Hi,
I took my GMAT and scored 620 ( Q-45, V 30 ).
I started preparing around mid dec, i have a very demanding work schedule. I want to reach to the mark of 700+, please give your inputs. I will give some additional details
1) I am very weak at geometry and DS ( overall ) , and probably could not give enough time to prepare for geometry and co-ordinate geometry. ( unfortunately i got 3 Qs on co-ordinate geometry
)
2) I am ok with PS except topics like combinations, probability, series etc.
My accuracy with OG - PS - Quant 2 is 70% Advanced Level and 80% for General level Q ( the bifurcation of general and advanced is as per the OG archer of manhattan )
My accuracy with OG - DS - Quant 2 is 65% for advanced Qs and 80% for general Qs ( bifrurcation of general and advanced as per OG archer of manhattan )
3) I am ok at SC except a few different types of Qs e.g. long sentences with modifiers etc., my accuracy at SC is 67% for SC in OG + Verbal 2.
4) My accuracy with CR ( OG + verbal 2 ) is around 65%.
5) My accuracy with RC is 60% only , my biggest weakness here is inference Qs with only 45% accuracy.
My scores for Mgmat ( 1 to 5 ) were from 620 to 640 ( Q 43/44 and V 28-32 ), my score with knewton ( 1-5 ) were from 560-590 ( v - 28-30, and Q 40-41).
In terms of resources, i used mgmat for conceptual understanding and tests, kaplan Q banks and grockit for practice, and obviously OG.
Please give me suggestions with respect to
1) Resources to tackle advanced level of Qs. ( i have bought advance quant from mgmat now )
2) How to plan for next two months, since i am planning to take my gmat by april end now
3) Any other observation, if you feel can give me better direction.
4) How to improve my weak areas specially geometry, combinations, proba etc. ( in terms of approach of study )
5) Inputs on what to do since i have utilized all OG resources, MGMAT tests and even kaplan Q bank
Please help, thanks in advance.

Hi wayahead123,
First i will help you with your queries ,
Please give me suggestions with respect to
1) Resources to tackle advanced level of Qs. ( i have bought advance quant from mgmat now )
You have already taken the first step by purchasing the advance quant from mgmat . Along with this you should also use 1000 questions series and solve each question . The aim should be to learn new techniques and reduce your timing . Moreover as you are weak in the Geometry and DS questions ,put special emphasis on these topics. I will also be requesting you to share the advance quant soft copy with me as i am also on the lookout for the same.
2) How to plan for next two months, since i am planning to take my gmat by april end now
Here i have found someone with whom i can share my study plans and strategies for the next 2 months. I gave gmat in nov and scored 660 (45 Q and 37 V) . as you have already given the test and are aware of your weaknesses ,you can prepare better this time by strengthening the weak links. You should give maximum number of tests as they will help in building the reqd stamina for the main test. Go through the MGMAT books once again and read fiction/non fiction books to improve your sc performance.
I will also be giving the test in april and will feel great to help you during this journey . +1 kudos from my side Buddy.

If I were you, I would pull up that Verbal.
Given your Q score, you stand to make the biggest gains in the overall score from your verbal. Focus on SC because they make up the the greatest proportion of the exam. I'm an advocate of MGMAT SC and CR.
On my diags, ny V was a 36 before I started with MGMAT. After SC it was at 43 and after CR it went to 46. My Q didn't change but the overall score went from 690 to 720 to 740.
I would concentrate on getting 40+ on V before turning my attention to Q and moving that up to the high 40s.
