Hi Experts,
I need your kind guidance in taking the path ahead. I appeared for my GMAT last week and got a 640(Q48, V 30)(a real set back for me), though I had been scoring 710 in my mock tests.
I brief about my profile,study plan and implementation.
I am an IT professional from India with 6+ years of experience.
Study plan - I studied the following material for 4 months.
OG 12
OG verbal
Advance Quant
Kaplan 800
Manhattan reference books (for both Q and V)
practice question available
GMAT PREP mocks
Manhattan mock
Problem areas-
1)My major fault was that I never wrote essays on mock tests, though experts have been pointing out that in most of their posts, so definitely my fault.
2) Sustenance power, on the real GMAT day when I was around 18 -19 question of the verbal section, I was feeling juiced out, though I never felt that on my mocks.
3)During my preparation I was able to identify the most of the problems in a SC question(whether it was a modifier problem, S-V agreement problem etc.) but on the real GMAT day I was not able to figure these things out. I was mostly relying on finding the differences among the answer choice and eliminating the wrong once.
How can I improve and what all methods need to be incorporated to get to a 720+ score.
Please suggest.
Regards.
