This is my first posting on beat the gmat site. First of all, thanks to the founders of beat the gmat site. It is extremely useful.
I went through a few popular posts in this site and prepared my plan based on my strengths and weaknesses. This is the 4th week of my preparation. I am spending about 15-20 hours a week. First 2 weeks I spent on Quant and I have been spending time on SC since last 2 weeks. I plan to take one prep test each week and I took 3 tests so far. My Quant scores are reasonable, but my verbal scores need much improvement. Here are my scores.
GMAT Prep 1: 490 (Quant - 39 & Verbal 19) - (before starting the prep)
Veritas Prep (GMAT Simulator) 1: 510 (Quant - 42 & Verbal 14) - I practiced just quant the night before
Veritas Prep (GMAT Simulator) 2: 520 (Quant - 35 & Verbal 23) - I guess my quant score was low because I did not practice for almost 10 days before taking this test.
I have completed Veritas OnDemand SC 2 classes and practice questions in SC workbook.
Planning to go through VeritasPrep ondemand classes CR & RC.
I am also planning to practice SC, CR & RC in OG 12.
As someone suggested in this forum, I am also planning to practice 20 Quant questions from OG everyday (or alternate days) to keep my quant skills fresh. I am following the correction worksheet and spending time on going through my answers.
I am targeting to score about 650.
1. Is this a reasonable target given that I have only 5 weeks to prepare?
2. Do I need to make any changes to my plan to improve my verbal scores?
3. Are VeritasPrep scores good representatives of GMAT test? I did not see much about VeritasPrep in this forum.
I am open to suggestions to go through some other material instead of VeritasPrep.
