Hi,
First of all, just wanted to say that this site has truly been a one stop shop for test prep materials. The crowd knowledge has been extremely helpful in terms of looking at ways of improving from different angles. Thanks BTG!
Secondly, I went from a 590 - 720 today!
I studied on and off for 2 years since 2010 so its been a long time coming. My main suggestion is that you should master material then work on timing. Do no more than 20-30 questions a day, but focus on getting it 100% under a time constraint. e.g., give yourself 40 min for 20 quant questions. Then, you need to track your error to figure out what subjects you're weak in and focus on those. Once you can conquer these small "pop quizes", full length tests shouldn't be difficult. NEVER pause your test simulators because that does not train your endurance. Endurence is important because if you're tired for the last 30 min of the test, you'll mentally collapse and want to guess on every question. BAD!!! GMAT is a reasoning and endurance test, NOT a math/verbal test.
Anyway, super tired but really excited that I am a more eligible applicant. Good luck everyone!
