Hi, I recently took the GMAT and failed to reach my minimum goal of 610. I want to take the GMAT again in 30 days so that I can apply for this years class, however I will now be writing the new GMAT now and I clearly need to work on the original areas as well as integrated reasoning. I am more concerned about my score out of 800 so I think I could just do the bear minimum for integrated reasoning, however what that is I have no idea.
What strategies would you take to raise your score 50 points in 30 days while also learning the new integrated reasoning section?
About me and my studying so far:
I wrote the GMAT last Thursday and Failed to break the 600's. I took several practice tests the week before and scored between 590 and 680 depending on the day. On test day I found my major problems to be timing and the ability to implement the strategies I studied fast enough. My biggest trouble spots are Reading Comprehension (The first passage on the GMAT too me so long with out realizing and I had to rush through the remaining 30 questions, primarily the reading comp to regain time) and timing in the Quant section (I tend to get caught up over analyzing and over calculating too many times, however I always finish onetime, as I just guess when this happens if I spend more than 2 min on a question).
To study I used KAPLAN premier and then to brush up on my weak points in math I used the Manhattan Gmat Books. So far I have invested about 6 weeks studying 5-4 hours a day during the week and 7-8 on the weekend.
If anyone has any help or advice from there own experience it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
