Hello fellow GMAT warriors and GMAT tutors,
Greetings for the day!
I am thrilled to share my latest accomplishment. In my second attempt at the GMAT, I achieved an good score of 750 - with a Q50, V41, and IR 3. This is a significant achievement for me, as I had never scored above 730 on my official GMAT mocks before. maybe i got lucky in the end...
I want to express my deep gratitude to Gmatclub for providing such an in valuable resource. 😌
My preparation journey was greatly aided by resources like Gmatclub, YouTube videos from educators such as Gmatninja, Gmatwizako, and CrackVerbal. I extend my heartfelt thanks to all these platforms.
Here's a breakdown of my practice test scores:
GMAT Prep Mock 3: Q51, V37 - 730, IR 7
GMAT Prep Mock 4: Q51, V32 - 700, IR 6
GMAT Prep Mock 5: Q50, V35 - 710, IR 6
GMAT Prep Mock 6: Q50, V25 - 650, IR 7 (This was a setback, as I took it only 3 days before the actual exam. but one thing i learned through is not to panick)
This journey has been immensely fulfilling, and I thoroughly enjoyed every step of it. In my first attempt, I had a mere 3 weeks to prepare and scored 690. However, for my successful second attempt, I dedicated 6-7 weeks of preparation. I am delighted to see that my efforts have borne fruit.
Quantitative reasoning has always been my strength. I consistently practiced by solving 20-25 questions daily. While approaching questions, I followed a routine:
If I solved a question correctly within the 2-minute time limit, I moved forward.
If I struggled with a question:
I referred to the comment section.
I reviewed various solution approaches, as there can be multiple ways to tackle a problem.
I chose the method that I felt comfortable.
Importantly, I documented this approach in a notebook and not just formula...to be honest i rarely reffered back to this notebook but the writing part itself helped me a lot to memorize path/ approach/ nuances of question.
Verbal posed a greater challenge, given that English is not my native language. However, the GMAT refers to it as "Verbal Reasoning," so there's no need to worry. If you possess robust logical and reasoning skills, you can overcome this hurdle.
SC was particularly daunting for me. Every time I encountered a new question, it felt as if I was being greeted by new rule, and this hindered my confidence. Consequently, I stuck to a meaning-based approach. However, a key prerequisite is understanding the intended meaning before proceeding.
honestly I never mastered SC, I think luck favored me on the exam day with familiar idiomatic expressions that aided navigation.
CR I found that quality matters more than quantity. Instead of solving countless questions, I dedicated at least 10 minutes to thoroughly understand and analyze a few questions daily. I focused mainly on incorrect answer choices, understanding why they were wrong, and how the GMAT crafted them. Interestingly, I even began to predict answers for some questions without looking at the options.
RC - I think time management is main problem in solving these questions .My approach depended on the nature of the passage:
1. For technical/scientific passages, I skimmed through and returned to relevant points after reading the questions.
2. For all other passages, I read the entire passage before addressing the questions.
one more thing, I have a question regarding IR.
Eventhough i did well in quant and verbal, in IR i went completely blank on two questions.( completely my fault should have skipped and carried on to solve next questions)
I'm curious about whether business schools attach significant importance to the IR section.

Well done!

They don't care that much. People get into top schools with IR scores of 2.
