Hello everyone,
This is my first post and it is not how I would have liked it to be. I always thought that my first post would be the story of my triumph over the GMAT. However, it has been the other way round. I have scheduled my GMAT on the 16th of May. I started my preparation in mid March and have been consistently scoring low scores which are as follows:
1) The Economist free CAT- 500 (Q35 V25) on 06.04.14
2) MGMAT CAT 1- 550 (Q40 V26) on 27.04.14
3) GMAT Prep 1- 520 (Q40 V21) on 04.05.14
That's not the only concern. I am unable to detect my weak points in Verbal. Initially I thought I only needed help in SC. So I used the MGMAT-SC and the E-GMAT to study and it paid off. My error % was reduced to half and I started to really enjoy the SC even if I got some questions wrong. But since then I have been making mistakes in RC and CR sections. I have prepared these sections from KAPLAN Premier-2014 and have got most of the questions from the book right especially in the CR section. Now I am left with all the three sections as my weak links. I am aiming for a verbal score of around 40.
In Quant section I have researched and found that most of my mistakes are silly mistakes that to only in the DS section. I am engineer by profession and maths has always been my strength. But the thing is that in the DS section I have been making silly errors and I am unable to find a way by which I can reduce them. I am aiming for a quant score of 50.
I have completed MGMAT guides for the SC and quant section and only CR and RC are left. I have also completed half of the OG 13th and whole of the KAPLAN Premier 2014. I have also decided to reschedule my GMAT appointment to the 1st week of August in order to have more preparation time to reach my target score (720+). Also I would like to know whether I should work only at getting all Quant ques. right initially and then move to work on my Verbal or study for both of them together.
Seeking your help!!!
