GMATPrep scores at 620 TWICE.

[jaleesfarhan]

Hi! I am stuck at 620 in GMAT prep. GMATPrep 1 - June 11. Then GMAT Prep 2 - July 1. Scoring 620 in both of them with a strikingly similar pattern (Quant 46/46, Verbal29/30) while I really worked hard after the first one. Getting stuck in the same areas every time in both verbal and quant. Can somebody suggest a change of approach for a better score on August 5 scheduled GMAT.

Weak areas: Verbal: SC (majority wrong), CR, RC ( just one or 2 wrong)
Quant: Functions, coordinates slopes etc., proportions (silly mistakes mostly), speed-time-distance qs (can solve devilish problems in practice within 2 mins but get stuck in actual timed practice test)

Help/suggestions/ sueggested approaches etc. badly needed.

regards

Hello, Jaleesfarhan! It sounds like you are on the right track, as you seem to have a good idea of your strengths and weaknesses and are taking plenty of practice exams.

However, our research department conduct a study, and did find some similarities in the study habits of students who did well on the exam: https://officialgmat.mba.com/2012/04/19/ ... mat-score/.
