Hi!
After preparing a lot, I could manage only 640, Quant-48, Verbal-30. I need to score 700+ because other factors in my application such as GPA(which is low), work experience which is only about 3 years and that to in a non-managerial position. The major problem in the verbal section was speed and consecutive mistakes towards the end. For me the problem area is RC.
I have practiced from LSAT content, but I feel that the GMAT questions are a bit different and need different skills.
Please help me as to how I can score 700+.
Regards
Hi Bounce1987,
Your score demonstrates a lack on understanding of fundamentals. I would recommend you to dig deep and 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.
Quants: Again try to break the questions in topics such as Algebra, Number system (very important), Geometry, PnC etc.
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.
Make sure you complete all of the OG and the Verbal review and if required, you can buy the Question pack1 from mba.com
