Need Help Regarding preparation of quant section

Question

Hello,

I am planning to take the Gmat in 2 months from now. I have spent around 2 months on the verbal section preparing from E-gmat's Verbal Live Prep course for non natives. I have been studying Quant only from the Official Guides. However, I havent found the difficulty level too high. Where should I study the quant section from ? Concepts and Practice both. Please tell me the least expensive op.tion. I got q45 on Gmat prep. Should I focus more on 700+ questions ? Please help.

Hi Gautam2493,

You mentioned that you scored a Q45 on the GMAT Prep CAT, but I have some additional questions about your overall CAT scores and your goals:

1) Have you taken any FULL-LENGTH CATs (including the Essay and IR sections)?
2) What were your scores on each of your CATS (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?

3) What is your score goal?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
5) Do you know which Schools you want to apply to?

Hi,

Yes I did take 1 full length CAT before starting off with my preparation. I skipped the AWA part and scored Q45 V28 IR8 . Overall 610. I am aiming for at least 710-720.
My priority is Indian colleges and will be applying by the end of this year. Currently, I am working as a Derivatives Trader in a proprietary trading firm from the past 6 months.

Hi Gautam2493,

That 610 was a solid first score (the average on the Official GMAT is right around 540-550 most years). Since you've been studying for some time, it would be worthwhile to take a FULL-LENGTH CAT (including the Essay and IR sections) so that we can get a sense of your current GMAT skills. Taking FULL CATs at regular intervals (1 CAT every 1-2 weeks) is also a good idea, as it allows you to identify 'problem areas' sooner and helps you to better train to face the FULL GMAT. Once you have your next set of scores, you should report back here. That data will help to pinpoint what you should focus on next.
