Hi
I took the GMAT prep 4 (exam pack 1) today and scored a 640 (Q46 (lowest of all my mocks) ... V31...RC42, CR33, SC 26)...IR6
Dont know what to do...I have been preparing every single day for past 6 months literally..but I think GMAT is not for dumb guys like me.
My target is 700 and applications for my colleges close by october 2016...worst case I need to score 700 before september so that I spend some time for applications.
I have scheduled my exam next week. So it is very obvious that I should postpone it.
Kindly tell me what to do. completely feeling blank. I am ready to spend 3 hours on weekdays and 5 hrs on weekends ---I am already doing that----- Do i need to join any coaching ?
My previous mock scores:
GMAT Prep 2 (free test) - 700 (Q48/V37) IR 8....with a breakup of CR41,RC36,SC31........this was a retake..I took this 2.5 months back and scored a 610. So i uninstalled prep and reinstalled it. I was able to find very few old questions and didn`t remember much of the answers.
Manhattan 1 - 670 (q45 v36)---IR1
Gmat Prep 1 - 660 (q49 v31)----ESR-----for verbal alone -----CR35 , SC35, RC25 .... IR6
Gmat Prep 3 (EP1 purchased) - 660 (q49 v31) -----for verbal alone CR39 RC30 SC25 ....IR8
The exams were taken under exam type settings with AWA, IR and 8 minute breaks.
Thanks
Balaji

Hi Balaji,
Getting upset is something which you should completely avoid because it will harm you more than weakness any topic...
so analyze your gmat prep result, find the weaknesses and improve upon it..
Since you have time, may be better to postpone the exam...But the time is of use if you are able to understand the weak areas and work upon it..
BTW, you should be happy that your lower edge seems to be 660 and you have 40 more to cross..
Cheer up! You are doing good and would cross that hurdle.
First look for your weaknesses

Hi Balajikarthick1990,
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, your CAT score results show that you essentially performed the same each time (+- a few points). By extension, this means that 'your way' of approaching the Exam would likely earn you a score in the mid-600s.
Thankfully, you CAN train to score at a higher level, but you're going to have to learn to 'see' (and respond to) the GMAT in new ways. At your current level, the GMAT becomes really 'sensitive' to little mistakes - if you make too many, then a 700+ becomes impossible to achieve.
On this last CAT, how many questions did you get wrong....
1) Because of a silly/little mistake?
2) Because there was some math/verbal that you just didn't know how to do?
3) Because the question was too hard?
Pushing back your Test Date is probably a good idea (just remember that you have to officially make that choice at least 7 full days before your current appointment date/time). To score at a higher level, you'll likely have to make some fundamental changes to how you 'see' (and respond to) the Test. Those changes will might require that you invest in some new practice materials and learn/practice some new Tactics.
