Took GMAT test yesterday and scored 670 (Q49 V 33). I have been studying for GMAT for past 3 months and were scoring well in the practice tests.
Had score 720 in GMAT prep taken 2 days before the exam however actual score came much less .
I am planning to take the exam again in next one month. Any suggestions for scoring 720+.
Thanks!
I have completed all of the below for preparation.
1. Manhattan SC
2. Manhattan CR
3. PowerScore- CR Bible
4. OG 10 & OG 13
5. OG 11 - Sentence Correction
My test Scores:
25/05/2015 - GMAT Club - 670 (Q50 V30)
30/05/2015 - Manhattan 1 - 670 (Q45 V 37)
20/06/2015 - Manhattan 2 - 660 (Q45 V36)
27/06/2015 - GMAT Prep 1 - 760 (Q 50 V42)
10/07/2015 - Manhattan 3 - 650 ( Q44 V 35)
12/07/2015 - GMAT Prep2 - 720 (Q49 V 40)
15/07/2015 - Real Test - 670 (Q49 V 33)
General issues that I face is in reading and grasping the material. I tend to re-read the sentences a lot. I feel I am little slow in reading. I face this problem even in Quant and IR section. So, timing is one of the biggest concern that I need to work on. In the GMAT exam last 10-15 questions I felt I was not able to give proper time. And the last 3-4 questions were almost a blinder.
In GMAT prep exam, I committed maximum mistakes in Sentence correction, followed by CR and very few questions were wrong in RC.
Most question of verbal OG 11 and few questions of OG 13, I did over last few days before the exam, and the accuracy was very high, even for SC section. (some questions were repeat, helping to gain on time). But on the real GMAT I felt in 3-4 SC questions I felt it very difficult to decide between the two shortlisted options after the POE.
Please provide your suggestions. Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi amd04,
Your previous practice exam scores seemed to fluctuate a bit, so your 670 on your first official attempt is a good start. Students enrolled in Economist GMAT Tutor typically see their scores fluctuate +/- 30 points between any given attempt, which is a bit less than you're hoping to jump, but does not mean it's unrealistic in a month.
The GMAT is an event that you can train for, including how you take in RC passages. We helped someone with digesting large amounts of information from the short(ish) passages on the GMAT, which you can check out here: https://bit.ly/1R7dG6K. Happy to elaborate further if you'd like.
Best,
Rich

Hi amd04,
GMAC has publicly stated that the Official Score that you earn on Test Day is within +-30 points of actual ability, so assuming a similar swing in your CAT scores, your scores all fall 'in range' of one another. The outlier of the group is the 760, so I have some questions about how you took each of these CATs:
1) Did you ever take a CAT more than once?
2) Did you take the ENTIRE CAT each time (including the Essay and IR sections)?
3) Did you take them at home?
4) Did you take them at the same time of day as your Official GMAT?
You're performing at a decent level in the Verbal section, but you've used a 'book-heavy' study approach which might be causing you some problems (many Test Takers who use that type of study approach get 'stuck' at a particular scoring level, and that might be what's happened to you). As such, I can recommend the EMPOWERgmat Verbal Score Booster. Most of our clients finish that Study Plan in under a month, so it would fit your schedule perfectly. During that time, you'll also be able to access any of the Quant resources that interest you.
