Hi guys,
Thank you, Eric, for this forum, it is very helpful and loaded with resources. I'm hoping to get some tips from the wonderful contributors about where to put my study time - quant or verbal.
I just took my first GMATPrep test and scored 720, 48Q and 41V. Now I know the score sounds good, but I didn't do the AWA (so an hour less exhausted) and I get super nervous in test rooms (took the GRE 3 times, I would know!).
At first it looked to me like my Quant was stronger because of the higher "raw" score, but when I looked up the percentiles, it says 48Q is 83rd percentile and 41V is 92nd percentile. So does that mean my verbal is actually stronger?? Which area should I concentrate in to get the biggest score increase for my time?
During the test, the math seemed quite difficult and I had to guess at the end whereas I finished the verbal with 15 minutes remaining. In quant, it was the concept mixtures that threw me for a loop; in verbal I had a thoroughly bad time with RC, though got some SC wrong as well. So there are many things I can improve in, but I'm afraid to exhaust myself. Where would you recommend to focus?
Thanks for any ideas!
