Hello friends,
I appeared for the GMAT in the last month. I got 420 on the GMAT exam. It is 150 less than my scores of GMAT prep and other cat exams. I will appreciate your help if you could guide me for improving my score.
How I prepared for my GMAT?
I prepared for the GMAT for 4 months full-time (4-5 hours every day with one day break in a week). I am good at Math. So, It was not difficult me to get good score in the math. I was easily getting 40 or more in all my cat exams. I prepared for Math from mgmat guides and those were really helpful. In English, I am non-native English speaker. I face lot of problems while preparing for the verbal. For SC, I was able to get 7 answers correct out of 10. I also prepared for verbal from mgmat guides. For CR, CR is quite difficult part for me. I have learned the rules for CR but rules are not the only thing working for CR. It also requires CR kind of thinking. I think, I am falling behind at that point. I also started learning from CR bible. I was able to finish 11 chapters from CR bible before my GMAT exam. It has helped me but not much. So, In CR questions I was getting 50% answers correct. Same thing happened with me in RC. Only 50% of RC questions I was getting correct in my exams.
The material I used for preparing includes OG 10, OG 12, OG math review, OG verbal review, mgmat guides, Kaplan verbal workbook, Kaplan 800, CR bible.
The CAT exams which I took before my actual GMAT are 5 exams of mgmat, GMAT prep exam (4 times), 2 - Peterson’s (Master the GMAT book ) exam, 5 exams of 800score
For all the exams, I got the score between 530 and 600. I know, appearing for GMAT prep exam for more than 2 times can give great variation in the score. I was just expecting the score around 550 on my actual GMAT. I have never heard of this kind of big variation in the score. In my cat exams, my minimum score of verbal was 24 and minimum score of math was 40. I got 11 in verbal part and 39 in math part of actual GMAT. I want to improve my verbal score and I am targeting 550 for my actual GMAT. I need your help to improve my verbal. Which books should I use for improving the score of verbal? What can be the best way to prepare for verbal? I have 1.5 months to prepare for my GMAT.
I will appreciate your suggestion/guidance.
Thanks
