Hello GMAT Club Team,

I am reaching out to seek your guidance regarding my GMAT preparation journey and to clarify the best path forward.

To provide some context: I dedicated approximately four months to preparing through e-GMAT and appeared for the GMAT in November 2025, where I scored 595. While I acknowledge the effort put in, I was not entirely satisfied with the result, as my target score is 655 or above. I have since resumed my preparation and have already registered for my next attempt, scheduled for 2nd July 2026.

In terms of my current standing, I am reasonably confident in Quantitative Reasoning. However, I recognize that I need significant improvement in Verbal and Data Insights (DI). In particular, Multi-Source Reasoning (MSR) within the DI section is an area where I feel I require more structured guidance.

Regarding my preparation approach, I recently joined a GMAT Club WhatsApp study group, which I have found to be extremely resourceful. The week-wise preparation plan and the free concept-learning materials shared there have been very helpful. Given this, I am inclined to invest in a GMAT Club Tests & QUIZ subscription, as I currently lack access to a quality practice platform with a strong question bank, including Official Guide (OG) questions. My plan would be to utilize the GMAT Club platform for practice while relying on the free resources available for concept building.

I would be grateful if you could advise me on the following:
1. Whether my overall approach and study strategy are on the right track.
2. Which specific GMAT Club subscription plan would best suit my needs — particularly one that allows sectional tests, custom practice sets, and full-length mock exams.

Thank you for your time and support. I am happy to connect further to discuss this in more detail.

Warm regards

Your approach makes sense. Just be sure that you continue to practice not only timed but also with flexible time to give yourself time to develop the skills that will eventually enable you to answer GMAT questions accurately and efficiently.

Also, using the streaks method is a great way to drive your score up into the 600s or 700s. To understand how to use the streaks method, see this post.

I agree with this. The streaks method has helped me a lot!Over time, I’ve noticed it builds both confidence and discipline.

Thank you, Marty! I really appreciate your advice on timed vs. flexible practice and will definitely check out the streaks method.

I did have a quick follow-up question regarding GMAT Club subscriptions:

1. Does the GMAT Club Quiz subscription (50K+ question bank) include Official Guide (OG) questions, or do those need to be purchased separately from official mba (GMAC) webiste?

2. Given my focus on improving Verbal and DI (especially MSR), would the Adaptive Quiz plan suffice, or would it be better to also invest in one of the Tests plans (Starter/Pro/Elite) for sectional and full-length mocks?

Would love your guidance on this before I make a decision. Thank you!

The quizzes do not include the OG questions, but the free question banks do.

I'm not super familiar with the differences between those offerings, but the adaptive quizzes may be sufficient and may actually be better for Verbal GMAT practice because of the availability of a variety of sources, including Marty Murray Coaching. You might want ask someone who knows more about them though.

Hi RevanthKota,

A 595 with four months of prep tells me you've built a solid foundation, especially in Quant. Going from 595 to 655+ by July 2nd is absolutely doable, but it's going to depend almost entirely on how effectively you improve Verbal and DI.

Your study strategy
The key question to answer before your next attempt is whether your Verbal and DI struggles are concept gaps or execution gaps. If you're consistently missing certain CR question types or struggling with specific DI formats like MSR, that points to concepts that need deeper coverage. If you understand the material but make mistakes under pressure, that's an execution issue that requires timed practice and process refinement.

Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension on the GMAT require deep understanding of argument structure and how trap answers are constructed. Multi-Source Reasoning is one of the most strategy-dependent question types on the exam. It rewards a systematic approach for navigating multiple tabs, identifying what's relevant, and eliminating answers efficiently.

Whatever resources you use, the most important thing is making sure your concept foundation is rock solid before moving into heavy practice mode. Strong foundations make practice dramatically more productive.

What I'd recommend
  1. Take an official GMAC practice exam now for a clean baseline. Your 595 from November is five months old. Six are available at mba.com.
  2. For MSR specifically, build a consistent process: read the question stem first, go to the relevant tab, extract only what you need, and eliminate answers systematically. Speed on MSR comes from process discipline.
  3. Track your errors by question type and by why you got them wrong (concept gap, careless error, timing, trap answer). This is the single most important habit between now and July.
  4. Make sure you're spending enough time reviewing mistakes, not just checking what the right answer was, but understanding WHY each wrong answer was wrong and what you'd do differently next time.
I hope that helps. Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.

The Data Insights section is the most misunderstood part of the GMAT Focus Edition — and also the most learnable. Most students treat it like a maths test with tables. It isn’t. It’s a logic test with data. The question is never “can you calculate this?” The question is always “given what this data shows, is this statement supported, contradicted, or neither?” The student who approaches every DI question with that frame scores significantly higher than the student crunching numbers.
