I was targeting 750+, but in my latest attempt I scored 720. I am re-appearing and will reappear in a Month.
I started preparing around the beginning of 2013, slowed down during the summer and dug back in late summer and fall to take the test in late October where I scored a meagre 530..
I had taken a GMAT Prep official practice CAT after a little studying and managed to score 610.
Part of my strategy on quant has been to become more familiar with question types, and thus cut down on time needed to figure out problems. I also used BTGMAT and GMAT Club and got many useful ideas from Bunuel solutions.
One thing that really seems to work on quant is seeking out problems I am afraid of, or get queasy even thinking about. For instance, I realized that when a data sufficiency question showed up, I was not a happy man. So, I did dozens of data sufficiency questions until doing data sufficiency questions became second nature.
I think I spent too much time studying tougher quant types like permutations and not enough time on algebra and arithmetic.
Also, beyond learning how to get to answers, working on speed and efficiency themselves may be a key part of the project.
I did find that on the official practice tests somehow the math was less time consuming and I was able to finish or come close to finishing quant on those.
When I saw my final score of 720 (Q49, V39), I virtually fell off the chair! I managed to improve a further 180 points... and both my verbal and quant scores are in comparable ranges (its a big deal now a days to have good quant and verbal scores, eg a score of Q 51 V 30 will be around 700 but it wont be appreciated by the admissions team because the quant score is the key determinant in that final score).
It has been an amazing journey preparing for the exam. In the end its the final score that matters.
Material Consulted -
OG13, V2, GMAT PREP Question Bank and Exam Packs.
Magoosh SC
Manhattan Strategy guides
GMAT Cub test, I used them as Quizzes.
Veritas Books
E-GMAT Verbal, awesome both for Native and Non Native Speakers. For all those people whose Verbal is not up to the Mark. I would say e-gmat online course is a must for You. I mean it.
Last, but very Important. In this Improvement 50% was my Hard work and 50% was my association with a Closed Google GROUP- Gmat Warrior.
If I would have been apart of this group I would have left preparation, But this forum not only kept me motivated, but also the in-depth and intense discussion there improved my skills and Confidence 400%. If you are a serious aspirant and struggling in verbal or quant you must also subscribe to this group.
People Post questions there from Gmatclub.com and other Forums and then intense discussion is done. This will keep you motivated,regular and will increase your testing taking ability 400%. There are few amazing people there who have scored 790, 770 and 760. You can apply for the membership here -
