Congratulations on such a stellar performance.

Can you elaborate your study strategy for score improvement on below lines?
  • a. What was your %tile in CR and RC at start?
  • b. What courses (self prep/ online) did you use to advance?
    If Self prep (e.g Manhattan books) , how did you plan your study hours and allocate
    attention to individual sub sections?
  • c. Did you face any fatigue and/or timing issues in your mocks / had to make a random guess?
  • d. What was the frequency that you kept between mocks and what strategies did you use to analyse them?
  • e. Did you use LSAT material in your prep?
  • f. Are you planning for a re-take? I believe you can still improvise on Quant and push V beyond V35 and
    we hope to see another sweet story of success on 'Share GMAT experience' forum . :-)

Congratulations on such a stellar performance.

Can you elaborate your study strategy for score improvement on below lines?
  • a. What was your %tile in CR and RC at start? To be frank I was at 0/5 percentile at my 1st attempt and was unable to live with that... thus I went for 2nd attempt...was not concentrating much on CR or Rc either of the time. :-(
  • b. What courses (self prep/ online) did you use to advance? @e-Gmat
    If Self prep (e.g Manhattan books) , how did you plan your study hours and allocate
    attention to individual sub sections? Just trying to learn SC rules.... clearly could not learn all :-(
  • c. Did you face any fatigue and/or timing issues in your mocks / had to make a random guess? Have not taken much mocks... 1/2 here and there .... but in main exam Verbal timing was issue due to my poor knowledge and in tern in decision making on the choices.
  • d. What was the frequency that you kept between mocks and what strategies did you use to analyse them? NA
  • e. Did you use LSAT material in your prep? NO ..... LSAT is probably the next level . I am not even comfortable with GMAT level.
  • f. Are you planning for a re-take? I believe you can still improvise on Quant and push V beyond V35 and Yes... planning .... but donot have a date
    we hope to see another sweet story of success on 'Share GMAT experience' forum . :-) Thanks a bunch !!

How did you proceed with increasing ur score in Verbal? And how long did take to get this score-leap?. My current score is 22 and i aim to score 36+ with 2 months in hand. Is it possible in 2 months?
