How to improve GMAT score, looking for tips

Expert replies

Hello,

I have been studying for almost 2 months now and plan another month of dedicated study before taking the GMAT in early June

When I first started it was like starting over as I hadn't done math since early college days (about 4 years)

I started with the foundations and then started attempting actual problems.

I first did the Kaplan Premier book, then the Official Guide 12 Quant book. I took practice tests throughout the process and my scores have consistenly gone up.
Kaplan 1 - CD test but my computer won't work with the CD
Kaplan 2 - 580 (Q36, V36)
Kaplan 3 - 660 (Q41, V43)
GMAT Prep 1 - 620 (Can't locate breakdown)
Kaplan 4 - 590 (Q35, V36)
Kaplan 5 - 590 (Q36, V32)
Kaplan 6 - 590 (Q38 V30)
MGMAT 1 -600 (Q43, V31)
Princeton Review Free - 620 (Can't locate breakdown)
GMAT Prep 2 - 660 (Q42, V38)
MGMAT 2 - 660 (Q45, V35)

I feel as if my Quant score is steadily increasing and on my last CAT test, the MGMAT 2nd test upon review the only Quant questions I missed were in the 700-800 range. I recently breezed through the MGMAT Foundation books just as a refresher on core concepts (and I am waiting on the strategy guides).

Previously I did all the Quant problems in the OG 12 Quant review and got 86% right. I have recently reviewed and redid all the questions I had previously gotten wrong.

Any advice on how to proceed? I plan on completing all the strategy guides for MGMAT and then completing the OG 12 Verbal review.Once these are completed I plan on diving into the OG 12 and compelting each problem multiple times (until I can fully understand why the problem is correct). While doing this I plan to take CAT tests peridocally just to somewhat measure improvement and keeping the pacing strategies I currently have (as I have only run out of time once in the CAT's I have taken). I can see my Quant score slowly increasing and I have gotten my highest score of 45 today. I feel fairly confident I can increase this as I notice mistakes on some of the problems. I may have dove into the CAT's a little too early but I like to measure how my studying is going. I figure if I focus more on the tougher math problems while increase my verbal score (provided this will increase with strategy guides and more practice) I should see the scores I am looking for

Any advice on how to proceed studying or any thoughts on my plans for prep?

Any advice would help

Identify your weak areas and try to close those gaps
find out alternate ways to solve a problem (time management)
Try to guess the pattern while practicing SC and CR.
Practice 3 passages everyday for RC.
Find out which types of questions trouble you and take more time (SC: tenses, modifier etc, CR:Argument structure, assumptions etc, RC: Inference, all of the below except questions).
Practice full length test with AWA (GMAT is a marathon, dont prepare for a sprint. DONT SKIP AWA)
