Hi all ,
I took the GMAT for the first time last year and scored a 650.Unfortunately,the score fell short of my expectations/requirements by a good margin
. I have been trying to push my score past the magical 700 mark but I always end up hovering around the 650 range. 
Especially my quant score has been in lower 40s and no matter how many times I review and redo the materials and the mistakes in error logs I have ,I am unable to realize my target of 50 Q & 40V.
Sample of my mock test scores:
Man CAT #1 -670 Q45 V 36
Man Cat #2-620 Q39 V36
Man Cat #3-670 Q44 V37
Man Cat #4-660 Q44 V36
Man Cat #5-620 Q40 V36
My accuracy hovers around 60 percent in both Q & V and I am unable to push it up, though I have no timing issues.
GMAT gurus & fellow GMAT takers kindly help me out with your valuable insights & experiences.
Thanks & Regards

HI Vivekrajan87,
Your CAT scores are fairly consistent, which can mean a couple of things....
Before I offer any advice, I'd like to know a bit more about how you took these 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, listen to music, etc.)?
5) Have you taken any of the CATs from www.mba.com? If you have not yet, then you should plan to take one so we can have a basis of comparison.
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

Hi Rich,
Thank you for your reply.
As for the information requested,
1.)No. I took only the last two CATs with IR & Essay section otherwise I took only the verbal & quant sections of the CATs.
2.)I took these CATs at home
3.)Yes I took all these CATS at the same time slot as my official GMAT.(morning 10-13.30)
4.)No. I took all these tests at home trying to replicate test conditions as closely as possible.
5.)Actually I had taken both the CATs available in the official Gmat Prep Software and scored a 650 in both.(with IR and Essay)
My official GMAT score is 650 Q 42 V 37.
Kindly do let me know if you need further info.
Regards
Vivek
