Hi! Thanks for the great video.
If you were to take 2 mocks from Gmat Club & Experts Global Mocks, would you choose one from each source, or take 2 tests from Gmat Club?

[@anuragwadhwa5990]

It really depnds on person to person, for me, I would choose 1 from each since both of them have pros and cons and taking both would diversify my question types

[@Pointcatcher]

Thank you so much

[@Pointcatcher]

@@anuragwadhwa5990 thank you for your answer. Did you take 8 of Gmat club first, and moved on to take Experts Global or did you take tests in a cyclical way (Gmat club => experts global => gmat club => experts global)

[@SOMNATHGHOSH-ph5mi]

which 20 mocks did he give?

[@anuragwadhwa5990]

Hi Somnath as mentioned in the session I took GMAT Club 8 Mocks and 15 Experts Global Mocks

@@anuragwadhwa5990 what was your section order for mocks and the final exam?

[@anuragwadhwa5990]

​I tried a lot of different orders and what worked for me in the end was Quant (Strongest) -> DI (Stronger) -> Break -> Verbal (Weakest). Also quant allowed me a virtual break of 10 mins​ as I was done with it very early @@karanbadalia4437

@@karanbadalia4437 I tried a lot of different orders and what worked for me was Quant(Strongest) -> DI (Stronger) -> Break->Verbal (Weakest). There is no right order it all depends on your personality and what suits you. I chose Quant first because it was my strongest and gave me confidence and a virtual break of 10-12 mins before attempting DI

@anuragwadhwa5990 Hi Anurag, i bought experts global mocks after listening to your advice. Though m not getting a good score in DI in the mocks. Would appreciate if you could share ur DI score on these mocks right before the actual test. Wil help me gauge my performance.

[@anuragwadhwa5990]

Hi my score ranged from 82 to 89 in the mocks and for pracice I used Gmat Clubs Question banks and sectional tests. I was particularly weak in MSR so targeted those questions more. To gauge your weak point see where you get most of the questions wrong and practice those harder. Thank you
