Hi Nilgirio72,

Each CAT/mock is really a 'measuring device' - when used correctly, it will give you a realistic score and help define your strengths and weaknesses, but it will NOT help you to fix any of those weaknesses. To raise your scores, you have to learn the necessary Tactics and put in the proper practice and repetitions. The CAT will show you whether your studies are helping you to improve or not. In addition, the process of taking (and reviewing) a CAT requires a significant amount of energy and effort - and takes time to 'recover' from. This is one of the reasons why you typically should not take more than 1 CAT per week - and your last CAT should be taken about 1 week before Test Day. With a January 28th Test Date, you might be okay taking 2 CATs before then, but you should NOT take any more than that.

I'd like to know a bit more about your current timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi Nilgirio72

Usually if there's marginal improvement with lots of study time, then the problem is with your FOCUS. It's simple: if you don't know exactly WHY your score is below expectations in Q and V, then you can't focus your prep and you end up in the very typical 20% efficiency trap (only 20% of the time you spend is contributing towards a score improvement and the remaining 80% is adding no score value).

How do you flip that to 80-90% efficiency of prep? By getting a clear picture of your gaps in Q and V. And a lot of it has to do with Test Taking Skills / Approach. The GMAT is a test of reasoning (not a Math or English test). It rewards you equally for conceptual fundamentals and how you approach the reasoning through each question. Unless you break down your approach to each question type and fix the gaps, you'll never reach your score potential / target.

We offer a FREE 90 minute diagnostic session -- it's LIVE ONLINE with a GMAT Performance Coach. We simulate a real GMAT test and diagnose your gaps in test taking skills along with flagging conceptual gaps. All our clients find it to be incredibly empowering with the clarity it suddenly gives them around why they're falling short on test day.
