4 615 D79 Q84 V79
5 655 D82 Q83 V83
6 675 D84 Q84 V83
For prep - I used TOP study material; for practice - I used GMAT
forum quiz majorly and gave all the official mocks as well
Experts global mocks.
The biggest concern is that I'm not able to understand the weak spots - there are days when verbal is strong & DI is screwed; on the other days DI is good & Verbal is flunked.
Would be great if you could provide some insights to navigate through this situation - should I appear again or should I let go of that thought and just go ahead with 655; also if you think that retaking might be helpful then what should be the approach given I've just 20 days at hand.
Thanks much !
A great way to determine your weak areas is with topical practice. Let's use quant as an example.
For example, let’s say you want to practice Number Properties. You can do so by answering 50 or more questions just from Number Properties: LCM, GCF, units digit patterns, divisibility, remainders, etc.
After each problem set, it's crucial to delve into the questions you answered incorrectly.
For instance, if you stumbled on a remainder question, take a moment to reflect. Was it a careless error? Did you fail to apply the remainder formula correctly? Was there a concept in the question that eluded you? This analysis is key to your learning process.
By carefully analyzing your mistakes, you will be able to fix your weaknesses efficiently and, in turn, improve your GMAT quant skills. Number Properties is just one example; follow this process for all quant, verbal, and DI topics.
Feel free to reach out with any questions.
