Hi guys (girls),
I just made my first practice test after a month of unstructured, not-regular studying (mostly worked trough math exercises and SC in the OG).
Scores:
IR: 8
Q: 40
V: 40
I think I will do better if I get used to the time pressure, I decided to buy additional math exercises and additional tests (6 weeks till test), I made a scheme and I aim for 740 (might be a bit opportunistic).
Anyway, I would greatly appreciate your opinions on the score and specific tips :D

Hi neenpaques,
A 650 is a strong 'baseline' CAT score - raising that score to 740 will take some significant work though. Given these Scaled Scores, you have the opportunity to pick up points in BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections (although you'll likely find it easier to pick up the initial "block" of points in the Quant section).
A Q40 implies that you're still a bit unclear on certain Quant concepts, you're missing lots of 'strategy-based' points (especially in DS) and you're making little mistakes throughout the section. The V40 shows that you don't have any 'weak spots' in the Verbal section, so those missing points are more 'nit-picky' (and will likely be found once you learn to spot some of the more subtle wrong answer types that show up in the Verbal section.
1) What resources have you used so far?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School?

Hi neenpaques,
A V 40 indicates that you have a strong hold on the Verbal portion of the test.
Quants is the area where you can have a lot of improvement. There are various ways to prepare for it:
1. Private tutoring
2. Study using the text books
3. Enrolling for an online preparatory course. Most of the companies including ours offer a trial period. You can opt for that and see if the course fits your needs.
When are you planning to take the GMAT?
Was this mock CAT from the GMAT Prep tests?
