1 month to go until test day - how should I spend it?

[pcmdotcom]

Hello,

I have one month left until the test day. I have gone through and practiced the following:

MGMAT 5 books for quantitative
PowerScore for CR
MGMAT for SC
MGMAT for RC
ALL GMATprepnow vidoes

MGMAT CAT 1: 580 (Q 48 percentile, V 60 percentile) , that I took before starting my Prep for GMAT.
MGMAT question bank for Quant and Verbal

OG 13 - ALL questions (quant and verbal)

I have been studying for it for the last 3 months.

Can anyone please let me know what's the best way to spend my last month until the test day? I have 2 hours after work each day, plus two full days on the weekend.
Honestly speaking,I have had ample practice with the Quant but not as much with the Verbal. Please let me know what's the best way to practice for verbal as well.


Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

The GMAT is a test of your math and verbal skills AND it's a test of your test-taking skills. So, taking several practice tests is an important part of your prep. This will help you build your test-taking skills, and it will help you identify any remaining area(s) of weakness.

While analyzing your practice tests, there are four main types of weakness to watch out for:
1. specific Quant skills/concepts (e.g., algebra, standard deviation, etc.)
2. specific Verbal skills/concepts (e.g., verb tenses, assumption CR questions, etc.)
3. test-taking skills (time management, endurance, anxiety etc.)
4. silly mistakes

For the first two weaknesses, the fix is pretty straightforward. Learn the concept/skill and find some practice questions to strengthen that weakness. To focus on one topic at a time, you can use BTG's tagging feature to isolate one concept. For example, here are all of the questions tagged as statistics questions: https://www.beatthegmat.com/forums/tags/ ... statistics
See the left side of that linked page for more tag options.

If your test-taking skills are holding you back, then you need to work on these. For example, we have a free GMAT time management video at https://www.gmatprepnow.com/module/gener ... es?id=1244.

Finally, if silly mistakes are hurting your score, then it's important that you identify and categorize these mistakes so that, during tests, you can easily spot situations in which you're prone to making errors. I write about this and other strategies in the following article for BTG: https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2012/09/ ... n-the-gmat

Cheers,
Brent
