Hello All,

This is my first post on this wonderful site.

My Profile : Indian Male IT with more than 12.5 Yrs exp which includes 131 weeks of Intl exp - UK & France.

I have appeared for GMAT twice -

Oct 09 - > 500 [Q 40, V 19] - With preparation but could not complete quant section, was slated to score >= 48 in quant but eventually scored 40 only.

Dec 10 - > 490 [Q 42, V 16] - Without preparation, was quite busy with office work.

I gave GMAT Prep 1 test on 12th May 12 and only scored 540 [Q 44, V 21].

I want to score >= 650. I am planning to give my exam on 28th Sep 12.

I have attached my plan.

* 441 Quant is a collection of 441 PS questions from a decent training company in India.
* Quant Red is a collection of 700-800 level questions from a decent training company in India.

Pls provide me your valuable inputs soon.
It will be really nice on your part.

Thanks

KW1.

It seems like you're spending a lot more time on quant than on verbal, but you have a lot more room for improvement (and it's going to be easier to pick up points on your overall score) on verbal.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your quick reply.

Do you feel that that the plan is OK to execute?.

I understand that improving verbal score will certainly lift my overall gmat score, so I have been spending much more time on verbal than on quant.

1. CR - Weakest
2. RC - Weaker
3. SC - Weak

I have already covered the following before appearing for GMAT Prep1 on 12th May 12 -

1. OG 12 - 1 Time
2. OG 12 Verbal Review - 1 Time
3. OG 11 - 1 Time
4. MGMAT Number Properties - Multiple Times
5. MGMAT Word Translations - Multiple Times
6. MGMAT SC Old Version - Multiple Times. This I am able to understand. Tried going through the latest version but not comprehend it well. I feel it is quite difficult to implement the rules mentioned in the latest version in the actual exam.
7. MGMAT CR - 2 Times - Do you feel I should go through LSAT CR Bible?.

Kindly guide me so that I am able to improve my overall gmat score [target - >= 650].

Regards,

KW1.

"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."
