Re: I seriously need some advice [#permalink]
I have an error log, but I didn't attempt the wrong questions one more time. I just jotted down notes on what to look for in similar questions to get them right.

Maybe doing all those wrong answered questions again would be a good start to improve my score. Considering that my quant is around 46 and my verbal around 36, it might be a good idea to focus more on the verbal part, as I see room for improvement there. Additionally, considering the imbalance of the two parts, one point improvement in verbal would be more beneficial than one point more in quant.

I read in another post that taking one simulated test per week should be considered the maximum. So my recent drop in scores can probably be attributed to the fact that I took 5 tests that week. After taking the test, I analyzed it on the same day, so basically I spent the whole day on the GMAT for a couple of days. That was probably too much for me and it worked for the first 3 of them, but then started to drag me down into depths of bad scores.

I scheduled an appointment in two weeks and during that time I was planning on doing two more tests plus analyzing them. Besides that focusing on my error log and doing all the CR and SC questions that I got wrong in the first place would be a good idea. Though, very strange is that I have absolutely no trouble with the MGMAT RCs and get them right almost all the time. However, on the GMAT prep I get a lot of them wrong and often times I don't even get what the passage wants to tell me. Are they harder on the real test, respectively on the GMAT prep?
