Need Help!
I finished all the Manhattan Guides and was doing pretty well when it came to the problem sets and quizzes.
But when I tried the CATs I consistently scored poorly. Started studying in June and I keep pushinv back my test date.
How to study next after following the guides?
I hope to get at least 650-680 but I'm not sure about my chances. Rescheduled my online exam to September just to give more time for studying and practice.
My practice scores:
Veritas (Diagnostic) - 510 V29, Q32
Veritas 2 - 560 V30, Q38
GMATPrep1 - 520, V27, Q34
GMATPrep2 - 530, V31, Q31
Manhattan - 550, V34, Q31
I'm panicking but still need to study. I'm still more than a hundred points away from my target score. What's the best strategy to do the practice questions? Native English speaker so was expecting my verbal to be a bit higher. My Sentence Correction is great, but struggling with CR and I take too long with RC (struggling with taking notes). I think Verbal is improving though since I'm more careful with how I answer. I've been watching Gmatninja videos tohelp and some of EGmats vids.
For quant, I've never been a math guy, but the problems are tricky and I can't seem to get past the 650 questions. I've been studying every weekday for 4 hours then 4-6 hours on weekends.
Trying out Target Test Prep's trial now.
My test date is a month away. I've been having trouble sleeping because I'm thinking about the GMAT too much.
Need your wisdom. I feel like my study plan is not effective.
I was planning to apply to round 1 but clearly I'm not yet ready.

Hi insertnicksname,
GMAC has publicly stated that the Official Score that you earn on Test Day is within +/- 30 points of actual ability. Assuming a similar 'swing' in how your CATs function, your various CAT score results show that you essentially performed the same each time (about 530 +/- a few points). You handle certain aspects of the GMAT consistently well, but you also make certain consistent mistakes. Statistically-speaking, raising a 6530 to the point that you can consistently score 650+ will likely require at least another 2-3 months of consistent, guided study - and you'll have to make significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level. Based on your current timeline, you might need to consider pushing back your Test Date.
Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
1) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
3) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hello insertnicksname,
A score of 550 is close to decent, but not sufficient enough to get into a top university. All top-ranking universities will require a score of at least 700 or above. We would request to write us back with the section score for Verbal and Quant to assist you better.
GMAT is not as easy as we assume. GMAT math is logic, and GMAT verbal is a real test of English as a language. So, we recommend you to look for reliable resources.
Considering your present score (Q31, V34), we have two plans for you, which you must follow to reach your target score. Finding your target score as 700, remember various possible combinations to achieve a score of 700 or above: V37/Q50, V39/Q49, V43/Q45.
.
Plan 1: Basic concept building --- try 600 level question--- take mock test ---- learn alternative methods and shortcuts ---- try 700+ level question --- take mock tests.
For verbal– Revise your grammar basics by GMAT grammar book or Aristotle grail for sentence correction. For RC and CR, try solving the 700+ level question.
For math, yes, basics are musts. You should visit our website https://www.mathrevolution.com to check our free trial lessons and free videos.
To strengthen the basic concept on various topics like arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and word problems, you should opt for a 5-hour Math Review lesson. Solve as many questions as you can relate to different topics.
Plan 2: Once your basics are strong, we recommend learning quick and alternative approaches to solve questions to save you the time. Q 51 shortcut will help you do so.
Keep checking your performance by taking mock tests. You may try our free diagnostic test once.
Let us know if you have further questions.
You can reach us at [email protected].
Success is within your reach.
Good luck!
