Ive been a long time reader but this is my first post. This weekend I reached and exceded my goal of a 700+ score. On test day this weekend I scored a 760!!!!!! (50 Q 42 V) on the real deal!
Here are my thoughts as to how to prepare and reach the 700+ plateau.

1. CREATE AN ERROR LOG. Completing hundreds of practice problems dont mean much when you forget why you got things wrong and why you made the wrong decisions. It is impertive that you mark every problem you get wrong, and document, at least just for review before the next practice test.
2. Identify your weak spots, and make your strong area stronger. I thought i was good in math, the first test I scored a 48 Q. However, in order to reach that top score, every point counts. I brushed up on math refining the areas I thought i knew well. You can improve your strong area with fewer practice problems and more general reading about the basic concepts. On the GMAT, the verbal score can really up your overall score, and so i spent the majority of my time doing sentence corrections. No book is better than the MGMAT sentence correction guide. It was my bible and I read it at least 3 times. Simple way to get better - practice and document errors (key here)

wow... congrats Jaf74 that is a fantastic score. Great to see that you did it without a ton of prep material too. I am using the same material except I also have the Kaplan book.
Mind if I asked how long you prepared for? And did you just go over your prep material once?

congrats. excellent score and nice debrief.
looks like you didn't do gmatprep2? . I see your gmatprep1 as 740, so AWA was also done along the Q and V sections?
thanks and all the best for the app process.
