Hi!

I attended the Gmat prep test today & I got 390. Quant 20 incorrect & verbal 23 incorrect. I have been preparing for some time now. I have 2 weeks to shift gears to a score of 650+.

Please advice on way forward.

Rakesh

To be honest, going from a 390 to 650+ in 2 weeks is very very difficult and very rarely does it happen. You mentioned that you've been preparing for some time now. Looks like you're still not on par with fundamentals which is the key to ace the GMAT and not just practicing problems.

What materials have you used? How have you studied so far? I would recommend that you postpone your test and give at least 2 months time for you.

Thank you for your quick reply & advice. I am studying from OG 12. I have a private tutor for both math & english. English i started 2 weeks back & just completed Reading comprehension. I think that might be the reason with low score in english. While in Quant I found out from my report that I got all DS questions wrong. Even though i found the correct solution the option I choose was not correct ( I am not sure if that even makes sense).

I do not want to postpone my exam date.

Please advice on how do I crack DS.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
