Hi Guys!
I am in a fix.
I am an engineer & MBA (MDI, Gurgaon & ESCP-EAP, London). Post MBA experience - 8 Yrs 3 Months.
Dec 2013 - Actual GMAT (without much prep - 480 || shocked!!)
Decided to study hard as I had scored high %iles in 2006, however with regular hectic work schedule I studied on & off for last 1 year. I completed OG-10, OG-16, Verbal review 16, Princeton study material.
Scores:
Jun-Dec 2015
Princeton 1: 420
Princeton 2-5: 520
Princeton 6-8: 590
GMAT Prep 1: 580
June - Aug 2016
Studied more and attempted
Manhattan 1: 620
Manhattan 2: 640
Manhattan 3: 590
Now I just want to take GMAT on 9th Aug and want a 75%ile +. Can someone please guide me how to make a schedule. Should I take more test, it might demoralize me in case i score another sub 600.
My main problem is that last 7-8 ques in both sections are guesses due to lack of time. I tried to fasten my speed but it ended up in 590!!
Can anyone please help. I have 2 Manhattan mocks, 1 GMAT prep mock left.
Regards,
Sachan Deep Singh

Hi Sachan,
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you're looking for, I'd like to know a bit more about how you've taken your CATs and your overall timeline/goals:
When you took your CATs:
1) Did you take the ENTIRE CAT each time (including the Essay and IR sections)?
2) Did you take them at home?
3) Did you take them at the same time of day as your Official GMAT?
4) Did you ever do ANYTHING during your CATs that you couldn't do on Test Day (pause the CAT, skip sections, take longer breaks, etc.)?
5) Did you ever take a CAT more than once? Had you seen any of the questions BEFORE?
When are you planning to apply to Business School?
What Schools are you planning to apply to?
Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Test, so you CAN train to score at a higher level. Unfortunately, since your GMAT is in a little over a week, that's probably not enough time to make any big improvements to your skills. As such, you might consider pushing back your Test Date.

No, don't take another test. I don't see a lot of point in it. You instead need to invest your time in working on your weaknesses that you identified from your practice tests. In the leftover 1 week, try to bump up your score by a few points by putting in extra effort in those 2-3 topics. Do keep reviewing everything else too.
Also, are you opting for part time MBA? If no, the adcom is going to ask you why.
