Dear Experts
I have given 5 mock tests in 1.5 weeks till last week w/following scores in GMAT conditions.
Test 1. Quant - 37 / Verbal - 26 / IR - 3 Score - 530
Test 2. Quant - 35 / Verbal - 26 / IR - 4 Score - 510
Test 3. Quant - 36 / Verbal - 24 / IR - 4 Score - 510
Test 4. Quant - 36 / Verbal - 18 / IR - 4 Score - 460
Test 5. Quant - 41 / Verbal - 25 / IR - 5 Score - 550
My target score is 660 - 680 & need help with which areas to focus on weekly practice and access to more relevant sectional questions + mock tests till November week 1.
My sectional average analysis shows following :
1. Quant - More DS questions incorrect as compared to PS questions ( DS - 40% - 69% / PS - 60% - 80%). topics incorrect around co-ordinate geometry / triangles / inequalities / circles / quadrilaterals / solving two linear equations with 1 unknown. please suggest weekly plan
2. Verbal - CR / RC (55 - 65 % ) SC - 70% +. RC and CR are main concern areas.please suggest weekly plan
Thank you for your kind & timely support.

Hi swarup1981,
From your post, it's not clear whether you took a CAT once every 1.5 weeks OR you took all 5 CATs over the last 10 days. GMAC has publicly stated that the Official Score that you earn on Test Day is within +/- 30 points of actual ability. Assuming a similar 'swing' in how your CATs function, most of your CAT score results show that you essentially performed the same each time (530 +/- a few points). Raising a 530 to a 660+ will likely take at least another 2-3 months of consistent, guided study - and you'll have to make significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections.
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would 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 study materials have you used so far?
Goals:
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?

Goals:
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT? - Planned in November 2017
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School? - Planning earliest post GMAT
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to? - 1 year programs
