Hello everyone!
For those of you who are scoring at least a 700, do you all try to answer every single question correctly or do you strategise? Like trying to answer the first 13 correctly and then get the following 2 questions wrong on purpose and then try to answer every 2/3 of every following questions correctly?
Cause I feel that no matter how good you get, the CAT exam will always adjust to your level and will end up facing the same difficulty as if you haven't studied at all. Is this a normal experience? if yes, what strategy do you guys use??
This will be a great help for me!
Thanks!

I don't know of anyone on this forum who tries to get questions wrong. You should try to answer every question in a timely manner, however, on hard questions you have to when to make an educated guess and move on.

Okay, for the last two days I've been pouring over the comments that all of you have made and have found the motivation I needed to re-commit myself to studying for the GMAT. I stumbled across this Web site while trying to find new strategies for preparing for the GMAT. I'm that guy who spent the $1500 to attend a Kaplan tutoring program. I started in March and here it is approaching the end of July and I've plateaued only scoring anywhere from 620 to 680 on the Kaplan CATs. I did find solace when I read that Kaplan scores are grossly understated. I'm hoping to score a minimum 720, and I'm giving myself until the end of September to be ready. I can commit to 16-18 hours a week to study. I feel that should give me enough time to hit my goal.
What I have found from reading your comments so far:
(1). In addition to my Kaplan material, get “MGMAT SC,” OG 11th ed, and utilize the challenges (I’ve already purchased the full set).
(2). Create a schedule and stick to it (some of you provided great tips for this, thanks)
(3). Create a detailed log to track mistakes, progress, and time spent on each problem.
(4). Inform family and friends I won’t be available for the next couple of months while I study.
Now I’ve read that a lot of people have found success with the PowerPrep CATs. Hopefully I don't sound too naive, but what are they and where can I get them. And lastly, is there anything else I should do to come up with a sound strategy to reach my goal. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
