had my first GMATprep test today and scored a 560 (Q35, V31)
I have studied for 2 weeks now and I just focused on math.
I was surprised about my verbal score, because one year ago I got V22 in the real exam.
In contrast, my math score is still quite low and I just improved by 4 points and I studied quite hard the last two weeks.
I had also much time left after I finished math (10 minutes) & verbal (10 minutes).
So, what do you guys think? I have 16 days left for preparation and I can do up to 8 hrs per day.
Optimally, I would score a 600.
Thanks.
If I were you,I would refrain from doing OG quant.The reason is that those questions are outdated and are not representative of GMAT of today. Instead use the btg forum [which btw has excellent questions and explanations from experts] and the 198 700+ level questions.You wouldn't like to go to the test center and be shocked at the high level of quant questions; would you?Even if you have to do OG quant,just do the last 10-20% of the questions.After that the quality drops precipitouslyHotstev wrote:Any more tips for the last two weeks? My strategy is to do all the OG math questions (+Review) over and over again until I can solve every question without any problems. Then I will do 3-4 times GMATprep to improve my timing, which is still very bad (as I mentioned, I had 10 minutes left after each section - so I was too fast)
Regarding verbal, I will just do some RC, CR and SC but not very intense. I hope I can get V25-30 in the real test, but some passages are quite hard for me to understand.
