Hi folks -

I started 2 weeks back preparing for GMAT. I quickly finished Princeton Review and have just started OG11. I took up GMAT prep test 1 and 2 to assess myself. I scored 660 in test 1 and 690 on test 2 (Q49, V34).

I need to work on Data sufficiency and SC to start with.

Suggest a plan for next 5 weeks for my exam. I'm targetting score around 750.

I'm working full-time, so I find it difficult to take out more than 2 hours Mon-Fri, though I have weekends with me.

Thanks.

You'll need to identify specific resources that can help you get better at Data Sufficiency and SC.

For SC, find a book that teaches you the grammar that's tested on the GMAT. There are a ton of books out there, so ask people here what they have used and recommend. (I won't suggest something, because obviously I'm biased!)

For DS, do you need help on general DS strategies regardless of the topic? Or are there certain math areas that are giving you trouble? If the former, you need something that concentrates on DS strategies. If the latter, then you need something that concentrates on the actual math / concepts being tested. Either way, you do need to identify and acquire some specific resources that will teach you these things (OG11 is great for practice problems, but the book doesn't focus on teaching you what you need to know to get better).

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
