Hello fellow warriors!
I need your help for my GMAT preparation. I studied Verbal for past 1.5 weeks, because my quant score on the mocks was coming out to be 48 with verbal score of 35. Yesterday I gave a verbal quiz with pretty decent accuracy. Today I decided to give a quant quiz, and got 38% accuracy on quant. Can anyone suggest a strategy to work on both verbal and quant at the same time, so that in the quest of improving one I don't lose the grasp of the other? Best strategy will get a kudos.
Happy Studying!

Hi NavjotSingh,
Regarding how to study both quant and verbal, a great way to structure your study plan is to alternate between the two. Depending on how long you have to study, you may find it helpful to study both quant and verbal on the same day or to study each separately on alternating days. The key is not to go days, weeks, or even months studying just quant or just verbal. Going down that path can cause a “seesaw” effect. In other words, if you focus just on quant for a long period of time, your verbal skills suffer, and if you focus just on verbal for a long period of time, your quant skills suffer. As long as you can find an appropriate balance between your quant and verbal prep, this mistake is easily avoidable. I realize that this balance will depend largely on how much quant help you need versus how much verbal help you need, so just find a balance that makes sense for you. Assuming that you need an equal amount of verbal and quant prep, here are a few scenarios for how you could structure your studying.
Let’s say, for example, that you have 4 hours to study on a particular day. A great plan would be to study quant for 2 hours during your first study session, take a break, and finish up with 2 hours of verbal study. However, let’s say that you have only 1 hour to study on a particular day. In that case, you may find it helpful to study 1 hour of just verbal or 1 hour of just quant. Just be sure that the next time you study, you begin with the topic that you were unable to cover the previous day. These are just a couple of scenarios, but you get the point.
Keep in mind that there are other ways to keep up with your quant or verbal prep on days when you study only one section. For example, let’s say that you study verbal for an hour or two on a particular day, but you don't have any time to actually sit down and study quant. In that case, there is no harm in grabbing your quant flash cards and doing 15 to 20 minutes of quant review just to keep things fresh.

Hi Navjot,
There are a variety of factors that can impact how you perform on a set of practice questions, a quiz or a full-length CAT test, so have you had a chance to review your recent performance? To start, how many questions did you get wrong because of little mistakes vs. the number you got wrong because you did not know how to answer the question? What was the subject matter and difficulty level of the material?
Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
