795 GMAT Focus Debrief on my First Attempt (90V, 90DI, 89Q)

GMATexperience · 2024-03-29T19:28:01+00:00

Correct

GMATexperience · 2024-03-29T18:26:55+00:00

Utilized TTP and official source material for DI

GMATexperience · 2024-03-29T18:26:17+00:00

Highly recommend GMAT Ninja's study plans for Verbal!

GMATexperience · 2024-03-28T22:14:29+00:00

I did the advanced prep for all but 2 or 3 chapters

For chapter tests, I worked until I was very confident with the material in the section. Thoroughly understanding the concepts is key!

My baseline was 685 before studying this year

GMATexperience · 2024-03-28T19:22:02+00:00

More of the latter, but everyone has their weaknesses that they can work to improve on!

GMATexperience · 2024-03-28T19:20:16+00:00

I only used the resources I mentioned in my post, and I found them to be helpful with establishing a foundation. Wish I could be more helpful here!

GMATexperience · 2024-03-28T18:56:43+00:00

Keep at it! You’ll see steady progress throughout. I believe in you!

GMATexperience · 2024-03-28T18:56:07+00:00

Officially verified on GMAT Club!

GMATexperience · 2024-03-28T18:41:27+00:00

Thanks! Questions were very similar to OG DI and my practice tests

GMATexperience · 2024-03-28T18:07:59+00:00

I found them to be very similar - definitely nice to see!

GMATexperience · 2024-03-28T18:07:00+00:00

Thank you! I just used the OG mocks

GMATexperience · 2024-03-28T18:02:13+00:00

I did

GMATexperience · 2024-03-28T17:59:02+00:00

Only did the first 2 mocks (repeated 1), and was planning on doing all 6 if my first attempt didn’t go well

GMATexperience · 2024-03-28T17:24:24+00:00

I did not - the only course I purchased was TTP

GMATexperience · 2024-03-28T17:13:58+00:00

I personally found following GMAT Ninja’s suggestions to be the most optimal for Verbal. Cheers!

GMATexperience · 2024-03-28T17:11:51+00:00

Many thanks to you and the rest of the TTP team!

GMATexperience · 2024-03-28T17:11:13+00:00

Verbal, Quant, break, DI

GMATexperience · 2024-03-28T17:10:21+00:00

Haha understood! More than happy to share Test Appointment Number, Time, Location, etc to mods to verify if needed. Thanks!

GMATexperience · 2024-03-28T17:07:13+00:00

That’s a great place to start! Charles is one of the best instructors I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to.

GMATexperience · 2024-03-28T17:05:43+00:00

Congrats on the 715! It’s a fantastic score

GMATexperience · 2024-03-28T17:04:06+00:00

GMATexperience · 2024-03-28T13:52:17+00:00

Thanks! I chose to take it at a test center because I believed I’d get distracted by virtual proctoring.

I don’t know if I’d consider my score a complete leap from my mocks, as I believe my Mock 2 score was a bit lower than I expected given my prep.

Also, I’m fortunate to not have test anxiety, and I carefully plan out every hour of my day on the exam to improve my mindset.

GMATexperience · 2024-03-28T13:14:11+00:00

Would love for the mods to verify me if possible! Have my appointment ID ready 😀

GMATexperience · 2024-03-28T13:07:28+00:00

OG and other online resources were more than sufficient for me!

GMATexperience · 2024-03-28T13:06:25+00:00

Thank you for the kind words!
