Dear all,
I am nearing the date for my G-Day, 5 weeks to go, and am looking for some inputs on my plan/strategies.
I have completed reviewing most of the material in the MGMAT guides(I bought all 8 of them including the FoM book). What remains is advanced SC, portions of Quant, WT(got almost all quest wrong on OG
). Anyway, I'm not too concerned about these portions as I know that I can complete it alongside my prep plan for the next 5 weeks. I have taken 4 tests upto now and scores are 520,530,590 and 620(taken 2 days back). The last one was a GMAT prep test and the other 3 were MGMAT CATs. What I have noticed is the Verbal part is hard for me to crack, SC and CR are a hit or miss(and sometimes I don't even know why!!!). From my practice scores, it seems to me that my score, if I would take the GMAT right away, would be around 590-600. I need a 640 for a sure admit into my target school . However, I am targetting a 700-720(tall dreams?? 
). This target is so that I can apply to other schools too that have a GMAT requirement of 650 or so.
I took the GMAT in Sept 2010 to score a 490(39Q,20V,6AWA). I was so disappointed, upset, broken and what not that I quit my job,took a break of 3 months and only then I started to prepare for the test again. So, I have been into my prep for 5 weeks now.My Quant scores on practice tests range from 42-46 and VErbal ranges from 25-35. I found the SC book of MGMAT too confusing and I'm going to start using SC grail now.I was very weak in RC but I worked really hard and now I have the strategy to crack RC(none of the books worked for me). I have done 70% of the OG problems and I intend to go through all the problems once before my test.
Now that I have put forth a little background about me I would like to know - is it possible for me to shoot for 700 considering that I have just over a month? What should be my plan of action?
any inputs welcome
Thank You

yeah dude... the score is very much possible... I want you to do the following:
1. Go to https://www.manhattangmat.com/tags/study-tips/
2. Read the following articles:
a) How to Prepare in 14 Days (If You Absolutely MUST) <<< Brilliant article on how to spot your weak areas and how to cover your weaknesses!
b) Evaluating Your Practice Tests, Part 1
c) Evaluating Your Practice Tests, Part 2
The last two articles will help you make the best use of the Manhattan GMAT CATs
I wish I had read these earlier! I'm sure it will benefit you immensely to read and re-read these articles
Good luck!

Thanks for that link on study tips. It is surprising that I did not see that link on the MGMAT website despite using all their books/CATs .
By the way ,did you change ur username
?

or not entirely understanding the wording because some of the problems can be confusing. Very few were flat out concept errors. 
but I'm going to try doing it twice. I really LOVED your suggestion on selecting problems - I must admit I never thought of anything even near 
. I have not even attempted it once. Now that you mention it, I'm going to start working on that too.
