How to increase score from 42 to 45-47

by sukhman » Thu Oct 24, 2013 10:59 am
okay I got greedy since my verbal score tanked 6 points on GMAT Exam Pack Exam 4 ( I decided to get personal tuition for that), I need to increase my Quant score(I took tution sessions for Quant 6 months ago to improve my overall performance . I take the new question types in Exam Pack Verbal to be truly representative of GMAT Verbal,I improved on data sufficiency but have bought 3 new mini books Indian Ones (1 on Number system by Nishit K Sinha , Data sufficiency by Time ( Pearson ) How to Crack Test of arithmetic by Richa Agarwal ) .I have exactly 2 weeks for GMAT ( I decided to reschedule it from 29th since I panicked on seeing my verbal score there was no way of even touching 600 score , I am stuck at 530-540 level even after increasing my Quant score by 5 points.I didnt solve last 3-4 Questions in Quant because my timer went off .Are GMAT Club Tests helpful to get to 47-48 level ?

Forgot to suggest earlier the MGMAT Advanced Quant might be something you'd like to look at -- it does a nice job outlining the best way to take notes for harder Quant problems, and identifies the common traps and ways GMAT Data Sufficiency can esp. be made harder.
