Hi Prak0709,

A great way to move forward with your prep is with topical learning and practice. In other words, focus on just ONE topic at a time and practice that topic until you achieve mastery.

For instance, let's consider your study of Number Properties. First, immerse yourself in all aspects (formulas, properties, techniques and strategies) of this topic, and then, focus solely on Number Property questions. After each problem set, take the time to delve into your incorrect answers. This self-reflection is a powerful tool that allows you to understand your learning process and make significant improvements. For instance, if you made a mistake in a remainder question, ask yourself why. Was it a careless error? Did you not apply the remainder formula correctly? Was there a concept in the question that you didn't grasp?

By meticulously analyzing your mistakes, you will efficiently address your weaknesses and, consequently, enhance your GMAT quant skills. This process has been unequivocally proven to be effective. Number Properties is just one example; be sure to follow this process for all GMAT topics.

Feel free to reach out with additional questions.

Good luck!

I have booked my slot for November 8. Can you give a detailed plan on how to prepare. My DI has been the weakest so far.

Hi Prak0709,

This is completely normal. When you focus heavily on one area for a while, it's common for other areas to start slipping a bit. With just a few days left before your test, I’d recommend rotating subjects every other day to keep all concepts fresh. For example, alternate between Quant, Verbal and DI so no section feels too distant or neglected. Practice questions up to the 655 level and aim for higher accuracy, especially in the topics where you feel a bit less confident.

For example in Verbal, try to split your focus as well, work on CR one day and RC the next. This way, you won’t feel a big gap between when you last practiced each area. This phase of prep is especially important after completing a course, since you've likely covered a wide range of fundamentals over time, and some of that can fade without consistent review.

When you practice, try to do mixed sets within a section. That will help keep multiple concepts active in your mind and better prepare you for the real test. Also, start attempting one or two mocks each week to build the stamina for sitting through the full 2.5-hour exam and performing at your best.

I’ve also written a detailed guide on improving in DI here: https://gmatclub.com/forum/how-to-improve-score-in-di-435678.html

Though it’s more of a long-term plan, in your case it may be more helpful to focus on section-specific test strategies. Try sharpening your awareness of small traps that appear when you’re dealing with large amounts of data. The key is to actively practice these techniques during your sessions so they become second nature by test day.
