Can you be more specific about how you've been studying and where your score started? E.g., have you been using the OG? Have you already improved 100 points?

Hello jim,

Thanks for the reply
My verbal score is around 35 in both MGMAT and GMAT PREP, and QUANT score is around 45 in both the tests.
I gave GMAT last year and scored a dismal 560, and have started studying for GMAT a couple of months ago.

The prep materials i am using are:

Kaplan premier program
kaplan 800
OG11, OG 11 verbal and quant
MGMAT books

I have finished studying OG

I have scheduled GMAT on Nov 6th. My score started in MGMAT from 620 and is hovering around 630 640.
Please advise me, how I can improve my score

My best advice: if you're not scoring 750+, you haven't "finished" the OG. For each and every question in the whole book(s), do you/can you:

1. For quant: know the best, fastest, easiest, and most efficient way to solve the problem? Note that this is probably NOT the way the OG tells you to do it.

2. For verbal: know why every answer choice is right or wrong? Knowing the right answer is fine, but knowing why every wrong answer is wrong is even better.

3. Know what category (e.g., yes/no data sufficiency with plugging in) every question falls into? Can you easily recognize this when you see a question?

4. Make up a similar problem using different facts and/or numbers?

5. Solve that same problem again tomorrow in less than a minute?

6. Explain every problem, the best way to solve them, and why every answer choice is wrong, to someone who is unfamilar with the GMAT, as if you are teaching a prep class?

You aren't done with the OG until you can honestly say "yes" to all of those questions. Until then, keep on studying those problems. Once you can do everything mentioned above, your score will go up.
