I had practiced GMATPrep, Kaplan, Veritas,
MGMAT diagnostic tests and was in the range of 550-590.
I was expecting the same or as they say 30-40 points higher in the actual test.. but to my disbelief and extreme shockk I ended up 100 points less than my practice test score !!
Needless to mention, I have to take the test again but have hardy a month and half in hand (in mid May '2011).
So I am thinking of buying either the
800score package of video lectures ans 5 CATs or the
GMAT Club tests package.
Any suggestions ?
Pleeease help me !!!
800score wont help you that much on the real gmat... 800score helps you on timming strategies etc...
what will help you on the actual gmat are MGAMT cat test and
MGMAT material... the number properties and word translations are amazing.
I would recommend you make a study plant for 30 days or 40 days in you case... see what you got on quant and verbal... I would spend a bit more time on the section you did the worst.. take into consideration that a month and a half is not that much time... you need to be very disciplined in your study time.
Make a study plan, remember to focus on quality and not on quantity,,, any fool and do 100 problems a day from the og12 , but it is much wiser to do 20-25 problems a day and really understand them.. look at the answer,, see if you can answer it another way etc.... that kind of studying has mucho more ROI on your actual score then just doing a bunch of problems. Take it from me, I had to learn it the hard way and wasted time doing a lot of problem when it actually wasn’t helping me to advance. Buy the
MGMAT books. they are the best.
Good luck
