Hey

I used OG for that. Seldom have I reached for other sources. Focus on the last questions in each section. It should do fine As others have wrote here - OG is enough to reach high scores in Verbal and not sufficient for the Quant part.

Hi markeskom,

Thanks a lot for your post, I found it very uplifting. I was most impressed because you said your quant wasn't great before you started studying. Would you mind sharing what your quant score was before you started studying? Also, if you have any other suggestions when it comes to studying quant effectively, that would be very appreciated.

I am also about 1.5 months out from taking my exam and I am trying not to panic, as my initial quant score was very bad (less than Q40). I would love to hear more about how you overcame the quant section. Thanks!

Hello

My initial scores were Q27, V28. Pretty low, I guess

When it comes to learning for math, I started with basics, because I had not been doing quant problems for nearly 10 years. A lot of time to forget the tricks

After mastering basics, I tried to do a lot of tough problems. That gave me an insight on the areas I need to focus on. I prepared a list of those areas and searched for some advices on how to tackle them. Here came BTG and gmatclub - two amazing resources with great stuff scattered around. The only problem with them was that you have to take a minute or two to find them It's not an challenge you cannot accept

Wow, that is truly amazing. Thanks again for sharing your story!

Hi marekskom, I am really inspired by your story. Thanks for sharing. I am in similar situation: years (more than 10 ) out of school and I need incentive + lots of motivation to get there.

One question: how many hours did you study a day?
I am working full time and in one month I still could not review all math content.
Maybe I am going too much into details and I should go to the 700+ questions?

Cheers

Hey

I studied for about 4-5 hours daily, on average, including weekends. Sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on my form on a particular day. Walked back from work, took an hour to get some rest and jumped into GMAT world.

Try the 700+ problems - if they are too difficult, that means you should get back to basics

Cheers

Congrats on your score! And thanks for sharing your journey. Very inspiring.
