I spent 11 months preparing for the GMAT, but in hindsight, I stretched my prep too long. I kept delaying my first mock because I wanted to perfect everything before testing myself. Every time I felt almost ready, I would go back to revising and re-revising, hoping it would help me score higher. I maintained error logs and tracked every mistake both behavioral and conceptual but this approach ended up burning me out. The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that the GMAT is a skill-based test, and the only way to improve is through consistent practice, not endless reviewing. My first attempt was not the best I would say, I scored 555, which was disappointing, but it gave me some clarity. For my reattempt, I’ve decided to shift my mindset, focus less on perfecting each and every thing, and directly target my weak areas: D&I (especially TPA and Graphs) and Quant (Inequalities, Roots, and Exponents).
Regarding the test: Quant questions were on par with OG and not too wordy, which saved time since most were just 1–2 lines long. The first two questions were of medium difficulty, and since I got them right, the third one was noticeably harder. My goal was to get at least the first 8 questions correct, but that tough third question broke my streak. Verbal, usually my strong area, became tougher as I started feeling mentally exhausted while reading all the RC passages. Both RC and CR required strong attention to detail, and that got harder as fatigue set in. D&I was my weakest section, and I completely bombed it. While I did okay on DS, I made several mistakes on TPA and Table Analysis. My biggest takeaway is not to rely only on Quant and Verbal prep for D&I each D&I question type needs its own practice and approach.

If you focus heavily on these areas, consider doing some prep in areas you're strong on as well (enough to help maintain/keep those skills sharp).

Thank you so much for posting and sharing - really valuable to hear about the DI approach.
You left out the score - did you improve in your second attempt?
