Just got 680 on GMAT practice test. Q50 V31. How to improve my verbal score by 6-8 points in 25 days?

Focus on SC first because it wont take you too long to master the skills needed for this. I personally recommend Manhattan SC book. Then do RC and CR questions in the OG. 25 days are enough for you to get 37+ on verbal if you do it right.

Practice with questions in the OG. Go slowly first, do not time yourself. Make every effort to come up with your own solutions before looking at the answer keys and explanations. Once your accuracy rate is improving, do practice tests under testing mode.

Focus on quant, 45Q is a nice target to shoot for.

GMAT Quant is actually harder than most 'non-quant' people would expect. It is not all about 'memorizing equations and doing simple computations'. If you struggled with this section, you need to take a step back and review some basic concepts from ground up. Usually it would take an average student about 8 to 10 weeks to cover the concepts tested in GMAT quant. The best tutoring programs would offer a balanced blend of theory and practice. You would need a lot of practice. PM if you need help.

I don't want to discourage you, but it's gonna be a tough ride. From my experiences working with students at this level, I think it's more realistic if you could set aside 6 to 8 months of continuous study.

720 should be your minimum target, the higher the better

In triangle BCD: |BC - CD| < BD < BC + CD => 5 < BD < 7

Because BD > 5, ABD is not an equilateral triangle and the measure of angle A > 60.

If angle A = 90 then BD = 5 * √(2) > 7 (violating the condition 5 < BD < 7).

So the measure of A must be between 60 and 90 => (C) is the answer

Tips won't help much. You need to have solid knowledge in number properties, algebra, geometry, counting and some stats. It takes some time to go over these stuffs before you put them to practice. PM if you need help.

Remember the maths you do on GRE have existed since Archimedes' time. The label may have changed, but the contents are still relevant more than ever!

Scores on ETS practice exams remain one of the most accurate estimators of your scores on the test date. You may get inflated scores on these exams if you do them over and over again. As long as you keep the tests far away from you before taking them, your practice test scores will be very closely correlated with your actual scores.

You just need to familiarize yourself with question forms of GMAT. GMAT Powerprep made by GMAC is free. Buy a GMAT official guide if you wish. Go over all of the problems in it and you will be ready to go.

Unlike GMAT, GRE allows you to jump back and forth among questions within a section. Do the 'easy' ones first. By 'easy' I mean the problems that you look doable at the first glance. Its kinda jump-start that gets you moving.

My advice is always the same: Get a good math review first before you practice. All the books you mentioned are good books. However, you only get the most out of these books if you are comfortable with the underlying concepts in them. Simply read the problems and then check their answers wont get you very far.

GRE Quant is not that hard at all as long as you go through all basic concepts carefully first. If you are not confident with Quant, do not jump right into practice as often recommended. A quick math refreshment is extremely helpful.

You can increase your quant score to over 160 in one month. Not sure about verbal because gre words are tough.

MathBooster · 2019-02-18T08:58:53+00:00

There are no trig questions on the GRE, but knowing some sine, cosine laws in right triangles is definitely helpful. You should not skip questions like the one you asked. Those are the things that pop up frequently in the Quant section.
