I have planned to give GMAT on 2nd week of oct.I have given several mocks.Mentioned below are list of mocks and their scores:

CAT 4 Completed 8/30/2015- 590 Q-42,V-30
CAT 3 Completed 8/16/2015-630 Q-41,V-35
CAT 2 Completed 8/9/2015 - 610 Q-45,V-30
CAT 1 Completed 7/12/2015 -580 Q-44,V-26

GMAT Prep 1- 690 Q-50,V-33

My scores are hovering from 590 to 690..can you kindly help what should i do in last one month and what to do improve my verbal score?is it required to postpone GMAT??

Hi biswa1991,

The first thing we need to know here is your target score.

You still have 1.5 months to prepare and that is a sufficient amount of time to prepare for the GMAT.
I can see that you have scored decently on the GMAT Prep test.

The official questions are the best representation of your preparation and you should focus on them extensively.
You may want to supplement your studies with the Question Pack1 and Exam Pack1

Also, make an error log starting from today, if you have not been doing so. Make sure that you note down any new thing you learn while going through the solutions of the questions you got wrong. You should revise this log every other day, so that you do not make the same mistakes again in the GMAT.

Hi biswa1991,

I'd like to know more about your studies and your overall timeline/goals:

1) What is your goal score?
2) How long have you been studying?
3) What materials have you been using?

4) Which CATs have you used?
5) Did you take the ENTIRE CAT each time (including the Essay and IR sections)?

6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) Do you know which Schools you plan to apply to?

Thankfully, the GMAT is a predictable, standardized Test, so you CAN train to score at a higher level.

Hi biswa1991,

The score result from GMAT Prep1 is something of an 'outlier', so I'd like to know more about that CAT:

1) When did you take that CAT?
2) Did you take that CAT more than once?
3) Had you seen any of the questions before (on a PDF, in the Forums here, etc.)?
4) Did you take the FULL CAT (including the Essay and IR sections)?
5) Did you do anything during that CAT that you won't be allowed to do on Test Day (skip sections, pause the Test, take longer breaks, etc.)?
