Hi Dumluck,

It depends on where you are at now with your studies. The Kaplan course will likely be a broad overview. Are you "cramming" or have you been studying for the past several months?

BTG has a nice little 2-week cram guide here: https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2010/01/ ... study-plan

If you've already covered the basics - OG, GMATPrep, you might want to try to hone in on your weak areas in the next 3 weeks on your own using supplemental materials (other recommended books like Powerscore CR, MGMAT SC, etc.), continue to take the MGMAT CATs for practice, and take advantage of free online resources like BTG and Grockit's free trial membership. I'd also suggest reviewing your old materials to create an Error Log. Score-wise, your GMATPrep scores are the most reliable indicator of how you'll do on test day.

Good luck!

Hi Vivian,
Thanks for the response. I've been studying the last three months. Have ran through the Kaplan Maths Workbook, All the MGMAT Guides except for CR and RC.

My main weak area is anything word translation base, I lose focus and typically miss an
important part of the question or misread it under pressure. I also noticed that
the verbal in the GMATPrep is a different standing to MGMAT, the passages are not as
convoluted but the questions are much closer together. ( I score a consistent 30 - 34 in MGMAT and a 17-32 in Quant) Another observation would be that I score about the same in mid level questions of the OG as I do in the higher levels. I find the CAT questions
to be a lot less straight forward and more descriptive with hidden meaning.

My approach at the moment is to do MGMAT CATs, run the assesment report, find my weak areas (Word Translations and VICs at the moment and concentrate on the OG questions in this area. Weighing this up against devoting the remainder of my time to the Kaplan course, what do you think?

Baring in mind I need a 550 min for the MBA of my choice (wonderful to be in Europe where there is
less emphasis on it).
