Hi BlakeK,
A Score Goal of 700+ is rather high-level (about 90% of Test Takers will never score that high on the Official GMAT, regardless of how long they study or the number of times they take the Exam). To earn that type of score, you cannot be 'generic' with your analysis. You need to learn (and hone) specific skills - and you need to be exact about defining your current skills, strengths and weaknesses. You didn't really answer any of the questions that I asked in my prior post - and we need that specific data (along with answers to some additional questions) to properly define what you need to work and to put together a proper Study Plan for you going forward. I'll be happy to help you with all of that, but you have to provide more information that you have so far.
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hey Rich,
I know that with my last score, 700 just may not be realistic for me. I'm not a quant person, by any means. However, I do have a ton of prep time, and I do have a strong work ethic. UCLA FEMBA has the highest average score of 680, so of course, I could technically score lower than that and be within the range for the program, but like everyone else here, I want to do the best I can.
I apologize. I didn't know you needed that much detail. So I went through the test, counted my mistakes, and here's what I got:
Verbal:
1) Because of a silly/little mistake? - 4
2) Because there was some math/verbal that you just could not remember how to do? - 2
3) Because the question was too hard? - 5
4) Because you were low on time and had to guess? - 0
5) How many Verbal questions did you 'narrow down to 2 choices' but still get wrong? - 5
Quant:
1) Because of a silly/little mistake? - 4
2) Because there was some math/verbal that you just could not remember how to do? - 4
3) Because the question was too hard? - 9
4) Because you were low on time and had to guess? - 0
This test was in February, so the information may not be 100% accurate (I was trying hard to remember what steps I took when taking the test), but it's close. Secondly, this CAT was taken before any sort of GMAT studying, so I have learned quite a bit since then.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
