Hi everyone,

I am 30 days away from the big day and need some advice planning the rest of the study period.

Over the past couple months, I've reviewed all 8 Manhattan Gmat strategy books and OG guide. I have also take Prep exam #1 and 4 MG CAT exams. Scores range climbed steadily from 610 - 690. Then I retook the Prep exam #1 and got 630 and 760 (may be due to the fact that I saw the same questions).

I'm worried about the inconsistency even after covering all the topics. I still get stumped on math tricks even though I think I get the basics of each Math concept.

I plan to review the MG strategy books again and take a few more practice. Please provide your feedback and any suggestions!

Thank you~

There are various ways you can use to practise for your GMAT. You might need to change your practise style and try this combination to provide you flexibility and different styles to practise so it doesn't get monotonous.

It could be combination of-

1-Books- Books like- The Official Guide for GMAT Review, The Official Guide for GMAT Verbal
Review, The Official Guide for GMAT Quantitative Review etc could be used.

2-Online Study Guide: Websites like Knewton, Grockit etc provide you with practise questions
online.

3-Smart phone applications- Kaplan, Veritas etc offer applications to prepare for GMAT on your
smart phones

Thanks!

I do like the math tests at GMATClub. They contain all 700+ level questions, so you will get used to dealing with questions that are just as hard or harder than any math questions you face on the real GMAT. I would give these a look for sure.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
