Hey everyone,
I've been studying for the GMAT since June of last year, and I recently took my first mock exam three weeks ago. I received a score of 590 (Q41, V31). I felt incredibly discouraged, especially considering the amount of effort and dedication I put into studying over the past year. After analyzing my performance, I realized that I made a few careless mistakes in both the verbal and quantitative sections. I spent around 900-1000 hours completing TTP (Target Test Prep). For the verbal section, my V31 score is distributed as follows: Sentence Correction (SC) - 55%, Reading Comprehension (RC) - 55%, and Critical Reasoning (CR) - 80%.
Currently, I am using the OG (Official Guide) and have completed over 20% of it. My accuracy rates are as follows: easy questions at 85%, medium at 61%, and hard at 56%. I meticulously review each mistake I make and maintain an error log to track them. Additionally, my daily goal is to solve and review approximately 30-40 questions, with a focus on Sentence Correction (SC), Quantitative (Quant), and Reading Comprehension (RC) sections. Currently, I am working on improving my accuracy for hard SC questions, which ranges between 60-70%.
My target score is 730, and my initial plan was to achieve this score before the Round 1 applications. However, I am uncertain if it would be possible to make such a significant improvement within that timeframe. My current plan involves completing the OG and then creating customized OG quizzes on GMAT Club to target my weaknesses. I will also watch all the GMAT Ninja video series.
I would appreciate any additional advice or recommendations on what else I can do to improve.

Hi Frisak.
To score 730+, you need to get about 75% of medium and hard Quant questions correct and 80% of medium and hard Verbal questions correct when you take the GMAT.
So, your practice accuracies for Quant and Verbal need to be something along the lines of the following:
Quant:
E - 90%
M - 80%
H - 70%
Verbal:
E - close to 100%
M - 90%+
H - 70%+
So, you may need to spend more time on each practice question to increase your accuracy before you seek to answer questions at test pace.

Have suggested Manhattan-Prep's 6th Edition for SC and CR. For RC, becoming familiar with how INFERENCE questions work could be helpful as well. May be worth checking the different score combos that can potentially hit 730+.
