Hi BTG,

I am taking a week off from work to concentrate on my preparation.
I have done SC CR and RC but have difficulties in SC and RC on the tests as I am not able to apply the techniques
and more often go with gut feeling , end up getting questions wrong.

For quant I am struggling with the DS questions, need some help there.

Also my last test I got 620 want to get it past 650 or 670 by the end of next week.
I am not able to do proper analysis of my prep tests.Please if anyone could suggest what the proper way of doing analysis after the test.

Coming week my prime aim is towrds my weaknesses SC DS RC
revise certain topics in CR and PS which I get wrong.
Go through the logs and see what mistakes I am making try to find a pattern there

Please suggest if i am missing out any thin.Sorry for the long post!

Everyone struggles with Data Sufficiency (DS) questions at first. This question type is totally unique to the GMAT, so it's foreign territory. Having said all of that, if you're having difficulties with DS questions, your #1 priority should be to fix that since these questions account for about 40% of the quantitative section.

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

Cheers,
Brent

"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."
