Hi all,
I passed the GMAT in March 2017, 660 Q43V38. One week before taking the test I scored 680 on GMAT Prep (Q42V40).
I then took a 1 month break and then started studying again, while taking some Manhattan CATs:
CAT EXAM #1 Completed 04/15/2017 Score: 650 (Q42V37)
CAT EXAM #2 Completed 04/29/2017 Score: 690 (Q46V38)
CAT EXAM #3 Completed 05/14/2017 Score: 650 (Q44V35)
CAT EXAM #4 Completed 05/21/2017 Score: 650 (Q42V37)
I was excited about that 690 but now CAT 3 and 4 are lower scores again
I booked another test date for Monday 29th May 2017, and I really hope I will get at least 690-700 as I need this score to apply to the MBA programmes I am targetting.
Does anyone has any advice or tips on what I can do to improve ? I have a non-quant background (I am a corporate/finance lawyer) and non native English speaker, living in Belgium.
Many thanks

Hi Tygra89,
GMAC has publicly stated that the Official Score that you earn on Test Day is within +/- 30 points of actual ability. Assuming a similar 'swing' in how your CATs function, your various score results show that you essentially performed the same each time (670, +/- a few points). This is all meant to say that you could very easily hit your goal score back in March - but you made a few little mistakes that cost you the missing points that you're after.
While you could pick up those missing points in either the Quant or Verbal sections, you might want to think about focusing on the Quant sides of things for now. Business School Admissions Officers often view the Quant Scaled Score as representative of one's ability to handle the 'academic side' of their respective Program. A Q43 won't impress anyone - and while it won't necessarily keep you out of Business School, it could potentially be seen as a 'red flag' at certain Programs.
1) On your last CAT, how many Quant questions did you get wrong that you COULD/SHOULD have gotten correct?

Many thanks for your reply Rich.
Of the 19 questions I answered wrong on the Quant part of my last CAT, I believe I could/should have answered 6-8 questions correct.
