Hey! I went to University of Florida (2012) and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a 3.84 GPA. I'd like to attend Columbia, MIT, or another top school and get a Masters in Real Estate degree. MIT's website says the average GMAT score is 660-700 for masters in real estate development. I would like to at least get a 660 so i can be competitive. However, right now i'm scoring 580. I have a few questions.
1. Do you suggest scheduling test in advance or continue studying until you feel ready and then schedule?
2. What do you think is the best approach to increase score at least 80 points? I've been thinking maybe one of the expensive tutoring programs like Veritas, etc. may help?
I've tried Magoosh (didn't finish all the videos / practice questions) but i did watch all the quant videos and did many practice problems but it didn't help my quant score.
Just trying to figure out best way to reach my goal. I know i can score better than what i am scoring. It's been difficult with work and gym to make enough time to study and have the energy to retain the info. lol. I studied for the last 3 months, 2 hours per day on weekdays, and 3-4 hours on weekends. As i mentioned before i bought Magoosh and the Official guide for Verbal & Quant (2017). I did all the verbal & quant official guide problems.
Thanks for any help!

For the first question, I personally prefer schedule the test first, so I can plan my study with specific target. Have a deadline will also put a little pressure that help you focus more on study. Again this is only my personally choice. Hope this help. Good luck with your exam

Hi Nawz,
Since it sounds like you've put in some significant study time already, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on your CAT scores and your goals:
Studies:
1) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for each)?
2) Do you have to rush to finish any of the sections during your CATs (and guess on a bunch of questions at the end of the section)?
3) When are you planning to apply to School?
