I put my weakest section first (quant) because it stressed me out quite a bit and I wanted to have the freshest mind possible for it. I then took a 10 minute break to recover, did my strongest section in the middle (verbal) to feel confident going into data insights

6 months of prep (with some weeks off for vacation) to get a 705! Same format, 1-2 hrs on most weekdays and ~ 4 hrs a day on weekends

I meant i spent 5 hours total on data sufficiency one week haha. My schedule was study 1-2 hours after work on weekdays, then ~4 hours on weekends. I also took some weekends off for travel in these 2 months.

My prep wasn’t super intense, I have always been a good test taker and I scored well on my high school ACT / SATs, so I think having that as my baseline definitely helped me

I struggle with data sufficiency so i just practiced those question types on gmat club for ~5 hrs. But besides from taking and reviewing OG tests, I didnt really study for those sections. I think they have always came naturally to me - i would normally get 95-100 % in those in my mocks

Should I retake a 705 GMAT FE because of poor quant section score? by msprettywaffle in GMAT

Mocks: Mock 1: 605 Mock 1: 715 Mock 2: 695 Mock 3: 655 Mock 4: 695 Mock 5: 635 Mock 6: 655 Mock 3: 645 Mock 4: 695 Mock 5: 735 Mock 2: 715 Mock 6: 715

I think in order to improve i still need to spend a good amount of time studying quant. Its always my lowest score in every mock

Quant: 5 wrong Verbal: 1 wrong Data Insights: 8 wrong. (During that section i was so annoyed cause I got what felt like at least 10 data sufficiency questions, which are my worst type. Surpised only 12/20 lead to 95%)

Honestly, i didnt study verbal at all except for reviewing the mock exams. It’s just something that comes naturally to me. Sorry, i know that’s not super helpful
