4th Oct. I require full support from the experts of this forum and help me achieve my Target score of 740 . Below is the details of my preparation and what I have finished

1. Completed all books og MGMAT ver 5.0
2. OG 13 Completed all questions. Except RC.
3. PS completed Quantan Ver 2.0

As I am a Engineer I have faith in Quant But I want to continue practice Gmat Quant on alternate days so that I remember every concept . Before moving on to Test series I want to finish and clear all my Concepts of Verbal and Quant. As I believe I am weak in Verbal .I request yo guide me so that I stick to a plan. I can devote 3:30 Hr daily for my preparation and more during the weekend. As I am on Leave for next 9 days till 27th I plan to finish all my pending topics and question from OG 11,12 and Ver 2.0 and Quant 2.0 and move to test series from 29th July.

Kindly quide me and provide your support in achieving my dream Goal of doing MBA for a TOP B school

You should take a test asap since you have already covered a lot of material. The test will help you identify the topics in which you are weak - such as parallelism/modifiers/inference questions/assumption questions etc. Then, you should review the topics you identify. Use other sources to take different perspectives into account since re-reading the same thing is not likely to give you a different result. We have posts covering most areas on our GMAT Verbal blog.

Hi kktrehan,

Krishna is right on here - before you proceed, take a full-length, timed practice exam to determine exactly where you need to improve over the next few weeks. Additionally, review this practice exam and keep an error log to determine if 1) you're having timing issues/rushing through certain questions 2) if you're struggling with entire concepts more than you realized 3) if there's a combination of both. You'll want to maximize the time you have before your exam, so it's important to focus your study plan on the areas you need the most growth in.

Best,
Rich

Hi KT,

Since you've been studying for some time now, have you taken ANY FULL-LENGTH CATs (including the Essay and IR section)? If so, then what were your scores. If not, then we have no way to properly measure your readiness to take the GMAT and no way to measure your progress thus far. As such, you should plan to take one soon (perhaps this weekend). You can download 2 CATs from www.mba.com; a FULL CAT takes about 4 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to do so in one sitting. With a Test Date in October, you still have plenty of time to study, but we need to make sure that you're focused on the proper areas.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hello KT,

I'm sorry to hear about your health issue and wish you a fast recovery. How long has it been since you took the last practice test? Practice tests are essential for monitoring your progress since you began your studies. They will also be a valuable tool for maximizing the efficiency of your studies until October.

Regards,

Janielle
