Hi all,
I have taken several official GMAT mocks and got 570 highest so far but it kept going down to around 500 (V24 and Q34) after another over 6 months of study. These scores are highly demotivating me.
In official exam it even went down to 420 which I have to check again and again to see is it for real
My exam is in 4 weeks time and my target score is 650+.
I understand all concepts well. One biggest issue is if I haven't seem a particular type of Quant question previously then I'm not able to solve it for medium to difficult level types of questions during the test even though I understand the concepts of it. It seems there are just so many different new types of questions that I encountered in the tests that have not been covered in most courses that I have taken so far. I'm feeling really frustrated and nearly to the give up level of GMAT now.
Another issue is due to I have devoted too much time on Quant and I'm slowly forgetting Verbal concept or slowly forgetting what I revised initially by the time I get to the end.
I've provided a brief info of my study info below...
Anything you could advise will be very much appreciated. Thanks
(P.S. I think my error log is bad, and I revise it rarely).
Now that all my cards are on the table,
Kindly guide me on what I should do to improve my score.
1) Ive been studying for 1 year and 3 months now and around 3-4 hours a DAY each WEEK but not seeing any score improvements.
2) So far I have done courses with gmatprep and Target Test Prep
3) I have taken gmat mock tests about 1 month apart for practice exam 1 (570) &2 (540) in Feb 2023, then 3 (500) & 4 (490) a week apart in May/Jun 2023
4) I'm planning to apply to B School in next 1 month time if possible as I have already missed out last year

Sorry Kimberly!
My main suggestion would be to assess your progress daily, or almost daily. I would recommend that you look at your performance at the end of the day and most of the time you should feel good about your progress and about what you have learned and you should feel more comfortable with the material than yesterday.
Do you have that? If you feel shaky at the end the day then you need to go back to the same material the next day and if you still feel shaky after two days then you need to evaluate what is not working. It’s gonna be a number of things that are not working. He may be missing some of the previous background required for understanding, you may be forcing I’m just trying to cover a chapter for the sake of covering it and that’s not good. Do you feel good/comfortable with material at the end of the day deep down? Or are you following the direction with the hope that it all works out at the end?
PS. You really want to spend less than 4 months on your GMAT, and in that timeline every week is valuable.
