Hi,
I am planning on giving my GMAT around 1st week of September. Have given 5 mock cats (Kaplan, Veritas, MGmat, GMATPrep) so far and had a stable Quant score of 48/49 (except the one bad day when it dropped to 44: was sick and jittery).
Now my problem is my score isn't moving up. I have done the following:
a. I had figured out my weak areas and am working on them (can solve most of the practice problems from those areas). I know all the concepts, I can solve most of the difficult question in this club (not the crazy difficult ones).
b. I make careless mistakes (out of all wrong answers atleast 2-3 are careless mistakes). I am working on minimizing the same., atleast trying.
Though i am progressing in my weaker areas, why isn't my score going up? what am i doing wrong?
My bigger problem is that i panic in the first 10-12 questions. I keep seeing easy questions and thinking " this can't be so easy, i am missing something" or 'i got the previous one wrong, hence easy questions keep coming". I know that the first few questions are supposed to be easy, but It really stresses me out. Me telling myself before the CAT that its okay, isn't helping.
I could use some strategy/suggestion to help me increase my score, I really need to up my quant score to make up for my weak verbal (38ish score).

Thank you so much. With so many posts available, it is difficult to zero down on the ones relevant to individual problems. Your reply was really helpful. Will work on Pacing and on faster techniques.
I am still struggling to have an idea of approximately how many of the initial questions are supposed to be easy (500-600 level). Is it possible to get a rough break-up (like 5-7 questions easy, then the algorithm kicks in..) or is it completely random?
