Hi everyone,
I am an engineer by profession and have a work-ex of 4 years.
I have scheduled my exam on 27 July 2017. With one month to go, I need some advise to analyze my weaknesses and a plan to breach the 700 mark.
My test scores are :
MGMAT1 : 570
MGMAT2 : 620
GMATPrep1 : 650
MGMAT3 : 650 (Q44 V35) - latest
In my last test I got two strings of 4 consecutive questions wrong in Quant which I think might have lowered my score considerably.
I took too much time on the level 700-800 quant questions and got them wrong. The subsequent questions were easier but I tried to rush through them to make up for the lost time, made careless mistakes and got them wrong too.
I am also not getting enough time for the last ten questions (13 minutes in the last test) in the Quant section
I got 4 out of 11 questions (700-800 difficulty) correct. I have read that it is sometimes better to avoid 700-800 difficulty questions by making an intelligent guess and moving on to the next question. But how do I identify such questions before wasting too much time on them?
In problem solving, I got 8 questions wrong out of 22.
In DS, I got 8 questions wrong out of 15.
In Verbal - I got 7/14 correct in Critical Reasoning. (some of them were quite simple )
8/12 correct in Reading Comprehension
9/16 correct in Sentence Correction
Also, the order of the sections I chose was Quant->Verbal->IR and Essay (First attempt in this format).
How should I proceed from here? I am targeting a score of 720 on the actual exam.
Thanks in advance.

Hey,
As I see your strongest side is Verbal.
Have you intentionally considered to take Quant first?
My strong side is Quant and I'm going to take Qaunt first too, then Verbal (weakest side).

Hi apurvroy,
GMAC has publicly stated that the Official Score that you earn on Test Day is within +/- 30 points of actual ability. Assuming a similar 'swing' in how your CATs function, your 3 recent CAT score results show that you essentially performed the same each time (+/- a few points). If you've gotten 'stuck' at this particular score level, then you'll likely need more than 4 weeks of additional study to hit your score goal. Using your last CAT score as a gauge, you will have to make improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections to get up to the 720+ level.
1) How long have you studied?
2) What study materials have you used?
3) What were your Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores on each of your CATs?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
5) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich
