This is my first post, but I've been reading lately the forum, and it has been of a really great help!

I got today a 550 Q32/V25 on 1 of the GMAT prep tests and it was kind of disappointing, as I have been practicing for about 4 months.

English is not my native language.

I’ve completed OG11 and some other guides.

Quant: I’ll review the basics. I got stuck with some silly questions.

Verbal: The majority of the incorrect answers are from Sentence Correction. Any thoughts on how to improve on this? It’s getting hard to spot the several types of errors.


Is it possible to go within 3 weeks from a 550 to a 650+?

Any advice you can give me will be greatly appreciated!! :)

Thanks!!

I'm not sure if it's possible or impossible for you to go from 550 to 650 in 3 weeks - that's really based on personal ability and study habits. There have certainly been other members who have achieved just that.

SC is the easiest area to make quick gains in so you're in luck if that's your major weakness. Get the MGMAT SC book and go through it thoroughly - it's a pretty good book particularly for non-native speakers.
