Hi everyone,
I have been studying for the GMAT for two months now and made my first official test yesterday, 11th of December. I scored a devastating Q29 and V23 (450). Aimed for 550-600 as I need 550 to do the MBA I want. got the feeling I underscored on Quant and could get a higher score if I was sharper, didn't make sully mistakes and had better sleep before. On verbal I constantly hit the V23-25, so there's fundamentally going something wrong there.
I did a four week course (20 hrs quant/ 10 hrs verbal) and been practicing and revising via GMATclub and youtube since then.
I have searched around on the forum, but couldn't get a grasp of what the best books are if you want to improve verbal from Q25 to Q30-35 and Quant from Q30 to Q40.
Since the timespan is around 30 days and I work for two days a week I've got around 25-30 hours per week preparation time. The prep books I am looking at are:
- Manhattan Prep Complete strategy guide set (8 books)
OR
- Manhattan Prep Foundations of Verbal/ Quantative
OR:
- Manhattan Prep Foundations of Quantative and PowerScore Verbal (SC and CR) and finding a tactic to attack RC on Gmatclub and read some novels/ academic books
If someone has better suggestions or a better study guide for the upcoming month they are, of course, more than welcome.
Great weekend everyone!

What was your first Official Mock score?

Hi Jordi12345,
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 - and ignoring the one result in which you saw some 'repeat' questions - your CAT score results and Official Score show that you essentially performed the same each time (about 450 +/- a few points). You handle certain aspects of the GMAT consistently well, but you also make certain consistent mistakes. While you are not actually that far from a 550, it appears that you have developed some 'bad habits' that are keeping you from scoring higher - and we'll have to define and fix them (re: replace those bad habits with new 'good habits') before you will be able to hit your Goal Score.
January 7th is less than 4 weeks away and you might need more guide study time than that before you will be able to consistently hit 550+.
1) What are the exact Application Round deadlines (all of them) for the School that you plan to apply to?
