GMAT Inequalities is a high-frequency topic in GMAT Quant, but many students struggle because the concepts behave differently from standard algebra. Understanding the right rules, patterns, and edge cases can significantly improve both speed and accuracy.- May 06

Hi everyone,
I recently gave a mock after completing my prep from TTP and scored 645(Q85,V82,DI78). My aim is to achieved 705. I am currently practicing through Official Guide and Quant and Verbal Review, while simultaneously giving more mocks through Experts Global Test. Are these enough? My test date scheduled for now is 31st August. I really am struggling to decide if I should postpone my date and practice more thorugh some other guides and GMAT Club to achieve the target score. Your suggestions and advices will be extremely helpful.
Thanks!

Hi. If you are 60 points below your target score and potentially may experience additional degradation of the score due to stress on the test day, I think postponing your test may make sense.
I am kind of in the school in camp that basically says that you want to schedule your test when you are ready to schedule your test. I know some people are moved by deadlines and I think that’s a good move to force yourself into a schedule but at this point getting 60 points and two weeks is going to be Tricky though of course not impossible. I would suggest making a decision in a week or so when you take the second test (gmat prep) And get a sense of whether 645 was high low or average.
In terms of improvement, you need seven additional sectional points from somewhere. Where can you get them from? I see your data insights is just 50th percentile. Squeeze out four or five points out of it? And maybe bump up quantum verbal by one?

Is this your first attempt? How many mocks have you written, one 645 is not enough to determine you are test ready, you need at least three scores on a mock that are within your target score reach + or - 30 points. So on test day you could either be 615 or 675. The variance could be higher...it all depends.
I got 645 on my mock and I took the test. On my first attempt I got a 575, which was not great. So I was not test ready or May be I was and anxiety got the best of me. I had a tough start in quant and tanked my verbal.
On your baseline here you will need to be clear on where your lift will be?
I see you can improve two points on DI for sure maybe three if you manage time well.
One more point at least for Verbal if you get more CR correct assuming you are doing well on RC.
Have a look at the test log in my signature that is the level of detail you ideally want from your mock exams to understand where your strengths or weaknesses are.
If this is your first attempt and assuming you have enough time to commit to prep I would write the exam as the change fee is at least $200? So I would save that $200 and add it to the test retake fund if you need one.
Also if you can get 645 on the board the second attempt you will be less stressed as you would have seen the stadium and the athletics so you wouldn’t be scared by any new twists in the game.
Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions.
Also, if you can start to learn the box breathing technique it helps calm nerves and have seals use it.
Thanks
