Hi Tactic101,

To answer your immediate question: you must make sure to answer ALL questions in each section (since not answering a question is worse for your score than simply answering it wrong).

Assuming that your Score Goal is still 700+, you appear to be performing at that level right now. When are you planning to take the Official GMAT?

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the response. What would you recommend I do in the next two weeks to prepare? I'm planning to take a third and likely final practice test a week from tomorrow; I'm also getting my verbal back up to speed. I've been focusing on quant using manhattan's guided problem sets, but I'm kind of at a loss for what to do now that I'm through pretty much all of the OG problems. Thanks!

Hi Tactic101,

With this recent CAT Score, you don't appear to have any big 'weak spots' in the Quant or Verbal sections, so you'll need to nitpick this performance in a bit more detail to define what you should work on over these last couple of weeks.

"Review" is an exceptionally important part of the GMAT training process; your ability to define WHY you're getting questions wrong is essential to defining the areas that you need to work on (and the specific things that you need to 'fix'). As such, I'd like to know a bit more about your last CAT. While a full Mistake Tracker would provide a lot more information, there are some basic questions that you should be able to answer (and the more EXACT you can be with your answers, the better):

After reviewing each section of this recent CAT, how many questions did you get wrong....
1) Because of a silly/little mistake?
2) Because there was some math/verbal that you just could not remember how to do?
3) Because the question was too hard?
4) Because you were low on time and had to guess?
5) How many Verbal questions did you 'narrow down to 2 choices' but still get wrong?
