If the 680 was on a recent fresh mock, it's probably fair to say signs point to you being around that mark. The repeats are naturally difficult to gauge.

If you are looking for specific advice to improve your score, some more detail on the score break up (and what you think may be affecting your score "I just get tired, man, reading these long RCs") can be helpful.

All the best.

Hi srbh95,

To start, have you officially booked your appointment (and are you taking the At-home GMAT or are you taking your Exam at a Test Center)? Assuming that you have an appointment locked-in, then since you are now so close to your Test Date, you should NOT plan on doing too much studying. In these last few days, you should limit your studies to general practice and light review (NO CATs and NO 'cramming') - you would be better served by getting some extra rest so that you can go into Test Day calm, clear-headed and ready to work.

While the most realistic CATs available are the 6 from GMAC, retaking a CAT that you've already taken is NOT a realistic way to assess your skills - since you will likely see some 'repeat' questions that you have already faced. Unfortunately, seeing even a couple of repeats can 'throw off' the Scoring Algorithm and impact your pacing, energy levels, fatigue, etc. (meaning that they would likely all appear to be better than they actually are). Since most of your recent CATs were retakes, it's tough to say for sure what your current 'ability level' is right now. The difference between a 650 and a 680 can be as small as just a couple of additional correct answers (meaning that it's not clear whether your overall skills are stronger at this point or you got lucky on a few questions; in that same way, if you got really unlucky on this CAT and/or made a lot of little mistakes, then your current level could be well into the 700s).

While there's not enough time before your Test Date to make any big changes to your study routine, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

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