Where to begin!?!

Vitie can you elaborate on the technique in 2... May be a small example....

Sure - consider this example:

There are X students in a group. Y of them speak Spanish, Z of them speak French. W of them speak both Spanish and French, and Z of them speak neither Spanish nor French. It gives you some of the values, and asks the unknown. This is an easy question. You can always solve it. But there is this technique that would make you solve it in under 30 seconds without using mental effort and without risk for error. Draw a 3x3 table. Call first column Speaks Spanish, and second column DOESN'T Speak Spanish. Similarly, call first row Speaks French, and second row DOESN'T Speak French. Use third row and third column for the sums of preceding two cells in the row/column. The cell at the 3rd column and 3rd row will be the total number of the entire group (i.e. X in this example). Put the given numbers in their appropriate cells, and you will find the unknown in a split of a second.

Hi tholley92,

In order to achieve 700 or above, the best combination is Q49 and V35. Hence, if your verbal score is around 35, you can easily improve your score up to 49 with us. Also, since your exam is in November, you have plenty of time preparing yourself.

In order to hit 49, you should be strong in PS. For DS, if you do well on CMT(Common Mistake Types), you can easily hit 49. ​In fact, ​these hard 4-5 CMT ​questions are given on actual GMAT. If you get 1-2 questions ​wrong, you can definitely hit 49. Or, if you get ​0​-​1​ questions wrong, you can hit 50​-51. ​So, you should​ get 3-4 right out of hardest 4-5 questions. ​This is a big pressure because you have to solve 37 questions in 75 minutes.

However, with our unique approaches of Variable approach for DS and IVY approach for PS, you can significantly save time, and will have 10 minutes to spare on exam. For instance, with our approaches, you can solve questions that normally take 4 minutes in 1 minutes and 30 seconds, and 2-minute question in 30 seconds.
You can solve DS questions 100% with Variable approach and 30-40% of PS questions with IVY approach.

If you would like to try our approaches, Please try Trial Pack (4 hour lesson) that reveal our secret approaches of DS+PS core theory that you have never seen. You can test whether you like them or not before you enroll.

Hey tholley92,

With a test date in November, here is a customized 2-3 month study plan that can help boost your score: https://www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-t ... study-plan

Use this as a guideline. You don’t have to follow it exactly but the structure of the study plan should be the same structure that you take in your approach. This helps to optimize your retention and learning.

As you study, we recommend that you focus on one particular subsection for multiple consecutive days before moving onto the next. You can see this in our study plan where we recommend 5 days on nothing but SC -- before moving onto CR and then RC.

Here is a sample SC video to help you start your journey: https://www.gmatpill.com/sentencecorrect ... ythons.mp4

Best of luck - we are here to help.
