Hello,
I am currently in a bit of a rut trying to understand the best way to move my score into the upper 600s or above. I am curious what a good 2nd level prep course/strategy would be? I heard e-gmat is helpful but I am not certain what would be of the most benefit (any experiences?). I took a Mprep class in person starting early march 2017, ending May 2017. Because of a hectic work schedule and outside obligations I struggled to keep up and didn't get a full dive into all of the concepts. When the class ended I tried to clean up loose ends and scored a 630 on my Official cat in mid July. Q44 (personal best) V33 (on par with what i was scoring). Please note my prior 5 practice tests were all around 590, and Q44 was my highest to date. After taking the test I took a break for a month and a half to take care of some personal business. At this point I started to review again in early Sept, leading to an Official cat2 on 9/30. To my dismay, I ended up with a significantly worse score of 590 Q37 (lowest ever) V35 (personal best). Obviously at this point I am a bit frustrated and unsure of what is generally the best way to go about moving forward. I would look to take this test again in early November (have a two week vacation in the end of Oct dedicated to studying as well as dedicating nearly all of my free time to this) with the intention of moving my score to a 670+. For those who have dealt with a similar plateau or a decrease in score from one to another, how did you go about fixing this? My fear is simply doing problems over and over without tangible progress moving forward. I feel like at this point I might just be spinning my wheels. One core issue I noticed on both sections was my pacing was not up to par and I had to sacrifice 3 questions on each section to the luck of guessing. This I do understand can be fixed by doing more and more practice test (something I definitely did not do enough of during my prep)
Is there a structured prep for this time frame (5 weeks?), in particular one that focuses heavy on the quant side? Whether it is a course or a forum strategy guide, any insight is appreciated.
Sorry for the narrative - but I would like to use my time going forward in the most productive way and not bouncing around different ideas, leading to subpar progress (something I had done in the past).
Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,
I guess we share the same issue.
i'm also facing the same problems and frustration.
On a personal front, i'm taking a week's break and starting all over again.
This time i will try to be more consisent.
Wish you the best,

Thanks. My real concern is how to be the most productive in the next 5 weeks. I have a basic understanding of the material and what/how to review but I feel my time Studying can be used more effectively, hence my questions surrounding programs or guides that generally are successful in a time frame such as this.
