Need Experts' advise or any body who can help!!

Please reply as soon as possible.

I gave Gmatprep test no. 2 today (18th Feb, 2018) and score was 510(V:21 & Q: 39) the low verbal score was because I got the "last ten questions wrong", As I had to rush through at the end of the verbal section.
In Gmatprep test 1(taken on 12th Feb, 2018) my score was 580 (V:28 & Q 42) (I got 3-4 repeat questions in each section quant and verbal)
My exam is scheduled on 7th march, 2018, I want to score at least above 600.
Please suggest will it be possible??
Need help how to dedicate my last 15 days.
I have 2 Gmatprep test left from the Exam pack 1 that I have not taken yet.

Thank you in advance.

Since you do not have a whole lot of time left, I would recommend going through the OG if you have it and reviewing key concepts. Also make sure you have a good strategy for each section. Good luck!

I just noticed you have the two gmat prep tests. Definitely take both of those and review your mistakes.

Hi Piyush0731,

Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) Have you taken any other practice CATs besides these two (and how have you scored on them - including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for each)?

Goals:
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
5) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
6) Do you have the flexibility to push back your Test Date (even if it's just for a couple of weeks)?

Hi Piyush0731,

Based on these two recent CAT scores, we don't have a clear sense of your current 'ability level' right now. The 580 included seeing several 'repeat' questions - and seeing even a few 'repeat' questions can 'throw off' the Algorithm and impact your pacing, energy levels, fatigue, etc. The 510 implies that you have a SERIOUS pacing problem (at least in the Verbal section) - and it's important to remember that pacing issues do not exist on their own - they're the results of OTHER issues. If your current 'level' is in the low-500s, then it will likely take at least another 2 months of consistent, guided study for you to consistently score in the 600s. Unfortunately, you current plan gives you just 2 weeks of potential study time. You have to remember your REAL Goal in all of this: to get into your first-choice Business School. If that means that you have to change your timeline a bit, then that's something you will have to consider.

1) What are the exact application deadlines for the Schools that you plan to apply to?

Thank you very much for helping me out!, here are the exact application deadlines:
1) Whu otto beisheim: 15th April, 2018
2) Mannheim: 15th March to May 31, 2018
3) HHL leipzig: 30th May, 2018
4) University of Cologne: May 30th, 2018
Also if a apply late (within the deadlines) will chances be less for getting admission?
Please suggest...
