Just as the title says and I'm unsure if this is the correct section to be posting in the forum but I thought it was the most relevant.
I just scored 650 and I'm wondering the best way to spend the next 5-6 days (GMAT on the 6th) to try and bump that as close to 700 as I possibly can!
The breakdown:
Quant: 41 (49%) Ouch...
Verbal: 37 (83%)
I feel I understand the whole of Quant but whenever I get into a test environment I just look at a lot of the questions blankly? My verbal seems to be pretty solid but I feel like SC could let me down on the day... I am in Australia so it is currently the evening of the 29th and I would love any feedback as quickly as possible to help build a plan!
My current plan is to sit a CAT at 9am every morning (the time of my GMAT) with a GMAT prep CAT on Friday (2nd) and Sunday (4th) and try and do some OG questions in the afternoon for review.
I also have this whole week and next off so I can theoretically work all day until my exam.
I would love to hear any pointers on what you did to achieve your result, any words of advice on structuring my revision, and anything that you feel might help me!
Thanks in advance!

If I were you, I would figure out why 41? Say you are weak in Probability& Combinatorics and Work&Mixture problems. I will study 3 hrs each topic and try to lessen the gap. I will also buy GMat Question Prep 1, heard it is very similar to the real GMAT. I'll also work on RC, stats have proven that it carries more weightage than SC.

Hi DavidSt,
While it might be tempting to try to 'cram' a lot of studying in these last few days, that is NOT a good idea. Taking a CAT every day is also NOT a good idea - you're far more likely to 'burn out' before Test Day than to actually experience any benefits. Since your GMAT is in 6 days, you could squeeze in 1 more CAT, but I wouldn't recommend it.
With a Q41, you're likely pretty good at the straight-forward 'math' questions that you see, but you're still making some little mistakes and you're missing out on LOTS of 'strategy-based' points (with many of them likely in DS). In these final days, your focus should be on light practice (with an emphasis on using Tactics) and working on your 'mechanics' (the physical way that you work through questions, note-taking, labeling, organization, etc.).
