For targeted practice, you can use BTG's tagging feature to focus on one topic at a time. For example, here are all of the questions tagged as statistics questions: https://www.beatthegmat.com/forums/tags/ ... statistics
See the left side of that linked page for more tag options.

Our site (https://www.gmatprepnow.com/) also has questions divided by topic.

For additional practice tests, check out this list of free and paid resources: https://www.gmatprepnow.com/resources/practice-tests

Hi Azizakaria,

In a prior series of posts, you mentioned how you were planning to take the GMAT on March 12, your score goal was 650+ and you were facing an April application deadline. Is all of that still true?

Since you've been studying for several months now, you should have taken a number of FULL-LENGTH practice CATs. How have you scored on each of those CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)? That information will help define what you should be focused on right now.

NICE job so far Aziza.

For categorized quant, the question bank at https://bellcurves.com.

For quant and verbal the Veritas Question Bank, at https://www.veritasprep.com/gmat-question-bank/.

For official quant and verbal, the GMAC Question Pack.

Magoosh.

Manhattan has a question bank.

That list is just a start.

Hi Azizakaria,

How many other CATs have you taken in the last two months? And what were your scores on each of those (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)? I ask because I'm trying to gauge your progress so far and knowing just your most recent score does not allow me to do that.

With an April 9th Test Date, you have over 6 weeks of study time remaining. You could conceivably raise your scores to 650+ during that time, but you're going to have to be really efficient with your studies. Doing lots of practice problems is likely not going to provide the solution that you're looking for though; you need to learn/practice new Tactics.

i Took about 3 CATS my score was 250, 350, 390, unfortunately i don't have the Q. & V. score as i rest them. that's a good news to know that i can get 650+ in 6 weeks, so how to learn/ practice new Tactics ? and how to use my time efficiently ?
