Hey all!
I have been preparing for around 5 months. I scored a 660 (Q47, V34) on my official attempt on 2nd August. I’ve booked another attempt for 2nd Sept. I recently took a Sigma X mock (eGMAT) and scored a 570 (Q42, V27). This is my lowest score on Verbal till date. I don’t know how to take it. Please suggest ways to recover from this. I’m aiming for a 700+ score.
I took a GMAT Club Quant CAT yesterday and scored a Q46.
It would be great if anyone could suggest last one week strategy. For my last attempt, I ended up revising in a very haphazard manner. It would be great if someone can help me with a structure for this.
Also, I’m pretty clueless about IR. If I could spend about 8 odd hours on IR prep, what resources would you recommend?
Thankss in advance!!

Hi Nomad48,
The scoring algorithm on the Official GMAT is far more complicated than most people realize. Since that algorithm is proprietary, no GMAT company has an exact match for it, thus CAT scores can vary a bit based on the 'biases' involved in their respective designs. In addition, there are a variety of factors that can influence your performance on your practice CATs that have nothing to do with the 'brand' of CAT that you are using (including the time of day you take your test, how well-rested you are, the environment that you take the test in, etc.). You might have just had a 'bad day' when you took this most recent CAT, or maybe it wasn't a particularly realistic Exam... or maybe you got a bit lucky when you scored 660 a couple of weeks ago (and this 570 is actually closer to your current 'ability level'). We won't know for sure until we define your prior work in more detail.
Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
1) What type of study routine have you been following? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Thanks for the reply!
1. I’ve been studying for 5 hours per day on an average for the last 5 months.
2. I’ve been preparing using the e-GMAT course. I started my prep with verbal. When I was doing only verbal prep, my accuracy in all three subsections was high. However, after I shifted my focus to Quant, I did see a fall in my Verbal accuracy.
3. Mock 1 (e-GMAT) 27th July - 640 (Q41, V36)
Official Attempt 2nd August - 670 (Q47, V35)
Mock 2 (e-GMAT) 20th August - 570 (Q42, V27)
Please help me with IR resources. I’m really clueless.
Thanks!
