Hey everyone,
I've tried to frequent these boards as much as possible, even if I haven't been posting a lot, they are a great source of information and support. My GMAT date is August 17, and I can't help but feel burnt out at this point. Right now, I just feel that I've reached my potential and even if I studied extensively for the next 12 days, I would not improve. Unfortunately, I am working for the majority of the time before the exam, so while I do have some time to study, it isn't a lot. Here are my scores up until now...
June 3, 2011 - GMATPrep1 - 32Q/27V/500
July 6, 2011 - GMATPrep1 - 41Q/26V/560
July 10, 2011 - MGMAT1 - 35Q/32V/560
July 14, 2011 - MGMAT2 - 42Q/30V/590
July 17, 2011 - GMATPrep1 - 35Q/28V/540**
July 19, 2011 - MGMAT3 - 43Q/32V/620
July 25, 2011 - MGMAT4 - 44Q/34V/640
July 26, 2011 - MGMAT5 - 39Q/27V/540**
July 31, 2011 - Kaplan1 - 560**
Aug 4, 2011 - MGMAT6 - 43Q/30V/600
Aug 5, 2011 GMATPrep 2 - 38Q?/34V?/600
The ones with the stars by the final score indicate that I was distracted or wasn't really feeling like doing the exam, and it was definitely reflected in the scores. I couldn't find a breakdown for Kaplan, and I didn't realize that I couldn't go back to the score screen in GMATPrep when I did it today. I'm quite sure that my quant score was 38, so I think the verbal would be 34. I know for sure that the total was 600.
Anyways, I'm discouraged by these recent 600 scores, I would ultimately like to see at least a 620 or a 630 on the actual GMAT. I was also finally seeing some stability in my quant score, but it seems that it now has changed again. It seems like the scores tend to fluctuate quite a bit, and that makes me uneasy for the actual exam. When I did the GMATPrep exam today, I found verbal a bit difficult, but quant was okay, with the exception of a few questions, I thought I was doing better in it than I did, but I know for sure that I made a few silly mistakes early on.
I've mainly worked through the Manhattan guides, as well as most of the
OG material (as much as time permitted). I'm just looking for suggestions for what should be my game plan for the next several days before the exam. I will be doing as much review as I can, and hopefully some more sample exams. I'm a little bit discouraged at this point, so any suggestions or ideas would be
greatly appreciated!
Thanks...
