Hello guys,
I took the GMAT 3 months ago and scored 590 (Q46, V27). During my preparation I studied with the OG, Kaplan, took all Kaplan´s CATS and the 2 free GmatPrep Tests.
About a month ago I realized I had to do something about my score if I wanted to get into a good school, so I bought the Online Practice CAT Exams & Question Banks package from Manhattan and this are my results:
CAT 1: 490 (4 months ago, this is the free one I took before taking my only official GMAT)
CAT 2: 360 (Q28, V4) – 3 weeks ago, i quit during Quant because I realized I needed more practice.
CAT 3: 530 (Q33, V30) – 2 week ago
CAT 4: 360 (Q28, V4) – 2 week ago (had problems with my internet and couldn’t finish)
CAT 5: 620 (Q42, V33) – last week
CAT 6: 580 (Q45, V25) – a couple of days ago, I am almost sure I got much harder questions than on CAT 5, is this normal?
My best score is 620, and my target is 650 so I am going to keep studying a week or so and take another CAT.
My questions:
1. As you can see, I practically lost 2 MGMAT CATS (2 and 4). Should I reset the tests and try it again? Will the score be inflated?
2. I took the 2 free GmatPrep tests like 4 months ago, but I noticed they released a new version. Should I take these tests? Will the results be accurate?
3. I want to apply to the University of Texas at Austin, Mccombs. I was told that if I get a 630 I have pretty good chances on being accepted. What do you guys think?
4. Should I buy other tests? Which ones do you recommend?
5. Do you really think that with a 630 I could get into a Mccombs or maybe Rice?
Background:
Engineer, 25 years old, from Venezuela. Since I graduated I have been working in INELECTRA, the biggest engineering and construction company in Venezuela, focused in oil and gas. Right now I have been in INELECTRA for 2 years and by the time I expect to start my MBA (by the end of next year) I will have about 3 years experience.
I would really appreciate your advice.

I think You're doing it wrong. You need to go through the entire Official guide timing yourself. And then go back with a red pen and look over every mistake you've made and every gap in your logic. Write down the right way to think about he problem and then go back and redo those problems again until you get them right. Taking a bunch of tests isn't going to make you better IMO.

Did you go back over them, write down the right way, and then retry all of the ones you were shaky or wrong on until you got them all right? If so, I would think that you'd see the improvement that you want in your scores.
