Hi all - I have been preparing for the GMAT over the last 3 months. This is my 3rd try.
GMAT 1: 530
GMAT 2: 560
I hope it would be a 3rd time lucky for me. My target score is 680 in order to get into the schools I want (HEC, IMD, INSEAD?).
Here are my CAT scores thus far:
All tests were taken under test conditions (AWA + IR + 8 mins + Quant + 8 mins + Verbal) except for the ECONOMIST SIM as they had no IR.
ECONOMIST SIM 1: 670 (Q42 V41) - 6 Dec 2014
ECONOMIST SIM 2: 660 (Q50 V32) - 13 Dec 2014
ECONOMIST SIM 3: 690 (Q48 V38) - 17 Dec 2014
ECONOMIST SIM 4: 640 (Q45 V34) - 20 Dec 2014
ECONOMIST SIM 5: 650 (Q49 V32) - 23 Dec 2014
ECONOMIST SIM 6: 630 (Q48 V30) - 27 Dec 2014
MGMAT CAT 3: 630 (Q39 V37) - 3 Jan 2015
MGMAT CAT 4: 690 (Q44 V39) - 10 Jan 2015
MGMAT CAT 5: 670 (Q44 V37) - 14 Jan 2015
MGMAT CAT 6: 670 (Q43 V38) - 25 Jan 2015
GMAT PREP 4: 720 (Q47 V41) - 3 Feb 2015
GMAT PREP 3: 660 (Q47 V34) - 7 Feb 2015
GMAT PREP 2: 710 (Q47 V40) - 13 Feb 2015
With 10 days left to the GMAT on 17 Feb. What should I be doing for the remaining 10 days before my test?
I have a GMATPREP 2 scheduled on the 13 Feb but that is about it.
Should I be putting more focus into my Verbal as that is what seems to be pulling me down?
Would appreciate some advice. Thanks in advance!

Hi bootherald,
From your practice CAT scores, and what you've described, it sounds like you're performing at the consistent level you need to be performing at to hit your goals. As such, you should probably keep "doing what you've been doing."
At this scoring level, the GMAT becomes really "sensitive" to little mistakes, so some review of the questions that you've gotten wrong on your CATs is probably in order. With these last 10 days, you should put some emphasis into eliminating the silly mistakes (which usually means that you have to take more/better notes). While your practice scores are really good right now, you're making some little mistakes in both the Quant and Verbal sections.

Posting an update:
I just took the GMATPrep 2 and I got a 710 (Q47/V40). This score is perfect for my confidence going into the GMAT (-30) in 4 days. For now, I just plan to go through all the mistakes I have made in this GMATPrep and revisit the mistakes made in the previous 2 GMAT Prep before taking the plunge.
