i just want to share my experience with the folks here...
so i've been studying pretty consistently for the past 1+ month (i would say about 1-2 CATs per weekend, and about 1 hour per workday + about 2 hrs per weekend) and I think i'm about capped out around the low 700s range...
my best so far was 750; my first diagnostic was 650, but i managed to consistently score 680 - 730 in about 6-7 CATs.
i think im about burned out and i feel that my marginal output and results are almost nonexistent. should i
1) keep chugging along and hope to break my barrier by attempting tougher questions
2) take a break for a bit before resuming and hopefully this will give me the push i need to overcome my threshold level.
Also, i just want to add that i'm going to start on my CFA studies beginning march 1st (i'll need at least 3 months before the early june exam) and I don't know if i'll have the mental capacity or energy to study both GMAT and CFA at the same time...
any advice/thoughts would be appreciated.

i'm about even (in terms of percentile ranking) for both quant and verbal...
i can get almost all PS correct. i would miss about 4-7 on DS (over half of them are silly mistakes)
for verbal, my CR has always been around 95% correct... i would say SC is my toughest with about 80-85% correct. i dont have much issues w/ RC (about 90% correct).
my strategy so far is to solely concentrate on SC with more practice questions. overall, i think maybe it's because i don't treat each CAT exam as carefully/seriously as i hope to because i know this is still not REAL (although i do simulate the testing environment... strict on time management + no distractions + i even have the MGMAT yellow simulation/lamented booklet and dry-erase pen -- only thing i'm not doing is the AWA sections)
i'm considering taking my first official exam mid july (gives me about another 1+ month to study after my cfa exam). should i really consider taking my first exam this march? i feel as though i'm not fully ready by then though.
thanks for your responses.
