Hello BTG-folks,
First, like everyone, I have to thank you all. I've been observing these pages, running to it every time I got an answer I was sure of, almost was sure of, or didn't quite know, as if this forum became the doctor I ran to for a "second opinion". Its such an honor to have so many people work alongside each other for a common goal and a genius idea to get everyone's juices flowing.
So on to what I really wanted to say: I have a problem. I've been studying for the GMATs since March and I decided to take the test on June 26th. The week before I took off from work and studied DAY and NIGHT. From that one week alone, I saw my score skyrocket. It went from 400 to a 500 within a weekend all the way up to 600 where I stayed for the last few practice tests. The day before my test, after the week long of studying, I ended up falling sick with the flu! Of all days. I decided to cancel my test after being persuaded by my family that it was the right thing to do and reschedule for a later date.
My test is now on August 14, 2010. I have less than 40 days left to study and I know my weaknesses are on the following:
- Word problems (especially permutations, mixtures, probability)
- Reading Comprehension (weaken conclusion, strengthen etc.)
Does anyone have any great suggestions that I can implement for these two areas? I saw something on the main page of the blog but just wanted to see if there were any best practices that someone would be willing to shell out for these two areas to help me go from a 600 to a 700 in the next 40 days. I am on the BTG e-mail study guide but some of it is practice material that I've done already. Let me know when you get a chance. Thanks in advance!!!!
