I just got a 680 (Q 37, V 46), but I wanted above a 700. I'm considering taking it again, but don't know where to start. I know I need to work on:

- timing in the Quant
- DS for yes or no questions
- permutations/combinations
- probability

I did well on the verbal, but I could always do better!

Any suggestions on next steps, or strategies to improve on those few areas that really need help? Should I pay for a class (I didn't take one before)? Or for private tutoring on just those area I need help with?

Thanks in advance!

Congrats!


Wow, I would take that Verbal score in a heartbeat. I think its easier in your case to fix the quant score. U would be in the 700-730's easily with 40-45 in quant with that verbal score


What materials did u use for DS? What specific problems are u having with yes/no ds? I think the key (u may alreayd know this) is if u can get a definite yes or a definite no then its makes the stament SUFFICIENT in answering the question

Also did u get a lot of perm/com/prob problems? I have heard it's possible to get 2 or 3 at the max
