Replaying what happened as you look over your score report of your recent exam could be helpful. Perhaps you recall some questions you thought you got correct (i.e. Q1) but potentially made a careless error on. Leveraging your error-log to see which types of questions/subtopics you may find slippery could also be helpful. For CR, consider checking out Manhattan-Prep's 6th Edition for Critical Reasoning. For RC, becoming familiar with how inference questions work could also be helpful.

­Feeling really discouraged right now. I am applying to deferred MBA programs and my last test date will be April 20. I have TTP and OG question banks. I'm unsure how to go about this now, any study tips???
­Well I think you there is no easy shortcut to get a good score. So take the next attempt with a positive mind. Don't feel discouraged you have a good score in you, you just have to bring it on test day. Sometimes you also have to step back from what you want to understand what is blocking you from your goal.

Given the amount of time you have I would only focus on arithmetic and algebra to make sure you are not making any score killing silly errors. So there may be value in analyzing the errors you are making and which ones are conceptual gaps and which ones are just sloppy mistakes, sloppy mistakes will kill your score it is a very adaptive but also dumb algorithm in a way where if you do the hardest question right but an easy one wrong you will still score lower.

Good luck and feel encouraged you are lucky that you are writing the GMAT. You will make it.

Thanks,

 
­Hi, 

You can read the blog https://ivycrackers.com/a-step-by-step-guide-to-gre-success/.
We have highlighted how you can identify your weak areas and convert them into your strengths. Since you have taken the test recently, you would already be aware of the weak areas and hence, the detailed study plan (in the blog) can help you big time.

This is what I used, a few years back, to get a 750 on GMAT.
