Test in less than a month

Question

I've my exam in exactly 3 weeks from today. Over the last couple of months, I went through the material in all of the 8 MGMAT guides. I also completed the practice questions in OG12 and Verbal Review. I recently took the GMAT prep practice test and scored 750 (Q50, V 41) on it. I plan to take the 6 MGMAT tests over the next two weeks. Any thing else I could do in addition to the MGMAT test to improve/maintain my score? Any other source of official GMAT questions that I can practice from? I'm looking to score 750+ on the real test.

I heard the GMAT club will do. Did you do the Advanced MGMAT?

bschool2014 · Answer

Are you suggesting the GMAT club quant tests? My problem seems to be quant. In the MGMAT quant, I've consistently scored 48, but haven't been able to breach it.

bschool2014 -- I am at Q45, less than what you have, and I am about to start with the new Manhattan Advanced Quant.

They released it at the end of May, not sure if that will help.

In any case, I was wondering, in the quant section of the OG, what is your accuracy % in problem solving and data sufficiency? What % did you get right?

bschool2014 · Answer

My accuracy in the quant section of the OG was pretty high. If I remember correct, it was more than 90%. But then OG 12 problems seem a lot easier than the quant section in the MGMAT CAT. I spent the later part of last week and the beginning of this week going through the material in the MGMAT quant books. I skipped through some of it initially and used that time to focus on verbal - SC mostly - instead. I'm going to take a test today to see where I stand. The problem with the MGMAT quant is I feel so beaten down after that I don't feel motivated to complete the verbal section

My V39 score from the previous test is a result of the quant section. Looking at the test results later, I found that I had made silly errors in CR and SC

GMAT club quant is pretty tough, give it a whirl

I've under 3 weeks to go. Should I try the GMAT Club tests at this point? I took another MGMAT CAT today and scored Q48. My greater concern is I run of time and feel very rushed at the end.

I have yet to take the GMAT.

I think you should spend the last few weeks focusing only on Standard Questions. Take the rest of the remaining mock tests. Retake GMATprep 2-3 times till you have sucked out every single question. Then use the GMATPrep Documents floating on the forum. Make sure you work through every single question in those documents, looking at the explanations on MGMAT forums. That itself will take a lot of time!

P.S. I hope you are taking the mocks with AWA section.

Wow. I am getting 85% in the OG, and I haven't even finished the last 60 questions! If I want a Q48 it will be very tough, I need to get more than 90%, like you. But I am probably going to do the GMAT Manhattan Advanced first before I go ahead with the last 50 or so questions in the OG.

What about your accuracy in OG 12 Verbal? Man, V45 is sick. I am in the 80% too.

I am very interested in your situation. Update us ok! I have a very good feeling you'll get 750 and above. MGMAT math is a lot harder than the real thing. Good practice for us.

bschool2014 · Answer

@akhilesh - Thanks! I think I'll stick to officially questions till the test. Can you point me to the GMATPrep doc you mentioned?

@gablaze - My accuracy in the OG verbal was very dependent on the section. In SC, for example, I never crossed 85%; on some days it was as low as 60%. My RC accuracy in OG 12 was quite high. If I remember correct, I got around 5 questions wrong in OG12 RC. CR has been a mixed bag. I would rate it around 90-92%. I'll post an update after my exam. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a 750+

btw, when is your exam?

bschool2014 -
Good luck on your exam. I just want to caution you that you seem to be looking for more source of questions to practice and practice. Yes that can be helpful. But throughout the forum you'll see some students who felt they did well on practice tests such as the MGMAT tests, but then they actually score lower on the real exam.

I would encourage you start thinking about improving "thinking process" rather than "practice makes perfect." GMATPill focuses on thinking process communicated thru video - and if you ever feel you are reaching a "ceiling" in terms of progress, I encourage you to check it out.

If you are aiming for 750+, you can't be scoring 90%ile. You'll need to reach close to 95-100% accuracy.
