Hey there GMATers,
I recently got the test and got a 640 (42 Q 35 V ); I want to retake it so I can boost my score by at least 50 points.
I understand that I have to focus on my weak points and make a Study plan (Do you know a place/article about how to make an effective study plan? ). The problem that I had during my last prep was that my GMAT prep lacked a proper Study plan which I now believe is really integral to achieving a great score.
When I sat for my test, I realized that my weak point in Verbal was RC and CR. In fact there was a point when I wasted so much time on this particular monster of a passage that I was behind schedule and ended up spending less time on other questions. Even towards the end, I felt that some of the CR questions were very tough. Before I clicked the button to show my score, I actually thought I would get an exceptionally low score, but fortunately it was not so.
That being said, I need to strengthen certain areas in Quant, Verbal (especially RC, CR) and I also need to build a strategy to work on my timing (especially in verbal)
I have come across 2 such GMAT prep courses which seem really good:
1) Knewton GMAT Prep
2) E GMAT(SC and CR)
I am in two minds about whether I should go only for the Knewton course, which offers the entire package (Does the 50 pt guarantee hold true in India as well? ) or the Egmat clubbed with Knewton (though I am not sure e gmat offers an RC course, which I need). In addition, I have also heard that EGMAT has a certain point guarantee as well, can anybody highlight how this works?
Furthermore, I have heard that the only difference between Knewton On demand and Live is that the latter has live tutoring whereas the on demand version doesn't. They also mention that there are 12 videos for reference; Are there 12 videos per topic or 12 videos totally? (I'm a bit apprehensive because this is my 2nd attempt and I want to make right decisions and make the most of it!)
I know i have come very close, and i now finally want to 'Beat the GMAT' and get into the 700s Club!
Best Regards,
aJ
