Hi all,
Though I have been a heavy user of the forum for the last 4 months, I have never written any post so far. I would like to ask you guys what do you think would be the best approach to prepare for my next GMAT try in 4 weeks.
Background:
- I started studying on January, did a course (on-site) to learn the fundamental concepts / theory.
- On month 4 (April), I started doing GMAT Preps Exam. Bought the 2 packs, and did all of them... getting 730, 700, 720, 740, 730 and 760. In all of these I got Q47 to Q50, and V42-V46.
- Based on those results, I felt confident about taking the real thing, so I took my first try on May 8th. I got 690 (Q47, V38). I was deeply disappointed! But thought that it could have been an outlier so I re-scheduled for a next trial 16 days after that.
- I took the re-take today and goy a 680...Q47 again and Q35!!! Shocked!
- I really want to apply to the first round (deadline sept'17), so I want to take a full month to go really deep on my practice to break-through the 700.
Any ideas on what schedule I should do? I was thinking of trying the Magoosh thing but not quite sure of its effectiveness.
Thank you all!

You could start by ordering ESRs for your GMAT attempts. If your GMATPreps were taken under test conditions (new questions, with AWA & IR), you can be sure that you're good enough to get a score above 700.

Did you take your practice tests in test-like conditions? Timed, with essay/IR, etc,?
