Greetings all,
I have been preparing for the GMAT for about 3 months now and I wanted to see if I could get a few suggestions on how to make my study time more effective (basically fine tuning). I study for about 2 hours a day, every day, usually split between an hour on Quant and an hour on Verbal. I've seen a marked improvement in my verbal but my quant scores are not increasing as much as I would have expected. Here are the study tools that I have used thus far: Read through the OG13, done practice problems, completed Total GMAT Math by Sackman and worked through the Kaplan Premier 2013. I also have the Kaplan 800 book and the supplementary OG quant and verbal books. I have taken 3 full length practice tests and I have scored 550, 580 and 550 respectively. I ordered the Total GMAT math book after my last test because I just felt that I was not strong enough on certain concepts. Now I feel that I have a good foundation for quant I want to fine tune my studying. I find that I have a lot of trouble with D.S. questions when compared to problem solving. Are there any strategies or tips on increasing my abilities in this area? I plan to increase the amount of these questions that I study but I want to find out if there are any methodologies that I might find helpful? Secondly I find that I struggle with geometry questions. I plan to take another practice assessment this upcoming weekend and I would like to address these weaknesses during this week's study time, does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
