Hello Experts,
I have been preparing for the GMAT for the last 4 months and have been appearing for various Mock tests available. My target score in GMAT is 730, however, my mock test results are extremely erratic. The following are the details of my mock tests that I have appeared till date:
Attempt Date Mock test details Overall Score Quant Verbal
05-20-2023 Egmat Mock#1 590 46 25
06-18-2023 OG Mock#1 540 49 17
08-19-2023 Egmat Mock#2 610 44 29
09-12-2023 GMAT Whiz Mock#1 630 49 27
09-17-2023 OG Mock#1 _Repeat 700 50 34
09-22-2023 Egmat Mock#1_Repeat 630 46 30
My target test date is 10-10-2023, however, such erratic results has actually demotivated me. I generally practice from the OG books and other online/offline available sources. In the OG practice problems I generally solve above 80% of hard problems in Quant within time and above 50-60% across all sections in Verbal hard problems although, I believe time is one of the factors I still need to work on Verbal.
I would like to request the experts to provide their kind insights and help me with the following:
1) Where do I stand with regards to my score at this point?
2) What should be my general strategy from this point?
3) Whether it would be possible for me to achieve my test score within the target date i.e. 10-10-2023. If no, how much more time should I devote for preparation considering that the last date for the admissions for 2025 intake is in mid-November.

For time management, using question/time markers may help. Fair to say including some more Official-Mocks into your prep would be a solid choice. Consider saving one or two in case you retake for any reason. Your first attempt on Official Mock 1 was a Q49 V17. Perhaps including/working with a study buddy who is really strong on Verbal and needs help with Quant could be helpful. There's a study buddy thread on gmatclub you can check out/sign up to.

Hi Racer22,
If we ignore the one 'outlier' (the 700, which was a retake of a prior CAT/mock - meaning that that result is likely 'inflated'), most of your remaining Scores are clustered around a 610 - so assuming that you took all of those other CATs in a realistic fashion that matches-up with how you will take the Official GMAT, your current 'ability level' is likely in the low-600s. With a Score Goal of 730, you will likely need at least another 2 months of consistent, guided study to get to the point that you can consistently score at that higher level - and you will need to make signficant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level. Unfortunately, October 10th is only about 2.5 weeks away. While there's no harm in taking the GMAT as scheduled, you will almost certainly have to take it again later on - so you could potentially save some time, money and frustration by pushing back that Test Date.
Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
1) What type of study routine have you been following over the last 4 months? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What specific study materials have you used so far?
3) What Schools are you planning to apply to and what specific application deadlines are you facing?
