Hi,
I am a non-native English speaker, who lives in Geneva (Switzerland) and would like to apologize in advance for mistakes I could make.
I recently graduate from a french university and want to pursue my studies with a master (have applied for 10 different schools). To that end, I have to take and pass the GMAT with a score of at least 550. However, I settle my goal to 600. I was impressed to read amazing experiences from GMAT Club members so I decided to write mine and by the way ask some useful advices.![:)]( "Smile")
One-month is a really short time period for the GMAT preparation but I don't have the choice. I already read all the key parts of the GMATClub and it provides me with some useful information and tools (error log, gmat timer, schedule, online courses, ...). I want to thank the GMATClub staff and active members for that!
I have already taken:
[2 days ago] The diagnostic test of the OG 13th edition (PS: average; DS: average; RC:above average; CR: above average; SC: below average)
[1 day ago] The GMAT Prep Test 1 ( Quant:35 Verbal:20 IR:4) and got 470
Is one-month of hard-working (i'm willing to study 8hours/day everyday) enough to improve by 130 points?
My biggest weakness as a non-native English speaker is the sentence correction questions where I always pick the wrong answer.... I read that it is better to start with the quant part and some other times with the weakest part, which is in my case SC ?! Which one I need to start studying with ?
I am willing to pay for online courses but am a bit confused between MGMAT, Kaplan and other companies for the quant part(best choice?). Concerning the verbal part, Egmat looks really interesting to me. However, is it worth it to pay to have access to their content if I have only one month? For information, I already have the 13th edition OG Review + Quant OG Review + Verbal OG Review and have also created trial accounts with The Economist (GMAT Tutor) and Egmat.
