Dear Experts,
I have already given my GMAT exam once and got a 640(Q-44 V-36) last september and I am looking for a 700+ score. I have been giving GMAT Mocks regularly but I cant get to that 700+ score consistently. I have been giving MGMAT and Veritas Prep mocks and getting a variable score pattern from 670 to 700(more on the MGMAT mocks than Veritas) and also not a balanced score(Q-47 and above while V is still in the mid-thirties).
I've been doing too badly on SC and also on RC.
Can you please suggest me some strategies or some important things which I should take note of. I want that elusive high score and getting very tensed with this inconsitent results.
Thanks in advance

Hi koolarijeet,
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long did you study before taking the Official GMAT (in September)? Have you been studying consistently since then (or have you taken 'time off' in between?)?
2) What study materials have you used?
3) On your CATs, have you taken the FULL CAT each time (with the Essay and IR sections)?
Goals:
4) When are you planning to retake the GMAT?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
6) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Thanks for the reply,
Well I had taken some time off after September and started my prep again from January. I had bought all the MGMAT guides and followed them when I gave the GMAT last time. After that I have also used the Magoosh prep videos. The prep time last time was for 4months. I generally do not give the full CAT exams and exclude the IR and AWA sections. But sometimes I practice with them too.
As far as my goals are concerned, I am planning to take my GMAT anytime soon before May-June so that I can get enough time to prepare for the application as I know its not only the elusive high GMAT score the colleges want. I wish to join a Business School in Fall-2018 so I am planning to have my applications ready when the first round of Applications open in August-September. I want to get admitted in a Ivy league college like Wharton, Yale etc. I know how much tough it is to get admitted in programs offered by those schools and that's why I want to boost my score higher. I am also considering other options in Europe and Asia like INSEAD, HEC. Paris, NUS
I am already working in a firm and have 5 years of work experience if that helps.
Thanks again.
