your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) On what dates did you take each of your Official GMATs and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
2) How long have you studied in total? Over the last 3 months, how many hours did you typically study each week?
3) What study materials have you used so far?
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When is your exact next Test Date?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi kiwihaze111,

Studies:
1) Over a range of a year with Q38-44 and V23-28. With Verbal scores, in my last exam I scored 91st % ile in SC, 35th %ile in RC and 30th %ile in CR. My thinking is to focus on one whilst maintaining others e.g. sharpen up CR and maintain SC and RC.
2) A year. I have time to study up to 20 hours a week.
3) Manhattan Prep, eGMAT
Goals:
4) 650
5) 31 December
6) 3rd Round of European schools
7) European schools
