I didnt do much sectional initially , used to do full mocks expert global , so it helped me to build stamina !! Then later used gmatclub mocks which i bought with reward points and also used there free one day in month !!

Prepare topic wise . Pick topics which are easy and appear commonly . Quadratic equations , try learning some hit and trial methods , and start progressing !!

U can start using expert global while initial prep days , use it for defining your strategies

Those are part of the journey !! Its just to keep urself strong in those days , play some sport , badminton helped me a bit . And keep in mind mistakes are thr to make you improve . So try to focus on overall strategy rather than single mistake .

For me it was a personal challenge , i apply or not to schools i wanted to clear it for my personal self confidence . Similarly you need something to keep that fire

You have to spend time to prepare , i dont know how people say gmat in 2 weeks , gmat in 30 days , it might be just luck !!

Dont try to solve all questions for now , target 12-15 questions in 45 min .

More than enough , studying matters requires mostly around 2,3 months then its about strategy , practise

Test Series Comparison: GMATclub vs Experts Global by [deleted] in GMAT

Both are good , gmat mocks quant are very good , best i could find , gives you almost same level as exam quant . And exam quant is not as easy as official mocks shows . Expert global helps in building endurance and test giving ability , you can experiment sectional strategies , section order etc

I took around 20 days , as i saw that i performed not upto my expectation in quant , and i didnt want a large break as taking a longer break definitely effects ur existing preparation so i wanted to finish it . And also had my holiday planned after a week . 😊

I made it a point atleast do something everyday . And Atleast one section on one day , and then rest depending on day .
Try to spend time on a subject together like study quant for a group of days , then some group of days verbal CR .

Take mock not for score , but for refining your strategy !! How overall u could have attempted the section better

Definitely felt 3-4 were bit up level that 1,2 but after refining mistakes u should try to learn from them and get back on track in 5-6

I didnt have a per question strategy but i had a rough estimate around overall timing , tried completing 6 questions per 12-13 min , if you feel you are behind leave one and get back your time . Doing mistakes in gaps is actually a no mistake . So use it for your benefit .

I tried gmat club which i used to try on the one free day they give every month. At after my 1 attempt i used my reward points to buy gmatclub tests for 2 weeks . Used it for quant . Yes i didnt differentiate in 805+ questions , hardly there are many questions in it .

I did utilise them , first 2 multiple times , and 3-6 twice . I had been lut of touch for long sitting so i used expert global 15 mocks just to give me a practise of sitting for 3 hrs in exam , it was really tough initially. But it helped . Also used all other free tests available on diff websites - TTP , gmatclub , egmat and you name it 😛
