Hi,
I am trying to gauge my present performance level based on the various practice tests I have taken over the last 3-4 months.
My GMAT is scheduled for October 1, 2020, and I can really use some advice on whether I should reschedule it to the mid of October (that's the max I can push).
1. June 2020- GMAT Official practice test- 580 (Q37 V33)
2.August 15, 2020- GMAT Official practice test - 610 (Q43 V31)
3. August 23, 2020- MGMAT - 550 (Q39 V28)
4. September 02, 2020- MGMAT- 520 (Q30 V31)
5. September 10, 2020- Princeton Review - 600 (Q44 V29)
6. September 15, 2020- MGMAT- 530 (Q29 V34)
I am aiming for 710+, I am done with the quant basics (MGMAT books and GMAT Club handbook), verbal basics (MGMAT books, however still finishing SC) and have been practicing. I would really appreciate some advice on how can I get to 710+ in 15 days.
Thanks,

Hi Paridhi,
I will not try to discourage you but from my experience, I guess you should reduce the pressure a bit and look for the areas you need to build strength. Start from whether you need to focus on Quant or Verbal. If quant look at the topics you need to improve on and the kind of questions you normally get wrong. Practice the identified topics very well. Look at your verbal and find out if you need to improve on RC, CR or SC. Also dig further on which topics under each section that you need to improve. Finally, assess your timeline once more and look at how realistic your target is. There are a couple of experts here that can give you better advice. I wish you all the best.
Cheers.

Hi Paridhi18,
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, most of your CAT score results show that you essentially performed the same each time (about 570 +/- a few points). You handle certain aspects of the GMAT consistently well, but you also make certain consistent mistakes. Since these results go back several months, it's likely that you have gotten 'stuck' at this particular 'score level'. Statistically-speaking, raising a 570 to the point that you can consistently score 710+ will likely require at least another 3 months of consistent, guided study - and you'll have to make improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level. While I understand that you really want to be done with the GMAT in the next month, if you ultimately "need" a 710+ to apply to Business School, then THAT Score Goal has to come first - and you should consider pushing back your Test Date and application plans.
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) Have you used any other study materials besides the books that you mentioned?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
