Hey, I have 21 days left. I'm getting good at SC and CR.. But somehow RC is making me loose those extra marks due to time constraints. Any book you could advise to improve my RC strategy?
Also,in quants, I'm finding difficulty with inequalities and probability. I've completed Nova twice. The problem with quants is, I'm finding it hard to spot the strategy when a tricky question comes, though I could understand strategy when I check the answer. I have recently scored a 570 in veritas prep. I am aiming for not more than 640. You think I have a chance here ?
Dear creatorMG,
I'm happy to respond. :-)

I going to give you the very obvious and unappealing piece of advice. In order to improve GMAT RC, the very best thing you can do is to READ. Since you have only 21 days left, you should make a priority of reading as much as you can each day, pushing yourself to read hard, challenging material. See:
How to Improve Your GMAT Verbal Score
I would suggest 90 minutes of challenging reading every day, over and above any GMAT preparations you are doing. Also, read this blog carefully:
[urlhttps://magoosh.com/gmat/2012/curiosity-the-secret-sauce-of-gmat-reading-comprehension-success/]Curiosity: The “Secret Sauce” of GMAT Reading Comprehension Success[/url]

For harder math problems, you may find this blog helpful:
How to do GMAT Math Faster

To be honest, few students see a huge increase from practice tests to the real GMAT. In fact, many students see a drop. See:
Lower on the Real GMAT than on Practice Tests
Read that article and the linked articles carefully. You can avoid this fate if you practice stress-reduction skills.

Please let me know if you have any questions about anything in those articles.

Hey there, I took veritas prep tests a while ago and I wanted you to refer the following link before coming to any conclusion:

manhattan-cats-vs-kaplan-cats-vs-veritas-cats-a-360-view-210716.html#p1622031

Please trust on GMAT prep scores rather than any other stuff. Veritas prep questions are great but I think their algo is a bit off. Your mileage may vary.

Good luck.
