My scores Q43 V32 (620)

I want to take it again within a month. I was performing much better on the Powerprep (1st time 1 month ago I got 650). I believe the best strategy now is to focus on the verbal and keep a maintenance work on the math that will naturally improve. What's the best material to improve the verbal, specially the RC and CR areas? Please, share your thoughts. Thanks!

Could you share more information on your prep for some one on the forum to help you? What were the different practice tests you did and how much you scored on them? What were the material you worked through? What is your target score? The strategy required for a retake prep would depend on what have you done so far.

Prasanna,

My preparation took 2 months. I started studing from different sources, Kaplan Premier, Kaplan 800, retired tests, etc in a quite unorganized way. I took few prep tests. I took powerprep one month ago and felt very confident because I scored 650 (Q44) and my target is 700. However, 10 days ago I took another powerprep and scored 590. Desperate, I bought Manhattan full tests and did them all. The math scored varied from 43 to 47 and the verbal from 34 to 40. In the day prior to the test I took Kaplan online practice and scored 620. I though it was ok because these scores sometimes push you down. However, surprise, yesterday I got 620 on the real test. I think my weakness are DS, CR and RC. Manhattan helped me to improve my PS performance and confidence. I hope I've given you a better picture.

Thanks a lot for you help.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
