GMAT RETAKE

Thanku so much for your reply
I am planning for top B-Schools namely Wharton, Columbia and Kellogs. I am targeting 2017 session. I had a free session with Stacy Blackman and she guided me to have another go and target somewhere between 730-750 after seeing my profile.
I took 22 mocks before Gmat.
Gmat prep 1- 520
Gmat prep 2- 600
Gmat prep 3- 650
Gmat prep 4- 700
Average of veritas mocks was 620 and Mgmat was 640

CR bible is a good stuff to practice however the score in CR doesn't improve by finishing more questions from different sources. You need to find out what kind of mistakes have you been making and why?

You need to take a few doubt sessions with some expert to know what is the major problem which is hindering your accuracy to improve.

The best Mock tests in market are

Best: GMAT Prep and Exam Pack-1 then come
1) GMAT CLUB test
2) Manhattan Tests

I won't recommend anything above these two and remaining have their own drawbacks specially Kaplan and Veritas (in my opinion) with due respect to their tests.

For a quick assessment on your Verbal part specially for CR you may plan to take a FREE Assessment session with Dr.Sushma Jha and find your flaws. You schedule a demo class please write her on sushma.jha@GMATinsight.com or call on 91-9891333772

You have enough scope to improve in verbal from 33 to 40 so I wish you all the best...

Hi ashutosh1617 ,

Taking so many CATs in such a short period of time was NOT a good idea. As you continue to study, you should take no more than 1 FULL-LENGTH CAT per week. I have a few questions about how you took those CATs.

When you took your CATs:
1) Did you take the ENTIRE CAT (including the Essay and IR sections)?
2) Did you take them at home?
3) Did you take them at the same time of day as your Official GMAT?
4) 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.)?
5) Did you ever take a CAT more than once?

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

Some of the CAT's, i gave full in one go like Gmat prep
While the others, i gave section by section.
I took them at home. The time varied b/w different mocks.
I took Gmat prep twice, except that all other mocks only once.
The only difference i can say is that in half of the mocks i took longer breaks.

My non-expert personal advice on the verbal for all of the verbal is that you shouldn't be writing down notes as you read. For the RC, I just read the passage and if it's really long or confusing that's fine, I keep reading, then when I get to the questions, I know where to go back to in the passage to read. I always finished the verbal with time left. SC usually the flaw is obvious so you can immediately narrow down the answers based on the part of the sentence needing correction. Sometimes it's more obvious than others but you should be able to notice that something is wrong or at least less perfect than the rest of the sentence. There's also some idioms that I would get wrong even doing them 5x and for those ones you just have to stop trying to solve them based on what you think is right and instead choose what the gmat will say is right.

Also, you said yourself your SC is good and you need work on the other 2 areas then you say you're focusing on egmat SC... Also you're trying to score into the 90th percentile but your verbal is in the low 70's, working on your SC and quant isn't going to be the most effective way to get you to a 730
