Need suggestion regarding practice test and how to improve the score [#permalink]

Hi vaibhavipadma,

Given the 'swings' in these CAT scores, and the repeat questions on this last CAT, there's some question as to whether the 650 is a realistic score result or not. You also didn't answer all of my prior questions, so it's tougher to assess your situation and give you the most appropriate advice that you're looking for. If your current ability level is actually closer to 600 than to 650, then you will likely need more time to study than you've allotted.

Re: Need suggestion regarding practice test and how to improve the score [#permalink]
Hello,
I took all the tests at home
I took first two tests at the same time as my official gmat .I think I can still improve my quant score but I need more practice in verbal.As MGmat prepares us well for quant than verbal I am unable to decide between MGmat and exampack.Is exampack worth it ?

Hi vaibhavipadma,

It's important to remember that taking lots of CATs will NOT make you a better Test Taker. A CAT is really a 'measuring device' - when used correctly, it will give you a realistic score and help define your strengths and weaknesses, but it will NOT help you to fix any of those weaknesses. To raise your scores, you have to put in the necessary practice and repetitions. The CAT will show you whether your studies are helping you to improve or not.

As far as practice CATs are concerned, the most realistic CATs are the GMAC CATs - the MGMAT CATs will provide you with a reasonably accurate score though (assuming that you use them correctly).
