Hi all,
I've been able to get 730-740 consistently on my practice tests but find it incredibly difficult to get over 760. I've exhausted a lot of my materials and at this point, I wish to build better habit than knowledge since I'm pretty sure I know everything to do well. I was wondering if you all had any tips on how I can get above a 760. I have the GMAT Club Tests, all the Manhattan Tests, GMAT Prep, Veritas Prep CATs, and 6 Kaplan CATs in addition to most of the popular books out there. I think I need a mindset shift since I make a lot of careless mistakes since I feel a lot of pressure when I take the test.

Hi jimzhang93,
In your last sentence, you appear to pinpoint the 'issue' that you're facing - you make 'a lot of careless mistakes.'
At higher scoring levels, the GMAT becomes really 'sensitive' to little mistakes - if you make too many, then a 760 will simply be impossible to achieve. So your immediate 'next step' is to DEFINE the specific errors that you make so that you can work to fix them. The solutions to these types of issues almost always require 'steps' and commitment to working a certain way, on every question (take notes, on the pad, EVERY TIME - don't do work 'in your head', etc.).
All things being equal, a 730/740 score would be an outstanding performance on the actual GMAT, but it sounds like you haven't taken the Official GMAT yet. Is that the case?
1) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School?

At high scoring level, it becomes difficult to increase you score by 10 points. Since you are already at the 730 - 740 score, I would not recommend you to change much in your test taking strategy.
1. Go through your error log and make sure that you do not make the same mistake again
2. Pay special attention to the first 10 questions as they build a foundation for your score
3. Analyse each mock test that you give. Drill down deep to the type of question - PS, DS, SC, RC, CR and then the subtype of questions and topics in which you are facing problem. This will help you gain some valuable points.
All the best!
