Dear All,

I wanted to know how frequently each problem type appears on the exam. Meaning, how important each problem type is from the examination point of view. I have just over 14 days left for the exam. I wanted to know the problem types require more attention than others.

Please advise.

Thanks,
Shridhar

Verbal
CR- about 12 questions
SC- about 15 questions
RC- 14 questions

Math
PS- 22
DS-15

However, the problem type that you should spend the most time on depends on your weaknesses. Even if you're great at RC, you won't get a good score if you're terrible at SC. That said, since you have 14 days left before the exam, studying SC usually gives you the most bang for you buck.

Cheers!

Daniel, thanks for reply.

Could you please tell me what topics to concentrate more on?

For e.g., in Math, Should I concentrate more on Probability than Geometry?

It really depends on you and your weaknesses. However, it seems that straight probability and geometry come up less than say word translations.

"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."
