Hi TomKSH,

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, most of your CAT score results - along with your 3 Official Scores - show that you essentially performed the same each time (about 620 +/- a few points). You handle certain aspects of the GMAT consistently well, but you also make certain consistent mistakes; the variations in your Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores are likely due to a mix of lucky/unlucky guesses and little mistakes (that you either made or did not make on individual sections). Since these results go all the way back to April, it's likely that you've gotten 'stuck' at this particular Score level - and you may have developed some 'bad habits' that are keeping you from scoring higher. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level.

Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on your timeline and your goals:

1) Have you used any other CATs/mocks besides the 6 Official CATs? What CATs did you use before your 1st and 2nd Official GMATs?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

While the ESR doesn’t provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what went wrong on Test Day (and what you should work on to score higher). Since it appears that you purchased the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you. Before you can include attachments with your posts/PMs, you need to have at least 5 posts in the forums (right now, you have 4 posts). If you would rather not go through those extra steps at this point, then you can feel free to email me directly (at Rich.C@empowergmat.com).
