Hi GMAT Experts,
I am looking for some advice on my current GMAT preparations. My resources so far have been the Princeton Review Cracking the GMAT 2008 edition and the Official GMAT Guide.
From this, I have taken about 2 PR Practice tests which I have scored:
Test 1 - 530
Test 2 - 520
In both tests, I struggled in the Math section. Surprisingly, my Verbal was decent - not great. I am a Comp Sci graduate, so I am very concerned that my math was so poor. I keep can't seem to break out of that section. The content isn't difficult, but the timing, and wording seems to throw me off. I write the exam on the 24th of Feb, and was wondering if anyone could offer some advice on how to score better by at least 100 points. Any ideas on how to break out of my stagnant math scores?
Over the last couple weeks, basically, I have been just trying to do the practice questions within the Official Guide - generally timing 30 questions at a time (60mins). On the weekend I'll do a practice exam, and then check my corrections to it. During my weekday practice sessions, most of my focus is on math, where I generally score in the 20-21/30 range. I often go back and I can mostly understand my errors in 3-4 of the questions - which are stupid mistakes, but then the other ones just catch me off guard. What is the best plan to improve my Quant scores?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
