Hi DealMonkey,

I'd like to see the full ESR for each of your Official Scores. If you're not comfortable posting them here, then you can feel free to PM them to me. At face value though, your two scores are remarkably similar, which means that you handle certain aspects of the GMAT consistently well, but you also make certain consistent mistakes. To score at a much higher level, you will have to make some adjustments to how you 'see' (and respond to) this Test. Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What materials have you used?
3) When you took your practice CATs, did you take the FULL CAT (with the Essay and IR sections)?

Goals:
4) What is your goal score?
5) When are you planning to retake the GMAT?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

Hi Rich, I will try to post the ESRs here later once I remove all the personal info.

To answer your questions:

1) I've studied on and off since October of last year.
2) MGMAT books, GMATPrep exam packs 1 and 2, GMATclub tests
3) Yes for the GMATPrep exams.

4) 700+
5) 4-8 weeks from now
6/7) Already applied. The trouble isn't really getting in as I'm applying to Canadian schools. Their average GMATs are in the 660 range. I need a high score for recruitment when I'm in the program.



@VPKarishma.

Thank you for the advice. Yes it does look like I struggle with PS more than DS - mainly because I think the actual calculation part gets me. For DS I don't really need to go through the entire computation. On the actual GMAT I had to give up on several PS problems and move on because I couldn't solve it in ~2 minutes.
