Hi Guys,
This is my first post. I have given a mock GMAT test a month ago(MGMAT) and got 590 (42Q 30V) and then i analyzed that i had to improve quite a lot considering i am aiming at 710+. i focussed on my weaker areas and gave the test again(MGMAT)recently to realize i got a 660 (50Q 31V). I have 2 weeks for my actual test and though i have practiced over the last two months - just sitting through the test is making me feel exhausted. As the verbal section pops up - i just want to get it done ( I am losing the focus and letting an "i dont care attitude" in) and ofcourse i wanna fix this. Also, RC is my biggest problem area ( Similar experience in reading lengthy paragraphs) i am an active reader and read plenty of novels, this is the first time i am experiencing something of this sort. Would appreciate any kind of help as i wanna give my best on first attempt of GMAT itself. (scheduled in 15 days)
Thanks,
Akhila

Hi Akhila,
What's your goal total score? I see your primary issue is the verbal section. Verbal can be fixed however 2 weeks is too short a time to expect any miracles.
If you can, I'd strongly advise you to consider rescheduling. I get the impression that you know you're not ready but still are hoping to hit your target score on the first attempt. It can happen, however in most cases it doesn't.
I've already wasted 2 attempts and wouldn't advise to go for the GMAT unless you're sure you're ready to achieve your goal score.

Hi Akhila,
Unfortunately, retaking a CAT that you've already taken almost always leads to an unrealistic, 'inflated' score result - so we can't assume that the 660 score is accurate. As such, it would be a good idea for you to take a new FULL-LENGTH CAT (including the Essay and IR sections) sometime soon. If you can take that next CAT by the end up this coming weekend, we'll have the necessary data to determine whether you should take your GMAT as planned or reschedule your Exam.
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
