I've heard that Mocks 3-6 are generally harder and more like exam, but any hope for me getting a 650/what should I focus on?

Hi MP02170,

So, the good news is that you are in a pretty nice spot!

That said, you do need to continue to find your holes and fix those to help improve your score. Thus, engaging in topical practice is a great way to do so. 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!

Consider including/sharing some of the issues or types of questions you find challenging. For RC, for example, becoming familiar with how inference questions work may help a bit. In case you find it takes a bit of time to warm up when taking a mock, doing a few questions beforehand may also be helpful.

I would suggest being able to get those initial question right first since those qs would help you push to the higher difficulty levels to get a better percentile

Focus on which section/topic is bringing you down and try to review them,

Try analysing the gaps by going through the topics answered incorrectly in mocks and do sectional practices regularly so that you get to know other gaps as well since a single mock do not cover questions from all topics at different difficulty level
