Hello All,
My test is exactly 13 days away. I took a mock test (official - Exam pack 1) just now and scored 660 (49/31). I took one last week and had scored 680 (47/36). I was stunned to see my verbal score drop to 31 and analysed the questions I got wrong in verbal . The results of the analysis were shocking. I got the following correct in each section:
1) SC = 15/17 (last week 12/17)
2) RC = 12/13 (last week 11/13)
3) CR = 2/11 (last week 9/11) - No idea why there would be so much discrepancy within a span of one week!
With just 13 days left, I'm skeptical about achieving my target score of 730/740. However, I would be bunking work for 10 days and studying 10+ hours a day.
My question is: how do I go about the next 2 weeks of preparation considering the fact that I've never prepared for IR (6 in latest exam) and AWA?
Require urgent guidance from experts. Should I do CR bible or MGMAT CR? Should I continue focusing on SC and Quant though my score is relatively decent? Please help!

Hi abhi780,
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, I'd like to know a bit more about how you've been taking your CATs:
1) Are these the only two CATs that you've taken? If not, then how have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for each)?
2) Did you take the ENTIRE CAT each time (including the Essay and IR sections)?
3) Did you take them at home?
4) Did you take them at the same time of day as your Official GMAT?
5) Did you ever do ANYTHING during your CATs that you couldn't do on Test Day (pause the CAT, skip sections, take longer breaks, etc.)?
6) Did you ever take a CAT more than once? Had you seen any of the questions BEFORE?
