Guys,
Please help me out. I took a GMAT mock test in GMATprep with absolutely zero preparation and got 670 score. I was happy with it and started my hopes on GMAT.
Now I took MGMAT books along with OG guides. Now my grades started to drop steadily in various mock tests to 630, 610, 590 and now..wow 530!!!
I guess I did not answer 7 questions in each section because of time :'(
I am on the verge of weeping because I am actually pretty confident in the core skills. I am absolutely dazed by the scores.I scheduled my GMAT within 2 weeks.
Someone please help me

HI mkarthik1,
This type of a score drop almost always means that you've been taking these CATs in an unrealistic way (especially the early ones), so I have some questions about your studies so far:
When you took your CATs:
1) Did you take the ENTIRE CAT (including the Essay and IR sections)?
2) Did you take them at home?
3) Did you take them at the same time of day as your Official GMAT?
4) Did you ever do ANYTHING during your CATs that you couldn't do on Test Day (pause the CAT, skip sections, take longer breaks, etc.)?
5) Did you take any of these CATs more than once?
You really MUST answer EVERY question in each section - any questions that you do not get to are 'penalized', so the resulting score drop is actually worse than if you had just 'guessed' and gotten those questions wrong. As such, those 14 unanswered questions on your last CAT would have reduced your score considerably.
As far as your overall studies are concerned:
1) How long have you been studying?
2) What is your goal score?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Thanks for the reply Rich,
I simulated the test environment at my home and without taking breaks other than the usual 8 min, I took the tests including AWA. I took these CATs from ManhattanGmat and Veritas.
Initially the questions were very tough in MGMAT and so they ate up my time and later on, I had to stop at 30th question. Please advice me strategies to improve within 2 weeks.
I have been studying for GMAT since 1 month being on leave and I am pretty thorough with the subjects but still scoring badly
I did not apply for any business schools yet. Once I receive my GMAT score, I wanna apply for a good b school.
Please help me out, I am not at all able to figure out why I am doing so poorly even though I am able to answer most of the tough questions.
Thanks,
Karthik
