Hi there!

I presented my exam in April 13 and I got 610 (quantitive 42, verbal 33). Even though it was not a bad score, I was looking for more, my expectation is to be accepted in a top 10 MBA program so I decided to prepare again the exam. It was programmed for June 1, however, I decided to re schedule it because the prep test were not what I was expecting, that is why I am going to use this study guide in order to improve my score in both sections.

I am a non native english speaker, should I dedicate more time to the verbal section? I am in the 4 day of the study plan and my results in the OG Diagnostic Test were not bad. PS Excellent, DS Excellent, RC above average, CR above average and SC above average.

My concern is about the new section of the exam (Integrated Reasoning), I noticed that we are using the Official Guide 12th edition, so I am not sure if we are going to cover this section during this two months.

Thanks a lot!

Hi hectorargente,

I just finished revising the Study Guide to include preparation for the IR section (and use the OG13); however it will be a few weeks until the new Guide is loaded into the email program.

One option is to follow the current Study Guide - it covers everything except IR. You'll have to find a resource that covers IR.

Cheers,
Brent

Hi Vicky_0007,

I've updated the Study Guide to feature an IR section. It just needs to be loaded into the email program.
I understand it will be ready in a few weeks.

Cheers,
Brent

Hey Brent,

I am currently on Day 25 of the old 60 day guide and was wondering how I could get an updated version of only the IR section as I am following the old books.

Thanks

By the way, this daily emailing guide has really helped me out a lot. I feel like I understand more of the material because it's so organized!

Hi tisrar02,

I'm glad to hear that the guide is helping you.

Unfortunately, we aren't set up to send emails out of order. You'll have to sign up for the new Study Guide to receive the IR-related emails.

Cheers,
Brent

What days of the new study guide includes the Integrated Reasoning section? I plan to take my test July 21st and wanted to get some extra practice and studying on the IR section. If I sign up now for the new study guide, will I receive the IR study plan in enough time? If not do you have any other suggestions for studying for the IR section of the GMAT?

Thanks!
