Hi Mr. Mike,
I have been a avid follower of your posts. I need some help from you. I appeared for my gmat today and I scored a dismal 610, Q 44 V 30. I am completely devastated. I took all my CATS in a perfectly timed environment and consistently scored in the 720-730 bracket. I thought I was very good in quant as I always scored above 90% in my high school as well as i am an engineer. In verbal I was inherently strong in SC and never missed a single question from
OG and GMATPREp. I am pretty weak at RC though. Any ways, I just dont understand how I could score a 610 after consistently scoring above 90 percentile in all practice CATS. I desperately need a 750+ score and hence I want your guidance. Please Please Please help me.Below mentioned are my CAT scores.
MGMAT CAT 1: 610 Q 44 V 32
MGMAT CAT 2: 730 Q45 V45
MGMAT CAT 3: 720 Q45 V 42
MGMAT CAT 4: 620 Q 40 V 35
MGMAT CAT 5: 720 Q45 V 42
GMAT PREP1 : 710 Q 48

OG or
Magoosh after going through a certain topic, the questions to be done are to be selected from the same topics orfrom any random topic.

GMAT PREP2: 730 Q 49 V 40

I'm happy to help.
. Over and above any GMAT prep you do, read at least an hour a day. Read challenging material --- if what you are reading is at all easy, you are not challenging yourself enough. Here are some suggestions on what to read:
Finally, there may be a subtle issue of practice vs. exam performance. Here are a few articles about managing exam anxiety:
