Verbal stat from GMAT CAT

by TheGuest » Sun Jan 30, 2011 3:07 pm
Hi,

I was wondering if you can help me out.

I am looking at my recent GMAT CAT result (Verbal). I have

11 questions in 700-800 range where I got ALL wrong =(
18 questions in 600-700 range where I got 7 wrong
12 questions in 500-600 range where I got 3 wrong

I think these 11 wrong 700-800 range questions killed my score. Do you agree? I think to bump up the score I need to focus now on harder questions. Do you think it would be a right approach? If yes are there good practice questions in that score range? I have OG12 and 8 MGAM study guides + Princeton review book.

Thanks in advance,
TheGuest

Don't ignore the concepts. And you should master the OG12 before you move on to additional material. I learnt the lesson the hard way.

Thanks for your reply. What do you mean by "master the OG12"?

I think he means understanding the logic behind every correct answer, and learning to follow the reasoning of the OG explanations. You might want to go back and create an Error Log to keep track of the questions you find yourself missing repeatedly or just not understanding.

"Harder" questions often just combine more than 1 concept. I agree - you should find out which concepts you are not quite getting and focus on building your knowledge that way. :)
