Hello everyone,
I started preparing for the GMAT three months back and about a month back I started giving mock test and I scored just 600 on the Manhattan's GMAT test. Also, I scored 730 on expert global's GMAT test. I am confused about what should I do now and which score should I take as a real indicator of my preparation. I am planning to take my GMAT exam in 15 days. I really need guidance about what should I do next.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hey Insiya,
I'm a bit short on information at the moment, so have difficulty giving advice. The only comment I can make now is that the official CATs from GMAC are considered most reliable, so the two you have taken, while they do suggest considerable progress, are not necessarily indicative of your current abilities.
To give more specific advice, I'd appreciate the answer to the following:
1. What is your target score?
2. What materials have you studied with so far?
3. Have you created an error log? That is, are you currently capable of identifying your weak points and your strengths?
4. When you took the last CAT, did you take it in conditions as similar as possible to the real exam? Same time of day, full length exam with no breaks, no help from calculator/phone, etc.?
If you like, consider creating a free account with us here. Every section starts with a brief diagnostic which will help us and you measure your current ability.

Thank you so much DavidTutorexamPal for your reply.
Well, My target score is 710 and I gave all my exam in GMAT's actual time format without any break. As far as study materials are concerned, I referred to Kaplan GMAT prep.
I am facing quite difficulty in verbal. In quant, I work really hard to speed up my logical thinking and calculations but it doesn't seem to improve.

Hi Insiya,
Happy to help
First of all, it is excellent that your CAT was taken in similar conditions to the actual test but I would still request that you take an official CAT from mba.com. Once you have, report back to us here and we will be happy to analyze it for you.
When you solve Quant questions, do you usually try writing them out as equations and explicitly solving? While this works, it often takes far more time than necessary. Many questions can be solved by what we call Alternative methods, such as picking numbers or eliminating impossible answer choices (and many others). These methods are more efficient than calculations but are not guesses - they get you to the right answer ever time. Which, for many students, helps to save a lot of time. Alternative methods can take a while to master but are usually relatively simple to pick up early on, consider watching a few example videos on our site.
With respect to Verbal, what gives you difficulty? Once again, timing issues are often the result of inefficient strategies such as reading all of the answer choices. There is no need for this; with many questions it is possible to infer the correct answer without actually reading the given options. This prevents both the confusion and loss of time that come from reading and thinking about every answer option.
