Can I just ask why you're interested in getting in the 600s?

I often see people coming on here saying, "I'm aiming for 600, what topics can I skip?" or stuff like that.

Why not aim for a perfect score in the first place and then get the best score you can?

Don't sell yourself short. If you study all the concepts and review hard, you might be shocked to find out how well you can do. It's at least worth a try, right?

Sure I would like to get a great score, but the 600s will get me into the school I want.

But truth be told, I would live to get something in the high 600s or even beyond. The goals are modest and will hopefully bare fruit.

thx,

The point I was trying to make is that I believe the strategy of studying to a target score is misguided. In order to achieve a good score, you need to study all the concepts, and work on your timing, and make sure that you are confident about your abilities to ace the exam. Studying for a 600 should be the same as studying for an 800: an effort to learn as much as you can and do as well as you can. The result is only the after-effect.
