How to improve in 1 week of time.

Question

I have just scored 590 in Manhattan free cat. Q44 v29. I have prepared a lot but I am not gaining my score. I only have 9 days for my gmat exam. I want to score 650+. 
Quant : basics are good.
Sc : 80% good
Cr : 40% good
RC : 40% good.

Should I focus on quant? Or verbal?

Please help.

You'll need to improve verbal and do slightly better in quant.

Start doing RC aim for 5 a day. Understand how to get the right answers, it's basically by knowing the wrong answer types.

Quant try and avoid silly mistakes. At a 44 you've probably covered the basics. You might have left out 1 or 2 topics try covering them if you have.

Thank you for your reply,

in quant I have to do probability and geometry properly.

In verbal, I think exam anxiety is paying its role properly, some RCs I get all correct and in some all wrong. 
I am doing OG for verbal. Should I go to other materials?? If yes then which material??

oldmonkey · Answer

For probability and CR both Veritas books helped me tons. You can also see a lot of videos online for combinatorics. They will be helpful in getting the objectivity the topic requires.

To get rid of your anxiety you can attempt 600 level questions of CR on this forum without timer. Do it till you start getting accurate to about 9 out of 10. Then try timing your self. You'll gain confidence pretty soon this way.

I read all the basics for quant ( Manhattan books ) 4 to 5 times, I was specially v bad at word problems, so I solved too many problems from gmat club app. For SC I read Aristotle and Manhattan books, for CR I read bible, for RC I read many tricks online. Although I am not good at verbal but I was worst.

Main point I tried to focus more while practicing.
