How to get better at getting 500-600 Questions right ?
Hi Guys, I am struggling a bit with the Gmat. I took MGMAT class, and am finishing up their syllabus, took 3 CATs so far, however I noticed that I have about 80-90% accuracy of right answers on questions between 300-500 level, but anything higher it drops severely to 55% or lower. What is going on, ...

I suggest a systematic (even methodical) approach, in which you take the time to master each topic/concept (e.g., percents, ratios, assumption questions in critical reasoning, comparison questions in sentence correction, etc). So, for each topic/concept, you should: 1) Learn the underlying concepts...

Hi bmierz86, Raising a score from the high-400s to the low-600s will take some serious work (and you'll likely need to make some big improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections). Thankfully, that score goal is reasonable AND the GMAT is a predictable Exam, so you CAN train to ...
