Want To Score 650 and Above [#permalink] New post   12 Nov 2009, 11:09
I was initially planning to take the test next week, but now with my last score which is 570 I am planning to reschedule it.
If you guys have seen my previous post I have scored really BAD the first time in GMAT. My target is to get 650 n above score.

Below are the Manhattan CAT that I took and the score.

Can u please suggest how to increase minimum 100 points?
Also will it be feasible to reschedule the test after 3-4 weeks (sometime in Mid December)

11-Nov Manhattan CAT Exam 3

Quantitative 41 (64% percentile)
Verbal 28 (51% percentile)
Total 570 (60% percentile)

02-Nov Manhattan CAT Exam 2

Quantitative 40 (61% percentile)
Verbal 28 (51% percentile)
Total 560 (57% percentile)

05-Oct Manhattan CAT Exam 1

Quantitative 39 (57% percentile)
Verbal 20 (21% percentile)
Total 500 (38% percentile)

Thanks in Advance

Are you still in the window to reschedule and still get some of the $$$?
If you reschedule less than 7 days out, you are not keeping almost any of your $$$, so it is worth taking the test and biting the bullet.

Before we start replying to you, You probably want to say what you have done and what materials you have used.

That's the right materials to use. Are you modifying the strategies that MGMAT gave and creating your own ways of approaching questions (It takes too long to follow the MGMAT strategy or they don't work for me?)

I gave GMAT prep and just go 470 with 31 in Quant and 23 in Verbal.

I have taken Manhattan Classes in sept- October. Also most of the material I am using is MGMAt which is suppose to be the best mateial.

This time i even notice that timing is Verbal was a issue. Also the acurracy level in 3 section is 50% - 60%.

I am really disappointed with the score but dont want to give me. Please advise what should I do to improve.

if you haven't already done OG 11 or OG 12, I would suggest solving all the questions and understanding the explanations given in the book. If you are confident with all the types of the problems in OG12 and master those by understanding the concepts and underlying problem solving-approach, I am sure you would definitely hit 650 minimum, assuming that your pressure taking is atleast average...

Re: Want To Score 650 and Above [#permalink] New post   23 Jan 2010, 19:19
I am finally writting my test on Monday. I have given all the Manhattan test and my score was 560 -580 with Quant- 38- 41 (61 percentile) and Verbal 28 -31. Its an improvement from where I have started that is 430, But not to what I want to achieve which is 650.

Are there any last min advice. Is it still possible to achieve more than 600 ?
