Hi guys,
So basically I have 20 days to complete the GMAT prep. This is due to the application deadline for the college.
I have just started with the diagnostic test using official test 1 and got a 725.
I am aiming for a 775 or above.
Currently I have taken a break from work so have 20 full days where I can spend 8+ hours each day.
My section wise scores/ percentiles were :
Quant : 90/ 100th
DI : 84/ 98th
Verbal : 84 / 91st

What should be my strategy here?
I am thinking about mostly brushing up and keeping in touch with Quant.
Practicing DI more and,
Giving heavy focus on Verbal.
I would love to hear recommendation about this and how can I approach the same.

Hi ragnrok,

Great start so far! To improve further, I suggest engaging in topical practice. Let's use quant as an example.

For example, let’s say you want to practice Number Properties. You can do so by answering 50 or more questions just from Number Properties: LCM, GCF, units digit patterns, divisibility, remainders, etc.

After each problem set, it's crucial to delve into the questions you answered incorrectly.

For instance, if you stumbled on a remainder question, take a moment to reflect. Was it a careless error? Did you fail to apply the remainder formula correctly? Was there a concept in the question that eluded you? This analysis is key to your learning process.

By carefully analyzing your mistakes, you will be able to fix your weaknesses efficiently and, in turn, improve your GMAT quant skills. Number Properties is just one example; follow this process for all quant, verbal, and DI topics.

Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Good luck!
