Hi BTGers,
Took the exam about 1.5 weeks back and scored a 640 (Q46, V32) My strategy and schedule during my first attempt was like this:
Study Materials used-
Manhattan set of 8 guides.
OG 12th edition (did not finish practising CR as I ran out of prep time)
OG Quant Review
OG Verbal Review (only SC)
Powerscore CR Bible
Practice tests-
MGMAT #1 650 (Q45, V34)
GMATPrep #1 620 (Q42, V32)
MGMAT #2 640 (Q44, V34)
MGMAT #3 620 (Q41, V34)
GMATPrep #1 650
GMATPrep #2 620 (Q46, V30)
GMATPrep #2 Retake 720 (Q48, V40) [Not very representative]
I have made a new study plan focused on Verbal, as this is the area that needs to be improved a lot:
1. Apart from going over major books again (MGMAT+OGs), I also intend to go over the basics with Kaplan Math & Verbal workbooks since I have the time to prepare.
2. OG 11 and 10
3. GMATClub tests for hard Math questions
4. Retake the 6 MGMAT CATs and GMATPreps
5. Solve the GMATPrep document questions in the end of prep, after exhausting the tests.
6. Concentrate on building my stamina with better food and exercise.
7. Take all CATs with essays and IR if possible.
Please do chip in with your tips and advice on how to go about from 640 to 700+ in about 2 months time. I believe I can do it this time. My main focus will be boosting my Verbal score to a 40.
Thanks!!
