I just took my GMAT a few days ago and got a 610! I was pretty confident of getting in the 680-690 bracket. I bought the 6 Manhattan GMAT adaptive tests. I started at 580 consistently moving to 680-690 in the last 3 consecutive test. Practiced from OG11, Kaplan, Manhattan GMAT question bank. Pretty disappointed with my score and out of ideas on what could have gone wrong! I am planning to take the GMATs again in a month.

Where can I buy more adaptive tests? I am not even sure what I should focus on for the next month to get into the 680-690 bracket.

Any advice? Thanks/

Veritas, GMATPrep (version 1 and 2), Kaplan, Princeton, etc..

Also, MGMAT can reset the tests for you (you might get some repeats, but the question pool is large)

maybe work on the question types that gave you the most trouble. then practice, practice, practice!
manhattan gmat online sample tests worked best for me.

I would actually recommend not worrying about taking too many more practice tests. I would instead focus on the types of problems that give you the most trouble and then go back to the basics/fundamentals for those areas and do a lot of targeted practice problems. If you take too many practice tests, you will probably get too caught up on how you did and spend less time focusing on how to improve. Practice tests are nice in that they get you accustomed to the rhythm and timing of the test, but I believe the notion of taking as many as possible to improve is misguided and ultimately unproductive.
