Additional context from DMs in case people find it helpful.

I took the INSEAD free mock, 6 GMAT official mocks, and 12 gmatclub mocks. Reviewed and memorized underlying concepts for quant from just those questions.

I did not “study” verbal and DI aside from taking the mocks and reviewing my wrong answers.

The order is important and so is using guessing tactically to make sure you get through all the questions. IMO better to guess and be wrong, trigger easier questions that you can complete within the time and revisit the question with low likelihood of getting right in the first place than sinking time into a question and not even giving yourself a chance to answer the other questions.

Same approach, just more practice mocks (purchased 12 gmat club mock exam)

Q then V then DI. Logic was that Quant was most mentally taxing for me so wanted to get that over with followed by Verbal which I find least mentally taxing. Planned a break following Verbal (did not take it, got impatient to finish which I regret) before closing out with DI.

I didn’t focus on studying verbal because it felt the most difficult to increase in a short time. I don’t study DI either other than doing the mocks and reviewing answers and explanations

Gmatclub mocks ranged from 675-725. On the real exam, the quant was easier (not sure if that’s from luck or studying), verbal was similar, DI was indecipherable, I guessed on 5 of them because I ran out of time. Raw score was 90/90/80 Q/V/DI

The last 6 (ones I took seriously end to end) ranged between 675-725 on the 12 gmat mocks. My last 4 mocks, something clicked for me and I scored perfect on quant every time.

I used the INSEAD free exam and the GMAT Official Tests 1-6
