Plan to follow for Quant

[user5298]

I have only 2 months remaining to give my GRE and I started by giving a mock test in ETS with name PowerPrep 2. I scored 162 in Quant and 143 in Verbal. While giving the verbal in 1st section I felt overwhelmed by the amount of hard words they were giving so I was only able to correct 3 out of 12. In 2nd verbal since it got easier I was able to mark 9 out of 15. For Quant, when I reviewed the mistakes that I have made, I saw that they were silly mistakes.

But when I gave an untimed rapid fire round here: A full rapid-fire (or untimed) GRE Foundation Test - GregMat, I was just able to mark only 20 out of 30 correct. So I came to realize my foundation was not as strong as it should be since the cut off for a strong foundation was 24.

But still my Verbal in really very very weak. Since I am a working professional I am able to put maximum 3 hours on a weekdays. On weekends I am able to put 8 to 9 hours. I read the Study Plans FAQs : Study Plans FAQ | Greg Mat Helpdesk and since it says here to use 1 month for working professionals I started with the 1 month plan. There it says that:

I should switch to “I’m overwhelmed Plan” since it provides stronger quant foundation.

Also I have seen a few videos and I have seen that when Q/A are asked in between the lecture, it consumes a lot of time which if they were not there could save a lot of time which I could spend more efficiently for preparing for GRE.

So I have a time constraint of only 2 months and I need to focus more on Verbal (since is really really bad). For quant part I want to follow a series which would help save the time to be put into verbal but also give a strong knowledge so that I could score maximum (maybe even 170/170) in Quant.

Should I follow the 1hour long videos for Quant given in 1 month plan or should I follow I’m overwhelmed plan and follow Prepswift from there?

Also for Verbal I should the 1 hour long videos given in 1 month plan right? I want to maximise the score out of 340.

Study planning questions on the forums

I see a lot of posts on here from people who are asking for help with their study planning. Often these posts take the form of, “I’ve done abc and have def score - how do I get to xyz score?” A couple of observations and opinions (these do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Gregmat team): Often, the post has lots of details about what the person did, but nearly all these posts don’t provide much of a plan for people to comment on. There is a wealth of information on Gregmat about st…

Thank you so much for your valuable insights, sir — I truly appreciate your time. I just have one quick question: with only 2 months left and verbal being my main focus (and unfortunately not being in a position to afford tutoring), would you kindly advise whether I should follow the ‘I’m Overwhelmed’ plan for quant or stick with the 1-month plan?

Can you go to:

https://www.gregmat.com/skill-building/generated/vocab-check?mountain=vocab-mountain&wordCount=30&groupStart=1&groupEnd=22

Each time you click this, it generates a new test of random words. Can you do 3 of these and let me know your score out of 30 on each?
