Hi bpegenaute,
You're asking for a rather specific resource, but it's possible that what you "want" and what you actually "need" (to hit your Score Goal) are not the same thing. Earlier this year, you posted a Study Plan/time (here:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/coach-huntin ... l#p1998374). Did you end up following that plan?
There are a variety of Experts in the forums here who could potentially help you to achieve your Goals, but before I (or anyone else) can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) How have you scored on EACH of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
4) Have you taken the Official GMAT? If you have, then how did you score (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
Goals:
5) What is your goal score?
6) When are you planning to (re)take the GMAT?
7) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
8) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hi Rich,
Thanks for your reply
I started my preparation earlier in the year with
Manhattan Prep and followed their online course, due to unforeseen personal/professional circumstances I had to stop my studies 4 weeks before test day, nonetheless I decided to go through and take the test. As you can imagine the result wasn't good.
I am now back in preparation since a couple of weeks, following a plan outlined by one of Manhattan's tutors, but I would like to understand the benefits of private 1-2-1 tutoring towards my goal of 670/700, bearing in mind I will be sitting in August 23th (with the possibility of delaying to August 30th).
Here the answers to your specific questions:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied?
Month and a half very intermittent at the beginning of the year, insensitively for two weeks now.
2) What study materials have you used so far?
Manhattan Pre books and
OG3) How have you scored on EACH of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Earlier in the year:
01.22.18 540 Q38 V27
02.05.18 580 Q38 V31
12.19.18 580 Q40 V31
More recent
05.30.18 570 Q37 V31
07.11.18 590 Q39 V32
4) Have you taken the Official GMAT? If you have, then how did you score (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
I took one test last year with close to no prep at all to see how the test was and knowing what I could be putting myself against: 09.14.2017 460 Q27 V27 IR4 AWA3.0
I took the test even after stopping prep at the beginning of the year 03.27.18 540 Q40 V24 IR7 AWA5.5 (during the test I felt extremely anxious on verbal, which made me wish though the answers finishing some 10 minutes before time). Enhanced report available upon request.
Goals:
5) What is your goal score?
670/700
6) When are you planning to (re)take the GMAT?
August 23rd
7) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
September 1st is the last deadline
8) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
Would prefer to answer this privately
I do understand it is a long way to go, which is why I am looking at surrounding myself with the best advisors which, as you very well pointed out, could tell me what I need instead of what I want to have
Thank you very much for your time,
B
