Hi annaleroy,
A month of additional study could be enough time to make the necessary adjustments and improve your score. I'd like to know a bit more about what you've done so far and your timeline/plans:
1) How long have you been studying?
2) What resources did you use during your studies besides the books that you mentioned?
3) Is there any reason why you need to be done with the GMAT by Feb 28?
4) Did you take the ENTIRE CAT (including the Essay and IR sections)?
5) On Test Day, did you finish any sections early? Did you have to rush just to finish any of the sections (and if so, then how many questions did you have to guess on?)?

hi Rich,
1.) I had been studying since October, however I had to take a couple of breaks for the holidays and other events between October and my GMAT. 2.) I was using
MGMAT books and the 6 exams, OG13 and
Magoosh.
3.) The only reason I would want to get the GMAT done by Feb 28th is because I would like to submit my applications by mid/end of March at the latest.
4.) For the most recent cat GMAT Prep I didn't do the Essay or the IR sections, just the Quant and Verbal. I got a 6 on the essay on the actual GMAT I took two weeks ago, so I would focus more on IR than AWA for the next exam.
5.) I finished verbal with 5 minutes extra but Quant I had to guess the last two questions!
I am planning on taking a
MAGOOSH practice test tomorrow to really figure out where my struggles are. I feel like it may be that I do not always FULLY understand my errors so do not learn from my mistakes. I am just not sure how to start studying again.
Thanks for your help/advice! Anything helps at this point!
