What does test anxiety really look like on the GMAT? For many test takers, it does not look like a panic attack. Instead, it shows up as brain fog, rereading, negative comparisons, mental noise....

Hi guys,
I brushed up the OG questions for a month and took the 1st mock test from GMATprep.
Got only 560: Q44, V23, IR3
I Was expecting at least 650 or 680 since my accuracy levels during OG practice were good on the easy / medium difficulty questions and fairly better even in the difficult ones. I did not practice IR.
I did not have time to finish in any of the sections during the mock. So I had to randomly guess some of the questions. I am yet to review the test but I can tell even without reviewing that speed is the major concern.
During the next one month I intend to focus only on learning and applying concepts, techniques and strategies.
I intend to use some more books such as power score CR, Aristotle RC grail, Manhattan SC (I found these were most suggested in this forum).
Need some advice. I am targeting 720 in August 2019.

Hi Shorub,
Many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so with just one month of book-heavy study, it's likely that you just have not put in enough time and effort to score higher yet.
"Review" is an exceptionally important part of the GMAT training process; your ability to define WHY you're getting questions wrong is essential to defining the areas that you need to work on (and the specific things that you need to 'fix'). As such, I'd like to know a bit more about your last CAT. While a full Mistake Tracker would provide a lot more information, there are some basic questions that you should be able to answer (and the more EXACT you can be with your answers, the better):
After reviewing each section of this recent CAT, how many questions did you get wrong....
1) Because of a silly/little mistake?
2) Because there was some math/verbal that you just could not remember how to do?
3) Because the question was too hard?
4) Because you were low on time and had to guess?
5) How many Verbal questions did you 'narrow down to 2 choices' but still get wrong?

Hi Rich,
I reviewed my test. Here is the analysis.
Score - 560 Q44 V23 IR4
Incorrect questions - Q 15, V 14, IR 7
Quant - Incorrect
1. Question numbers - 2.3.5.8,16,17,19,24 to 31 (Last 8 - all wrong)
2. Question types - Quant 9, DS 6
3. Reasons
a. Wrong calculations / was not confident about the answer - 1 (Numbers), 2 (Algebra), 1 (Set theory), 1 (Arithmetic)
b. Could not workout but could solve it after test - 1 (Numbers), 1 (Statistics)
c. Silly mistake - 1 (Co-Geometry), 1 (Percentage), 1 (Fraction)
d. Did not workout (Low on confidence) - 1 (Permutation)
e. Did not workout (Low on time) - 1 (Numbers), 1 (Statistics), 1 (Percentage)
f. Fundamentals related - 1 (Co-Geometry)
Verbal - Incorrect
1. Question numbers - 1,4,6,8,10,11,12,15,16,17,20,22,34,36 (Within first 18 - 10 wrong / Within next 18 - only 4 wrong)
2. Question types - SC 4, CR 4, RC 6
3. Further categories / Reasons
a. SC - Silly mistakes (parallelism with conjunction, missed out verb "are", Did not identify a plural noun), did not use the test strategy used during practice.
b. CR - Overlooked / Did not read properly - Time pressure
c. RC - Primary purpose and Inference questions - Did not take notes
IR - Incorrect
1. Question numbers - 2,4,5,8,9,10,11 (Last 4 - Wrong)
2. Reasons - Completely unprepared with the format of these questions / Time pressure.
Looking forward to your views.

Hi Shorub,
Your analysis is quite helpful - as it defines a number of different areas that you need to work on. In two different posts, you noted different Score Goals (one stated 720, the other stated 750), but both those Goals require the same degree of content knowledge, Tactical approaches and consistent, organized work on your part (meaning proper note-taking and no silly mistakes).
Raising a 560 to the point that you can consistently score 720+ will likely require at least another 3 months of consistent, guided study - and you'll have to make significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level. With a planned August Test Date, you could conceivable hit your Goal Score in the time that you have, but you'll have to be really 'efficient' with your studies going forward.
1) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
2) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
3) Going forward, how many hours do you think you can consistently study each week?
