Getting better...( 380 to 500)

by smar83 » Fri Jan 07, 2011 12:06 pm
I know this is a wrong section, but looks like there is some improvement in my scores to post it here? LOL... If not, moderators feel free to move it..

I gave my GMAT in March 2010 and scored a 380 ( Q:27,V:17)....I don't know what happened...

I took some time off and then studied on an on-off basis, nothing hard core and scored 500 (Q:32, V:27) today... I thought i was acing verbal, but not! I also got the 1st question wrong on the Q. I figured it out after I came home... :)

My realistic goal is to score a 600...Being from an engineering background, q:32 is Horrible!!!!!! Any pointers to improve my Quant? I was really unsure on almost half of DS questions.... How can I improve that? I am sure GMAT has some pattern which I am failing to see :)

Thanks all..

What materials you are studying? MGMAT's Quant books are the best in quant prep. If you solve OG problems , by the end of 180 problems or so,you will start seeing a pattern. These 2 things must be able to take your score to 40.To take it above 40 you have to work bit harder and refer some hard practice sets.
