Gmatclub ToolKit or Gmatclub Test?

Hi LHC8717,

Since you're considering a couple of different resources, it might help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What materials have you used?
3) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?

Goals:
4) What is your goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

1) I started at the end of November, but I focus seriously since new year ( Resolution )
2) I read twice MGMAT Book and CR PowerScore and I did the OG Guide question twice
3) I've still never done a full test, but I scored 5 for IR the first time and I read that the writing could be learn just before the real GMAT.
20.11 530 (Q49;V15) GMAT Prep1
21.11 540 (Q49;V15) GMAT Prep2
But I checked some questions for Quant therefore the score was inflated
22.11 510 (Q40;V20) MGMAT CAT1
12.12 630 (Q42;V34) MGMAT CAT2
29.12 600 (Q43;V30) MGMAT CAT3
03.01 580 (Q43;V28) MGMAT CAT4
21.01 610 (Q49;V25) GMAT Prep1 But I was not really concentred for this one and I will take an another MGMAT CAT tomorrow or Thursday. I finished the both section with more 20 minutes remaining. I think i can score way better in Verbal specially after doing that for two weeks and in Quant if I spend more time.

4) I have to score a 740
5) I am planning to take it in the mid February
6) I will apply in April or before if i can finish my application.
7) I want to apply to St-Gallen and Bocconi both in the master of Finance.

Hi LHC8717,

Test Day is a rather specific 'event' - the details are specific and they matter, so you have to train as best as you can for all of them. The more realistic you can make your CATs, the more likely the score results are to be accurate. The more you deviate, the more "inflated" your scores can become. If you ever skip sections, take a CAT at home, see 'repeat' questions that you've already answered, etc. then you are not properly training for the FULL GMAT 'experience.' By extension, any score result from those experiences is likely inaccurate.

Right now, there's some question as to your actual ability level, but it's probably in the mid-500s to high-500s. To improve to the 740+ level, you're going to have to make some significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections. All of that work is going to take time - likely another 3 months of consistent, guided study. This is meant to say that you should consider pushing back your Official Test Date.

For your next CAT, you should make sure to take it in as realistic a fashion as possible (so take a NEW FULL CAT - with the Essay and IR sections, take it away from your home, at the same time of day as when you'll take the Official GMAT, etc.). Once you have that score, you should report back here and we can discuss how best to proceed).
