Hi GMATClub members.
I just took GMATPrep for the first time and scored 550 (33Q, 33V). I did not do the AWA since this is my first CAT but I plan to do them for each subsequent CAT.
Due to a very demanding job, time-wise, I have taken a long time to go through MGMAT's set of 8 strategy guides. They are good but the exam has clearly shown me that I need to revise many topics.
My GMAT is scheduled for the end of February, which is about 6 weeks from now. I am aiming for 700 and I think a 150 increase is doable if I put in the time.
If anyone could provide any advice on how I can get that improvement I am all ears.
A few things to note:
- I feel a recap of main points in each topic + strategies for RC and CR should in itself improve the score
- I am only about halfway through OG12 questions, usually doing them in batches of 20-30 and the overall accuracy is 77% so far. I'd say I'm in the high-medium questions.
- I had a LOT of time to spare at the end of each section so I think I need to slow down. I will be working on that as well.
- I feel I made a lot of careless errors, so eliminating them should be key.
Any help that anyone can provide would be MUCH appreciated.
Thanks!!

You should be keeping an error log. Mistakes you classify as "careless" are likely designed into the questions.
Remember, the GMAT is designed to stratify people into a normal distribution. The questions are designed to do this. An error log is key to overcoming obstacles/identifying problem areas and figuring out how to over come said obstacles.
As for your score, you need a much bigger boost in quant (15 points) than in verbal (5 points) to get to the 80 percentile in each section and thus in the 700 range (assuming you want 80 percentile in each section. You can get 700 by weighting one section much more, but that is much more difficult).
