Hello - can anyone of the experts here please provide their thoughts? I’m taking the test in exactly a week so would love to know what you think. Thank you!!

In both Quant and Verbal, the questions you got incorrect were much tougher than the average questions so the penalty you faced for them would not have been very high. Likely you performed up to your current potential and that is great. It means you are a strong test taker.
I would suggest you to focus on DS and CR for the next week. Ensure you understand the pitfalls DS presents and the concept of 'sufficiency' really well. In CR, ensure that you understand all question types very well and focus on exactly what each expects from you. This should help you get a 20-30 point score increase for which you are looking.

Hi egmat

Thank you for the detailed feedback. I really appreciate it. Just wanted to close the loop and say I took the test again and got a 760 (Q50/V44). Been a wild ride since the 7th of Aug when I got a 660!

Thanks so much to everyone else who replied too. :)

rs5713 - congratulations on scoring 760. I am glad that the analysis helped. What did you do during this time? Where do you plan to apply?

Hi egmat (Rajat)

Thanks! In the week or so I had, I did the following:
1. Deep-dive on my ESR Verbal to figure out I had 3 CR, 2 SC and 2 RC wrong, to make up a total of 7 Verbal wrong.
2. [BIGGEST FACTOR] Used LSAT to do 100 CR questions above over 30 RC passages to try and get down to 3-4 verbal errors in the next test; I suspect my V44 means 4 questions wrong, and I'd wager I got no RC wrong, and 2 of CR/SC wrong or 3 SC and 1 CR (this is the most likely scenario in my head based on how the test went).
3. Did no quant but got lucky with the Q50 instead of 49; I suspect this was just getting 1 / 2 more questions right, and not making silly mistakes as you suggested in your ESR evaluation.
4. Changed test day routine - incorporated some sugar (half a chocolate bar) before each of the Q/V sections and did pushups before the V section (2nd in order).

Hope that helps but let me know if any more questions!
