Hi,
answers are next to each question


EMPOWERgmatRichC
Hi Celestial,

Since you've been studying for quite some time, I'd be curious to know a couple of things:

1) What materials have you used so far? How many of the resources were print resources vs. online resources?
used magoosh and couple of gmatclub resources. mostly ebooks and onlines

2) How have you been scoring on your practice CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
quant 44-45. verbal 30


3) Have you taken the Official GMAT? If so, then what were your scores?
630

4) What is your goal score?
750

5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
within 2 months time period from now

Hi Celestial,

With a score goal of 750+, you will have to make some significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections of the GMAT. Given how long you've studied, it's also likely that you've developed some 'bad habits' that will take some time to fix (and replace with new 'good habits.'). You could conceivably make all of those adjustments/improvements in the 2 months that you've specified, but you'll have to make a concerted effort to change how you 'see' (and respond to) the GMAT. If you continue to deal with the Test in the same ways as before, then you will likely score in the same general range as before.

I'll PM you with more specifics and suggestions.

Hey Rich!
I am glad the way you taking care of my doubts. I did replied to you PM.
Also.. i never cussed on RC till now.. and haven't practiced a lot of CR. just sc was focus.. so in short I admit my lack of practice was there. but wont let it happen this time. let it take whatever to score the targeted score.
Thanks
Celestial
