Hi All,

First of all this is my first post on this forum since joining it a looooooooooooong time back ..

I took my first GMAT Prep today.. I have been reading the MGMAT books for Quant while NIL for the verbal prep. (It shows in my score

.... )

GMATPrep Score (1st May 2010) - 560 (Q48 / V20)

I plan to take my GMAT in the month of August ...
My Strategy was to do the MGMAT and Official guides for Quants this month
MGMAT SC, Powerscore CR for the second month
Practice tests and review of all prepd in the last month

But since now my test results indiacte that I need to prep for vebal (V20) Do I need a strategy shift ???

Thanks !!

Udaya

I'll Rather Suggest to start with verbal and side by side keep doing few questions of quant (DS/PS both) daily.
Also do not skip any section for such a long duration (not more than a week) In fact if you are doing quants for example then do atlst 3-4 questions of CR/SC/RC daily so that you stay in touch. Evn in verbal if u are focussing on SC this week then also do atlst 3-4 Qs of CR/RC daily. regarding the practice tests instead of giving them all in the last month use them as milestones to keep a track of your prep, to find out where u should focus next and change the strategy accordingly.
BEST of LUCK for UR GMAT

"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."
