Hi,
I would like to get some advice and ideas for a study strategy.
I got a very week score of 380 when I sat GMAT, hence I got beaten by GMAT. I was doing terrible on the Quant part (specifically on data sufficiency questions) and slightly better on the verbal part. When I was preparing for my first test I did not take any preparation tests so I was not familiar with the format and I did not know my strengths and weaknesses.
On the actual test I rushed through a lot of questions, did not have any time management and ended up not answering 10 questions on the quant and 10-15 on the verbal at all (terrible I know!). One month before the test, I was going through the entire Manhattan strategy guide on Verbal and the foundations of Math but I did not do any real practice questions from the OG and had no idea how to tackle data sufficiency questions.
Unfortunately I did not reach the target score of 600 and I have decided to sit the GMAT once more with a goal to reach 600.
At this point in my preparation for my second GMAT test in 3 weeks (29th Jan) I have started to
master the CR part, I am constantly improving my RC (in addition to Manhattan guides I read a lot of articles and news)and I will now start with Sentence correction.
From 13-28 Jan I'm planning to focus more on the quant part and I will use Manhattan's strategy guide for math. At the end of each week I will do 1-2 practice tests to assess my current state and strengths/weaknesses and make changes in my plan accordingly.
I started with the Verbal part because this is the part where I have the best chance to boost my score and where my main strengths are.
I would like to get some advice for a study plan and how to best prepare for specifically the Quant part, but also ideas of how to further improve on the Verbal part given that I only have 3 weeks left. Is it possible to reach 600?
Best regards,
Christian
