No improvement in Verbal scores

Hi Ankit,

Based on these 2 CAT Scores, the missing points that you are after are in the Verbal section. You're closer to a 680+ than you probably realize, but you're going to have to make some significant improvements to how you 'see' (and respond to) the Verbal section to pick up those points. With your current Test Date, you have about 3 weeks of study time. If you focus on learning and practicing the proper Tactics, then you might be able to make those improvements in the time that you have - but if you could push your Test Date back (even if it was just a couple of weeks), then that extra study time could be quite helpful.

1) On what date did you take your last CAT?
2) Did you take the FULL CAT (including the Essay and IR sections)?
3) Going forward, how many hours do you think you can consistently study each week?

Hi Rich,

I took my last CAT on 18th Nov. And yes it was a full CAT.
I can dedicate around 25 hours per week.

Thanks,

Hi Ankit,

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 2 CAT Scores show that you essentially performed the same each time. Thus, it's possible that you've gotten 'stuck' at this score level.

1) What 'steps' do you go through when answering a typical SC, CR and RC prompt? What notes (if any) do you take?
