Hello people,
I have my GMAT in 2 weeks, and I've been preparing for 2 months. No matter what I do, I'm not able to crack the 760 barrier in the OG Practice Exams. See my scores below.
T (start of preparation)
Practice test 1 : 700 , Q46-incorrect 12 , V40-incorrect 10 (this was a blind test, before I knew anything about GMAT)
T+1 week
Practice test 2 : 760, Q50-incorrect 8, V42-incorrect 7 (a week after test 1. I didn't prepare, just knew the GMAT format better)
T + 6 weeks
Practice test 3: 760, Q48-incorrect 6 , V45-incorrect 4 (after I've done a once over of the entire syllabus)
T+10 weeks
Practice test 4: 760, Q50-incorrect 4, V-44-incorrect 3 (most recent test)
Although my overall accuracy is going up, my score is not increasing. I know that there is no direct correlation b/w accuracy and GMAT score. But considering that my accuracy is improving but my overall score is static, does that mean I'm getting easier questions in the more recent tests? Does it imply that I'm getting more low-level questions incorrect recently? I'm confused.
Preparation Method:
GMATClub and OG questions.
Initially, tried for only accuracy. 85% Hard, 90% medium, 100% easy on Wiley Efficient Learning GMAT
Have recently starting doing 30Q 30V (only medium and hard) timed tests. Still hitting ~85% accuracy.
No major topic related gaps in understanding in Quants. Minor learning gaps in Verbal SC, CR.
Recently, most (~80%) mistakes during tests and practice have been misreading the question. Sometimes the time limit makes me rush through a question
After reading through the questions more slower later, I'm able to solve them with little issue.
What should I do? What should my strategy for the final 2 weeks be?
More info about me :
Country : India
Target GMAT score : 770+ (feel like I need to make up for turbulent undergraduate in a low rank college with multiple failed courses and a 7.5/10 GPA due to bad behaviour. Did better in a top Design Graduate School with 7.8/10 GPA)
Target Schools : HBS > Wharton > Kelloggs > Ross (want to move towards the education industry as PM or entrepreneur)
Education : Computer Science Undergraduate. Game Design Masters. Loads of extracurriculars and volunteering experience. Was in leadership positions in most.
Work Ex: 3 yrs as a Learning Game Designer. Great projects, recent leadership role. Good LORs. Good extracurriculars, including starting and leading clubs at the workplace.
Thank you!

Hi shadowraithsfury.
Since the GMAT is an adaptive test, while your accuracy does affect your score, what matters as well is the difficulty level the test pegs you at being able to handle. In fact, if you look at people's Enhanced Score Reports, what you'll often see is that the average difficulty level of the quant questions or verbal questions they get correct flattens at a certain level, even if other factors, such as the amount of time they spend per question or the types of question they see, change.
So, it's probably fairly accurate to say that, regardless of your accuracy level, the test has pegged you as ready to score 760.
Accordingly, to score higher, you may have to adjust how you are preparing to get to a point such that you get harder questions correct.
I think your move is to continue to practice and shoot for higher accuracy, closer to 100 percent of easy, medium, and hard questions. You could practice untimed and emphasize accuracy, as if nothing matters but getting questions correct 100 percent of the time.
Also, you could use the TTP Streaks method, shooting for long streaks of correct answers, such as 30 in a row correct, which fits the level of the score you're shooting for.
I'm sure you can get some additional key insights from this post.

Hey guys. I just want to emphasize the TTP program (target test prep) as the best option out there. I tried for 2 months studying from books online and every resource out there. It was messy. It didn't follow any logic and at the end I ended up giving the exam without much deep knowledge and relying on my previous studies (economics). Ttp is a game changer. Ive been for 6 months studying and covering all the subjects. It amazing how well structured it is. You just do what they tell you and score high. It is not easy but you forget about the struggles of not knowing if you are studying well. Anyway. Im giving the test in a month and just wanted to share this gem with you guys. Really try it!! Perhaps people who set up this great course could help you. Anyways congrats on the 760
