Hi guys,
I've read many of your posts on what materials to study and so forth. But can someone help me plan out what i need to do to score in the 600-650 range? I know this is a low score but the school I'm applying to is so damn expensive (bc of placement guarantees) that they've lowered all entry requirements.
Anyways here is my story:
Study Materials:
Kaplan Premier 2010 and did all the practice questions, quizes etc in the book
OG12 -- Did barely any work here -- only 60 Quant Q's
Practice Scores
Kaplan online Linear GMAT
600, Q36, V39
Kaplan online CAT
520, Q32, V28
GMATPrep --1--
560 (didn't record scaled scores but V>Q)
Kaplan CD
520 (didn't record scaled scores but V>Q)
GMATPrep --2--
560, Q35, V32
FIRST OFFICIAL ATTEMPT (Oct 20th, 2010)
550, Q35, V31
On the exam day I was sort of behind on time in the Quant section, i had to guess the last 3 questions. However, I had 3 minutes left over for verbal. Plus, I was sick with a sore throat and felt weak on exam day!! I started studying on and off since September 2010 but studied straight from October 1st to the day before exam day which was Oct 19th. I feel my problem is with quant questions -- both timing and understanding the questions..especially DS. I want to focus more on algebra since I feel my main weakness is setting up equations -- I never know when to use x + 2x + 3x = 100 vs x + 2y + 3z = 100 ( ie one variable vs multiple variables)
Any help is much appreciated!! There is just soo much info on BTG its sort of all over the place!!
