Hi damham17,

The Scaled Scores from your Official GMAT are just about what I expected them to be, which provides further evidence of your 'consistency.' The good news is that you're actually fairly close to a 720+ score right now. The bad news is that until you make some adjustments to how you handle the Test, you'll likely continue to score at your current level.

How long have you been studying?
Do you have the flexibility to push back your Test Date (even if it's just for a month)?

I do have flexibility with postponing the test. I spend about 15 hours a week on studying for the GMAT, and I have been doing so since Mid-May/Early-June.

Hi damham17,

If you have the flexibility to push your Test Back, I think that you should plan for an extra month of study (on top of the time that you have remaining. Beyond learning/practicing some new tactics for the Quant and Verbal sections, we have to get you out of whatever 'bad habits' you've developed and into new 'good habits.' That process can sometimes take time. I think that the EMPOWERgmat Total Score Booster would help you considerably. Most of our clients complete that Study Plan in well under 2 months, so the time commitment wouldn't be that bad. We have a variety of free resources on our site (www.empowergmat.com), so you can 'test out' the Course before setting up an account.

If you have any additional questions, then you can feel free to contact me directly.
