GMAT Strategy for last 7 days

First of all, thank you for your replies!

My weakness is the SC question type. RC works out really well and CR is probably alright.

1)
In SC, I usually come to two remaining options and then, independent from the level of the question, take the wrong one about 70% of the time. It's very frustrating, thus, I already though about just choosing the other answer in questions where I am not 100% sure with my answer.
2)
Yes I took the entire CATs, only one was without the essay. (edit: I took them today, yesterday and around a week ago) Moreover, I did not take them in an optimal environment (open library, lots of people moving around, quiet noisy).
3)
It's already this Thursday 11 a.m. GMT +0. I will use tomorrow (Sunday) to practise Essay and especially IR again, Monday to eliminate last problems in the Quant Section and use Tuesday and Wednesday to review my typical error pattern. (I practise around 8 hours a day, not just part time)

Hi JAYEM,

Taking 3 CATs in a week was too much work - so you have to be careful about how you spend these last few days. You do NOT want to 'cram' or do too much (so you shouldn't take any more CATs); you'd be better served doing some light review and getting some extra rest.

Hey guys,

interestingly I got a V40Q47 today and a total of 710 what is perfectly fine!

Thank you for your support and this great source a practise.

Hi JAYEM,

That's outstanding news! A 710/Q47 is a fantastic performance (and puts you right around the 90th percentile overall), so you should apply to any Business Schools that interest you. Did you end up spending a little extra time at the end of your studies on the Verbal section?

1) Do you know which Schools you plan to apply to?
2) When are you planning to apply?

Excellent! Looking forward to the debrief.

As I am an undergraduate business student in the a Bologna Bachelor's program, I will apply for the HSG M.A. in SIM and the HEC MiM. I considered the schools in London as well, but as those programs are open for all undergraduate majors, (which definitely has its pros) I am afraid that there will be a large overlap. I will graduate in 2017 and I currently do not plan to do a gap year or to take a full-time position.

I will write my debrief this week but perhaps in a new thread.

Hi JAYEM,

When applying to Schools that are highly competitive (or receive lots of applicants), it's important to make sure that you have a strong OVERALL application AND that you're presenting yourself correctly to each Admissions Committee. As such, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:
