660 ( Q48, V 33) - Planning to reappear

by Sayan_1987 » Sun Sep 16, 2012 12:14 am
Hello,

Firstly, I want to acknowledge that BTG is excellent source of practice materials . Thanks to all BTG members and experts for their wonderful posts and explanations on each question .However, I will regret that I have started reviewing the questions posted in BTG only 15 days prior to my exam .

Yesterday I sat for GMAT exam and scored only 660 after 2.5 months of preparation . I have not answered the last question of quant due to my ineffective time management skill . Also, since my Verbal is too weak , I am not at all surprised with the verbal score too .

Score in each section is pretty similar to what I got during my MGMAT and Powerprep mock tests . I understand that I may apply in few colleges with this score but probably I will not get any scholarship , without which I cannot afford my study. So, I am planning to retake the exam with a hope to score 700+ in next one month .

I need few suggestions here -

1. As you can understand , I need to improve my verbal score (at least to 38 from 33 ) . I have completed OG'12 , OG Verbal additional , Kaplan Premiere, Manhattan SC . I feel I am quite strong in SC but not in CR/RC . I am looking for any additional practice material for next one month . I am ready to take any suggestion from you guys to improve my overall verbal score .

2. Should I enroll for e-GMAT verbal course during this one month tenure ?

Thanks ,
Sayan

All of the resources you mentioned are great. You may just need more time to practice the strategies and techniques you've already learned. For RC, keep reading all of the GMAT-style passages you can find.

If you're interested in another resource for RC, we have a free module on the topic (all topics for that matter): https://www.gmatprepnow.com/module/gmat- ... prehension

Cheers,
Brent
