At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Went in cold, completed it untimed: (Would really appreciate any replies with advice on improving PS and RC scores/tips & tricks for someone just beginning the GMAT studying process!!))
Problem Solving: 15/24
Data Sufficiency: 21/24
Reading Comp: 12/17
Critical Reasoning: 12/17
Sentence Correction: 18/18
I felt like a handful of the Problem Solving answers I missed were just because I didn't know some important definitions/easy tricks which I'm hoping to start grinding in the next couple of days. Definitely some major work to be done here.
Really surprised by how well I did on Data Sufficiency! Definitely was uncomfortable with the format at first but once I got in a rhythm I guess it started to click. I'll need to make sure that holds up once I start focusing more on timing... I also feel like there's a more methodological approach to answering these that I picked up on towards the end but would like to learn formally.
Reading Comp is gross, really don't enjoy reading the block of text and then trying to piece together the message. Didn't mind Critical Reasoning as much so I'm a bit surprised I scored the same on both of those. Really looking for strategies to stay focused during these sections.
Not really surprised by the sentence correction--didn't really do a double-take until the last question. I also completely went off of gut feeling (definitions of the errors were kind of drilled into me in high school such that I just know it's wrong when I see it) but I should probably keep running these until I find some question types that I'm less comfortable with. (Also assuming the actual GMAT questions are harder).

Hi jazzmilo,
Now that you're familiar with the various Quant and Verbal question types, it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can take 2 for free at www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses when working under testlike conditions and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.
I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich
