Hi guys,
Would you please explain me who and especially how a tutor/course could assist me with my goal to reach a score of at least 600 within the next two weeks? I need a massive boost in quant (explained in more detail here: first-try-after-around-2-months-460-of-660-what-next-170851.html#p1361044 ).
From my current point of view, only practice by my own can take me there due to the fact that I almost always get the theory behind the questions quite quick, at least with some help from the gmat quantum videos. Is there any real big area which could be best improved by a course/tutor, when you are no longer in a position where you need to get more explanation behind the theory?
In case you think there would be a real benefit I am happy to take this chance.
With kind regards,
holdem

Hi holdem,
If you are able to understand the material well on your own, you may not need a tutor, but a tutor can certainly be helpful in spotting things about your performance that you have difficulty seeing yourself. Sometimes the way forward is not through increased understanding of the material but through a more efficient process.
What kind of improvement are you trying to get in 2 weeks? (The link you provided seems to take me to my own profile.) Any "massive" improvement is hard to make happen in that time frame, even with a tutor.

Hi Dmitry,
Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately I couldn't make the link work, probably because I didn’t reach the minimum amount of total posts required, to post a link. Anyway, I just explain it in short again and here is the link anyway first-try-after-around-2-months-460-of-660-what-next-170851.html#p1361044 :
Currently I am at 43rd percentile in verbal which I got twice in a row on the official GMAC preparation exams, almost without practice (this should be somewhere around 550). I can improve in this area just by increasing my SC skills, I am too hasty sometimes and therefore make avoidable mistakes. I already worked through the MGMAT Sc Bible and prepared study material.
Between the first and the second practice exam (within 10 days) I improved by 20 points overall, just with one day of practice in quant (I also finished 15 minutes earlier, because when the easy questions started, I was totally down and just thought I screwed up again). In the last weeks I prepared all the formulas and theories, I already know almost all squares and other tools (like results of even/odd’s addition and so on) which are required as a basis. Due to the fact, that I already did all the official guide questions, my error log contains a lot of them and I can track my progress. But of course, I need a lot more than a result in the 22nd percentile in quant to score an overall of around 600.
And that’s basically the question. Scoring a 600 will be hard work of course (fortunately I have plenty of time during the last days), but I am totally committed to do everything required. Therefore I also considered a tutor, but I don’t know if I need one, or if my plan is even possible, probably I also missed something important?
