Hello
I have a week left for my exam.
I've been studying since mid-January. I scored a 730 on MGMAT mock which was my first mock and 680 on a Veritas Prep, a 630 on a GMAT prep mock which was my most recent mock
I got most wrongs in DS and CR. I haven't practices IR at all so my poor performance in IR in mocks can be understood.
In quant my problem is, if I see a problem that has an unfamiliar pattern or ring to it, I freeze out and panic and screw up.
In CR, the best I can say is maybe I just dont get what the stimulus is trying to say. Maybe. But I do a lot of mistakes and even though I do realsie the correct answer I tend to go for the incorrect one.
I run short of time in Quant section and am about 4-5 mins early in the Verbal.
I'm now revising whatever notes I took and practicing question on GMATClub and giving a mock every alternate day.
Please let me know how I can utilise the time I have left the most efficiently.

Hi MathildaBagshot,
You've posted different information in 2 separate posts made today - in this post, you state that your GMAT is in 1 week, but in the following post (linked below) you state that your GMAT is in 2 weeks. What is the EXACT DATE of your GMAT?
what-should-i-do-to-improve-cr-214439.html#p1655115
Taking a CAT every-other-day is NOT a good idea; you won't benefit from taking CATs so quickly and you'll be far more likely to 'burn out' before Test Day. As a general rule, you shouldn't take more than 1 CAT per week. Since there's been some variations in your CAT scores, I'd like to know a bit more about how you took those CATs:
1) What were the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores on each?
2) Did you take the ENTIRE CAT (including the Essay and IR sections)?
3) Did you take them at home?
4) Did you take them at the same time of day as your Official GMAT?
5) Did you ever do ANYTHING during your CATs that you couldn't do on Test Day (pause the CAT, skip sections, take longer breaks, etc.)?
6) Did you ever take a CAT more than once?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hello!
Thank you for replying.
MY GMAT is on 16th March at 9am.
1) What were the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores on each? I dont recall the exact details, but the MGMAT test I got 730 with Q93 percentile and verbal 96 i think and in the recent GMAT Prep i got 650 with devastating IR, 12 incorrect in Quant (major DS) and 9 in verbal (mostly were CR)
2) Did you take the ENTIRE CAT (including the Essay and IR sections)? I took all the tests with IR but not with essay
3) Did you take them at home? Yes, i took all these at home
4) Did you take them at the same time of day as your Official GMAT? No they were taken in the afternoon, when I would have less disturbance in the house
5) Did you ever do ANYTHING during your CATs that you couldn't do on Test Day (pause the CAT, skip sections, take longer breaks, etc.)? I treid to avoid breaks but have taken min 3 breaks other than the optional breaks per exam to answer door. (Could not be avoided)
6) Did you ever take a CAT more than once? (No. I did spend a lot of time on each of my incorrect questions)
In the mean time I'm just reviewing my notes and solving questions on GMATClub.
My timing is quant is a major issue - a. I'm scared of quant even though I've preapred so much, b. If I see a new pattern of question, I just take longer time than is required to solve it. In all the tests, I've ran short of time in Quant and have had to guess last 3-4 questions.
Verbal section I finish 3-4 minutes early. Significant improvement in the most recent CAT (I was able to deal with RC and SC in timely manner). Almost all of the questions I got wrong were CR.
EDIT: One thing i thought I should add, which I have recently noticed while solving GMATclub questions, I am able to answer Quant 700+ difficulty level questions correctly, but the ones that I m try from 600 level or lower I mess up.

You have a week left for the test so until and unless you are fine with pushing back the date, you don't have much time to go back to basics and work on your problem solving techniques. In that case, I would suggest you the following in Quant:
You said that when you come across an unknown pattern, you freeze and waste time. Also, you are usually short on time and have to guess on the last few questions. So then, you should guess on the questions which have an unknown pattern. When you come across such a question in the test (assuming there are not more than 4-5 such questions), just guess on it and move on. It gives you the comfort of knowing that you don't have to solve every question - if you feel yourself going cold while reading the question, just guess - don't waste time. Anyway you guess on the last few questions. This way you wouldn't have to on 4-5 questions in a row. You will have enough time to work on the last few questions too.
As for CR, I suggest you to check out the various question types from our blog: https://www.gmatclub.com/forum/veritas-prep-resource-links-no-longer-available-399979.html#/categor ... +reasoning
There isn't a lot to it. You can get a good grip on CR in a few hours. Once you understand it, you can handle most questions easily. If your RC is not a problem, it means your reading skills are fine and hence CR shouldn't be a problem too.
Taking a mock every other day is a bad idea. You tire yourself out and don't learn anything from it. The evaluation and analysis post the test is what adds real value to your competence. The time spent in taking the test itself doesn't make a lot of difference. Point is, from today till your test day, don't take any practice test. If you must, take one today or tomorrow and that's it.
