Diagnostic

I kick-started my GMAT prep by taking a diagnostic test to see where I stand without any preparation.

To get an appropriate appraisal of the situation, I went for the GMAT ProwerPrep software which gives us the closest indication.

How much did I score? 640

Quant: 47

Verbal: 31

Total: 640

I just went through the questions which I got wrong to do an analysis of the xam.

The Quant topics which I need to concentrate are:

ratios, Cordinate Geometry(more), Simple Interest(more), Sets, Profit and Loss

In Verbal more than 85% of the questions which I got wrong are Sentence Correction. One found revelation I got was I am pretty good at Critical Reasoning.

Result: I need to improve my score by more than 100 points to reach my target score: 750
