Retaking GMAT in one month

by ftorpt » Mon Oct 15, 2012 9:28 am
Hello all

I would like to get your feedbacks and advice on retaking the GMAT.

I am planning to apply to Kellogg and Booth for their part time program in 2013.I have already taken the GMAT twice (620: V:31;Q45) and (630: V32;Q44). I would like to take the GMAT again as I want to score 700+ on this. The rest of application is in good form, so I do not want the GMAT to be a show stopper. Can you please suggest what would be the best way to structure my study plan, so that the chances of scoring 700+ are enhanced. Thanks for the help!

What materials have you used thus far? Difficult to suggest a plan without this information, but you should focus on the more difficult end of the quant OG questions and a lot of time in the medium range verbal material. Realize that review of your work is the key.

Jim

Many thanks for your reply. I am currently using the OG12 and this is what I have used in the past. I feel that my biggest drawbacks are in SC and data sufficiency. Are there any good materials out there for these topics. Thanks again!

GMAT Club has a good, free SC review. For DS, are you sure it is that question type and not discipline based?

From what i have seen in the past, my biggest flaw has been to approach a SC or DS in an unstructured manner and I end up guessing the same. Can you please point me to the location of the free SC review. Also, my issue with DS, as I said above, was lacking a structured plan to approach the problem.
