Hi All,
I have my GMAT in around 4 weeks. Like a lot of GMAT takers, my quant is decent - average Q47 on prep tests. However, verbal is a disaster. V28 - 29.
I figured SC was probably the only section of Verbal I could really improve in. Challenging SC topincs: Tenses, Modifiers and Idioms. I have gone through the MGMAT SC guide and have purchased the Aristotle SC grail + OG 12 solutions guide today.
CR and RC are not that great. Timing is the biggest issue for me with these two topics.
My plan for the next 4 weeks:
- SC: I plan to go through the grail topic by topic and attempt all the questions at the back. This way, I am not exhausting the OG guide. However, I have attempted the first 110 qs once before. (Next 3 - 4 days)
- CR: I plan to go through MGMAT's CR guide and attempt as many OG qs as possible. My aim will be to practice with a timer. I have read a lot about different ways to tackle different CR qs types. Could you please point me to some useful resources regarding the same? (3 - 4 days)
- RC: Again I plan to go through MGMAT's RC guide to fish out some strategies and then practice (timed) as many OG qs as possible. I believe practice is the only way to improve on RC.
- Quant: With quant, I plan to do a few sums every 2-3 days and also attempt the quant section while undertaking the mock tests. I think this should suffice. Any thoughts?
- Throughout the next 4 weeks, I plan to take 6 MGMAT tests + GMAT Preps x 2. I work fulltime so I am able to spend approximately 3 hrs per day during weekdays and approx 10 hrs on weekends.
I would like some advice regarding my verbal prep and if you think this is the right approach. I want to stick with one study plan for the next 4 weeks and need the experts to tell me if this will truly work. I would really appreciate your advice and anyone elses who has probably been in a similar position.
Many thanks,
Aanchal
