Hello All

I just took a practice MGMAT and scored a 640(v34 q44). I am still studying and don't plan to take the GMAT until end of September, so I have some time to improve. I saw the breakdown of the questions I missed. Here it is:

Q- missed 18questions. 13 of the missed questions were in the 700-800 range questions
V- missed 19questions. 8 of the missed questions were in the 700-800 range questions.

A good portion of my missed questions were in the 700-800 range questions. What is the best strategy to improve on this? What resources are good that focus on the tougher questions?

Thanks

Not sure about the verbal, but as for the math, I dont think there is any specific way to study for those questions, other than just general studying. The 700-800 range questions seem to make you think more than using basic formulas you use in the easier questions. Learning to identify what they are asking and noticing an easier way to do the problem are really the only things I can think of. If anyone else has a better suggestion, I'd appreciate it too.
