Re: Practice exams, timeline and strategy

Thanks a ton ! Yup. I am not that rigid about 750 but also can not keep a lower target to begin with. I am going ahead with the 31st date and hoping that it works out. I went through the mentioned blogs. They were very helpful. Will try to focus on the low hanging fruits and on a comprehensive revie...

Re: Practice exams, timeline and strategy

Hi Stacey, Took the official exam a few weeks back. Scored 700 (IR-4, Quant-49 and Verbal 36). If you would go through my earlier post- it had outlined my studies and my scores on different exams. After that I had taken the 4th GMAT Prep and scored 750 ( Quant 49 + Verbal 42) with IR and essay. The ...

Re: Practice exams, timeline and strategy

Thanks for the reply. 1. Weaknesses- They are actually RC and SC. I have started to review these areas already with the new Manhattan strategy guides. Hope that is good enough for a score improvement. 2. New Questions: I started doing the OG 10 after a PEA in Jan/Feb. But overall finding new questio...

Re: Practice exams, timeline and strategy

Yup. I am working during the week. GMAT 9 week problem is that it finishes after my target exam date of 20th August. Yes, I got the new navigator. But it does not have explanations of any questions-even the old question form OG 15. Hope they figure it out soon. Planning to stick to GMAT interact onl...

Re: Practice exams, timeline and strategy

Hi Stacey, Retaking the exam on the 20th itself. Scored 720 in last MGMAT and 730 in official GMAT Prep1. Aiming for 730-750. Finally I have realized that my biggest weakness is timing on Verbal. In quant I have got used to the 2 min pacing and that is helping me score 49-50 consistently. But with v...

Re: Practice exams, timeline and strategy

Hi Stacey, Thanks for the quick response. Yes, will try the interact method to organize my yellow pad in the coming exam. GMAT Prep question bank actually works better when it comes to making mixed verbal sets. so working with that for sets of 8 questions. By now, I think I have overanalyzed my perf...

Re: Practice exams, timeline and strategy

You just guessed it. It is full underlined SC' s- take more time as well. RC on the mocks is actually pretty strong. So I will stick to skipping some SC questions. Scored 750 on the last GMAT prep exam. 50 + 41. Taking the final exam on the 20th Thanks a lot for all your help. Will keep you posted. ...

Re: Practice exams, timeline and strategy

Hi, Scored 720 Quant 49 , Verbal 40. A 20 point improvement from my last take but less than what was scoring in the mock exams. My target score was 730. Also in IR scored dropped to 3 and I am concerned about its negative impact on my overall MBA application. Skipped questions this time so timing wa...
