Tutor - Study Plan Tips

Question

I am looking for the best tutor. Which companies should I pick? Any suggestions? My score was very low and I did the gmat twice already

. When I did the mock tests i got mixed results scoring 460 the lowest and 640 the highest. When I did on exam day I felt it was harder than the questions I was practicing and less straight-forward. l I used for practice questions the OG; I bought also the powerscore CR bible and downloaded some Manhattan old version for SC. I feel really disappointed. My goal is to get a score at least above 650, 700 will be a blessing. Feel free to share any advice.

Did you take an ESR??

Course depends on your budget

I can say that it would be nice to start with the guides and kind of focus on understanding the concepts and then choose but you have to get your basics right

My score was so low that was useless. I bombed the exam. Feel I have to start from 0

Yeah, so start with GMAT guides. Do something known as active learning i.e. take a note book and write down everything that you can regarding what you learn, make notes and remember important stuff this will help with grasping concepts

Now maintain sc, cr, rc, quant notes that you can go through and start to solve questions based on difficulty. Get all the 500 level correct, then go for 600, then 700

I am sure you can do well

Regarding the material should I go for Manhattan prep? The exam was harder than the OG as I said previously, the questions were less straightforward

Hatakekakashi · Answer

you can begin with manhattan to understand all the concepts learnt by active learning

then you should try and give GMAT prep 1 to see where you stand

then you should again revise your weak areas and take mocks to be consistent

gmat club also has a ton of resources so definitely check those out

SC, CR, RC forums are available and you have all the concepts

Hi glrosano23,

It seems like you are struggling to get your prep right. I understand that preparing for GMAT in the right way has its own challenges. But, trust me, once you understand the right way to go about it and get the proper guidance, it becomes really easy. Let me help you here.

The 460-640 range indicates that you are having a few conceptual gaps in certain topics and at the same time you are majorly struggling with the application of concepts, which is the main thing that is tested on GMAT. So, your focus while preparing has to be 
 
 to learn the concepts of the topics first,  
 then learn the right methodology to solve questions of that topic

Only once you are done with the above two steps, you can dive into practicing questions of that topic. Once you learn the right methodology, the process of solving would be the same for all the questions regardless of the difficulty level.

How to choose the right course? 
Always choose a course which can help you with the application part along with the concepts. Because, the better your application skills are, the better your performance is going to be.  And one important aspect in the process of working on your weak areas is analyzing solutions. You need to analyze the solutions in depth to understand the exact step at which you are making the mistake . This is one of the most effective ways to learn the right methodology and to nullify your gaps. So, choose the course which can provide you with standard questions and their detailed solutions. All in all, make sure the course you choose provides you with the below factors.

Concepts 
 Methodology (Most important) 
 Standard questions 
 Their detailed solutions 
 Study plan (Makes the process more structured)

The best thing to do would be to check out the free trials of the online courses out there and choose the one which suits you the most. But make sure you choose the one which can help you with the above factors. You can check out the below article to know more about the factors to consider while evaluating an online course.

And I would suggest you to check out the free trial of GMATWhiz before taking a decision. It provides you with a  personalized study plan  which is integrated with the course and focuses on the application part.

Hello glrosano23,

The official GMAT exam tests the candidate’s ability to manage time, handle pressure, apply the learned concept, and score better. GMAT is not as easy as we assume. GMAT math is logic, rather than general math skill, and verbal is a real language test and a logic skill test of an individual.

Your current score is shaky!

Don't be disappointed. You can surely do better.
