Guys,
I am a disheartened GMAT prep newbie on this forum. I have been studying for the past 8 weeks, and have taken the PR prep course, all of which has proven to no avail. My score has not changed from my first CAT to the most recent one which I just completed a few hours ago. I am unable to jump past 570 and am quite discouraged by the test. I am generally a positive guy, but seeing no improvement is definitely tough to swallow. So with that I turn to you guys for some help.
Like everyone else, I want to break the 700 mark. I am confident that I can do so, however I need some signs of improvement which I am unfortunately not getting from my preparation. What is even more discouraging is that I am getting more questions correct now than in my earlier CATs, yet my score isn't changing. For example, my hit rate was roughly 60% on Verbal on my earlier CATs; now that is roughly 75%. For some reason, I have gotten worse in Quant; I was scoring 42-44 range; now I am stuck at 39, eventhough I am getting more questions correct.
What is going on with my score? Is my score entire reflective of the fact that I am missing questions in the first 10?
I have gone through the OG, and quite frankly, I can do all the problems in an untimed environment. Perhaps it is just a matter of practice in a timed environment that will help in getting the first 10 correct in each section. Your opinions and advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Here is the breakdown for my most recent test.
Quant:39
27 Correct
10 Incorrect
0 Unanswered.
Of the First 25 problems,
Missed #4,18,20,25 - STUPID SILLY MISTAKES.
Scoring breakdown:
86%+ in PS
Pathetic 53% in DS.
Had to guess on the last 3-4 problems.
Verbal:30
30 Correct
11 Incorrect
0 Unanswered
Of the First 25 problems,
Missed #2,7,8,15,16,22
Scoring breakdown:
85%+ in SC
75% in CR
64% in RC. - This is mainly because I blindly guess on all the question of last passage (#36-39), of which I got only 1 correct.

1) Taken the Princeton CATS since I took the course.
2) Yes I have been keeping an error log and have gone through all of the questions that I had initially missed while going through the OG. The second time around, I missed a small subset of the initially missed questions. I studied those recurrent misses in detail.
3) I have been mainly following PR's practice plan for problems. They have a handful of problems to solve untimed. Also, I have been doing 10-16 question drills from Princeton's website and the Kaplan CD.
4) I haven't been doing a good job at studying both verbal and math on the same day. However, I do a few problems from Quant whenever I study verbal.
What really bugs me is that when I go through the missed Math problems after the test, I find my mistakes without even consulting the answer key. Worst of all, when I look at these missed questions the second time around, I spend a fraction of the original time to finish the question, which is really frustrating. Why can't I have the same vision during the test?
Thanks for your reply.
