Hey,
I finally managed to do my second full-length CAT - GMAT Prep1 and scored 680 (Q47, V36) & IR 5. Obviously, I have just 7 days to try and boost my score as my GMAT is scheduled for December 11th. So I would be VERY, VERY HAPPY if you all could help me improve in these last 168 hours (all dedicated to GMAT).
AWA: I did the AWA, but it was my first full length AWA argument essay, so I'll have to practice this a bit.
IR: Some of the questions were quite challenging, but still could answer all 12 questions with 3 mistakes. Will analyze this later on today.
But the most important sections still are Quant and Verbal:
Quant - Q47 is not bad (previously Q41) and I overall had a good feeling about timing and so on. But I still hope to boost this a bit. Should I rather focus on OG12/QG2 error log revision OR GMAtClub Tests? What would you say?
Weak areas: Combinatorics/Permutations, Inequalities, Absolute Values, Coordinate Planes
Verbal - V36 is a bit dissapointing, as I previously scored V34 and still have the feeling I learned a lot from MGMAT SC, Powerscore CR Bible and MGMAT RC. Somehow I:
- struggled with time and had to pick some random answers - last 10-12 questions
- because of the time constraints could not apply all strategies/steps I had learned and practiced with OG12
Weak areas: Idioms; SC questions in which you have to pick "which" vs. participle vs. Gerund; etc.
1. Should I focus on CAT's (still have 1 GMATPrep, 2 re-do's of GMATPrep and 6 MGMAT Tests) or redoing of error-log with OG questions?
2. Quant: GMATClub Tests or OG?
3. Verbal: What resources to use in order to boost my Verbal score to 40+?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR INPUT!

Hey guys,
it's been 2 days since I have sat for the GMAT on Tuesday and have scored 640 (Q44, V34), 73% , which was en par with my expectation. During my last days of preparation I had fluctuating CAT scores and did not succeed in building a realy strong quant and verbal basis, although in the past 2 months I did put a lot of effort in this.
I will ask about your suggestions in a separate debrief (where I will also include my test day experience), but let me just list here my CAT scores prior to the exam:
1. GMAT Prep 1 - 680 (Q47, V36), IR 5
2. MGMAT 1 - 650 (Q42, V37), IR 3,5
3. MGMAT 2 - 590 (Q39, V32), No IR
4. GMAT Prep 2 - 610 (Q44, V31), IR 8
5. GMAT Prep 3 - 730 (Q48, V41), IR 8 (of course with some repetitions)
Stay tuned! I will be happy to hear your suggestions and feedback! I will for sure sit for the GMAT as well, this time (January or February 2013) I will strive for a 740+!
Best!
