Hey guys! I wanna share my success story with you.
Well, although every one has his or her own way to define success, i gonna tell you how my score grew from 520 to 690.
3 years ago, while i was still doing my bachelor's i decided to take take a test,I was pretty convinced that i was gonna nail it and did not study that much (stupid high self esteem and fearless of a youngster, i suppose).. well, i got 520. After graduation I decided to take another chance, but this time, I was following the 3 month non-stop study plan, which i developed by myself and which I adjusted a couple of times during this period.
1) First I downloaded Veritas and Manhattan study guides(books), went through all of them in order to get the basics. The materials and tasks they provide are quite straight forward, but it's essential to read them all anyways, even thou sometimes it gets really boring, since you still remember the most of the formulas from your high-school math classes. But you can obviously mix them with some extra exercises which you can easily find online. That was defiantly a very good take off for me.
2) Flash-cards helped me a lot as well! There's a nice application called anki-app (or something similar) for both android and iphone. You can not only make your own list of flash cards, but also download the ones people have already created. I believe it's probably the most efficient way to learn idioms. (at least for me)
3) Free gmat CATS! These are very useful! First of all, they help you to develop time-management skills. Second, they can show you what you will face on your exam day. Do not skip Essay and IR parts! Sitting in from of the computer for 4 hours is actually very tiring. Sometimes, during your first attempts in the end of the verbal section you brain just wanna shut down. Get used to it! I also purchased additional 5 Manhattan CATS, cuz I found them the most complicated, plus everyone kept saying how good they were. Highly recommend those! (btw, if you purchase one of their e-books on amazon, you can save up a little
)
4) 2 weeks before my test day, I looked at my scores and realized that I was not doing so well on the verbal section. (That's probably the most difficult part for a not native English speaker) So I decided dedicate all my free time to it. Every single day I pushed myself to get to know new underwater stones of the eng. grammar (thanks a lot to the guys who provided their study notes here on gmatclub), make my own notes and repeat them every day before going to sleep. As for RC, Reading articles on Popular Mechanics' web-site strengthened my reading skills quite a bit. Here, you have to evaluate what topics you find the most annoying and to make sure you read them every day! I also gotta say, I don't think there's a way to get better at CR, cuz it's basically your ability to think and to reason. All you have to do is to try to be as sceptical as possible. However, Improvement of your reading skills might lead to improvement of your CR. My advise is to read, read and read... always read.
5) I was sceptical about creating your error log in the beginning, but i did it anyways. No doubts, I was wrong. Learning from your own mistakes and trying to avoid them next time you see them save you loads of time! This web-site helped me so much as well! Thank you, gmatclub and all the members of it! I'm pretty sure I found all the answers here for the questions I had. This resource is just.. just beautiful!
Honestly, I tried quite a few free trials of the major gmat prep courses and I did not find them very interesting, I felt like the process was going very slowly, the lectures were very detailed and sooo looong, sometimes going too deep into a simple subject may seem as a waste of time.. Perhaps I'm not the one to judge, because I haven't purchased the whole course, but anyways...
The math part on the real exam was not super hard, maybe I was just lucky enough.. However, i highly recommend to spend more time on number properties and combinatorics. Those were probably the trickiest. + Don't forget to read dull articles!!! By reading every day, you'll defo get better at Verbal. I believe in you, the future gmat test takers =) Again, thanks a lot to the gmatclub team and all its members. It was a pleasure
