Hi jinitbheda,

Assuming that these practice CAT Scores are accurate, then you are remarkably close to scoring 700+ right now. At higher-and-higher score levels, the GMAT becomes really 'sensitive' to little mistakes though, so it helps to know WHY you're getting questions wrong. As such, you should always do a full review of each CAT that you take.

After reviewing each section of your last CAT, how many questions did you get wrong....
1) Because of a silly/little mistake?
2) Because there was some math/verbal that you just could not remember how to do?
3) Because the question was too hard?
4) Because you were low on time and had to guess?

Once you define why you're getting questions wrong, you can put in the necessary effort to 'fix' those issues and potentially score higher.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

Hi

I am going to take the real test on the 26th of august 2017. I took a GMAtprep test and scored 680. (Q47,V36). On veritas and manhattanprep tests, my scores have been ranging from 660- 690. What all do i to break the 700 barrier? How should i plan my studies for the 15 days?

Thanks!
Hi

you should better try to overcome your weak areas, try to practice 700 level questions meet the pace of GMAT

Good luck

Hi jinitbheda,

Given how close your GMAT date is, I personally do not think one should adopt any new method on the final leg of their GMAT Preparation. I think you can focus a bit on verbal. If, you are only looking to identify and improve on your weak areas, I would encourage you to purchase the e-gmat scholaranium. It is without a doubt, one of the best practice tools for verbal and will indeed help you on the final leg of your preparations. You can also consider GMATPREP QP 1 which consist some great questions to help you with your prep.

Hope this helps. All the best.
