Improving my score

by readyforthegmat » Mon Sep 02, 2013 8:03 pm
After taking a few practice tests, I am have noticed I have significant weaknesses in a few sections which I will need to improve on if I want to score 670+. Lets start with the first section which I am weak in, Data Sufficiency. I am weak in this section especially number properties, absolute values, and the other math topics. Another section I am weak in is the sentence correction. What are some guides and practice problems you guys would recommend using to improve on these sections? I have been using the Manhattan guides and OG 13.

Hi readyforthegmat,

If you can answer a few questions, then I'll be happy to offer some advice:

1) Have you taken any full-length practice CATs yet? If so, what were your scores?
2) When is your actual GMAT scheduled for?
3) Where do you plan on applying to school?
4) Are you on any deadlines?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Everyone struggles with Data Sufficiency (DS) questions at first. This question type is totally unique to the GMAT, so it's foreign territory. Since DS questions account for about 40% of all questions on the quantitative section, you MUST become proficient with the many DS strategies.

If you're looking for some extra DS resources, we have a free set of videos that cover everything you need to know: https://www.gmatprepnow.com/module/gmat-data-sufficiency

Cheers,
