Experts, How do I get at least a 680 based on last scores 18 Days left

Hi Aarya20,

When we last discussed your studies (on August 4th), we discussed that you should take a new CAT/mock sometime around August 18th (re: in the last few days). Did you take that CAT as planned - and if so, then how did you score (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?

My average Quant score = 42 and average Verbal Score = 24 (based on last 4 mocks).

For a 680, it may be good to check out a scoring grid to see the possible section combos to aim for. For Verbal, it's probably fair to say there are still some fundamentals that are a bit slippery. Have suggested a Manhattan-Prep's 6th Edition for SC and CR to students. Here's someone who significantly improved their verbal in about 30 days on a retake. They took a bit of tutoring but mention a variety of resources you can consider using.

Might be worth postponing your exam until you get two consecutive Official Mock scores that are 680+.

Hi Aarya20.

I realize you want to take the GMAT pretty soon, but it's too early for you to be taking practice tests. If you keep going at this rate, you'll use all the official practice tests long before you get to your score goal.

To determine whether you're close to your score goal, you can use your practice question accuracy.

To score 46+ in quant, you need to be getting at least 90% of easy, 70% of medium, 60% of hard quant question correct when you're practicing.

To score 38+ in verbal, you need to be getting at least 90% of easy, 80% of medium, and 70% of hard verbal questions correct when you're practicing.

So, you'll know that ready to take another practice test when you're achieving such accuracies consistently.

Now, given what you said, it appears that, to get to those accuracies, you need to

- strengthen 7 or more weaker areas of quant.

- learn more SC concepts and strategies and practice SC more to improve execution. For some tips on how to improve in SC, see this post.

- learn more CR strategies and practice CR more to improve execution.

- practice RC more to improve execution.
