Hey all....been on my GMAT journey since late April, and have come a long way thus far, but not far enough. My first practice CAT, with Kaplan, back in April was a 500.
From April to late June I was doing pretty broad type studying, nothing too specific other than going through Kaplan's book and Knewton online course, and got a 640 on my first GMAT take in late June, with a 6/6 on AWA and 5.5 IR. Breakdown of that was a 43 Q and 34 V. In getting this score, I did not touch any of the OG questions.
Now, I have been doing more focused studying since early July, going through the OG questions, keeping an error log, and figuring out what I am terrible at, relative to other sections, in Quant mostly advanced geometry / distance problems / crazy algebra word problems (which I find from MGMAT are borderline impossible!)
Past two weeks, I have taken two practice CATs since early July, both MGMAT, and received a 650 (41 Q and 38 V) and today a 660 (42 Q and 38 V). I would like to note that on the quant, I was consistently in the 700-800 range up until I literally got 6 in a row wrong around the 20's range. I just find that the MGMAT algebra word problems destroy me!
Anyways, I am not sure how I would do on the actual GMAT since these are MGMAT CATS, but I see this as me being at a 660 still. Does anyone have any advice on how to tackle the Quant a little better? I have went through each MGMAT guide, and have been going with a tutor to hone in on individual math concepts, but I just want to make sure that I am on the right track ? Or does anyone have any advice in particular? I am shooting for a 720 on the actual GMAT...
I appreciate any input....

Hello,
from my experience, you should deduct 50 marks from the Manhattan online practise test / the official gmat test practice (2 free tests) to get your real gmat score.
I max score on Manhattan was 710 and in the real test, I scored 650. My friend scored over 700 on the official gmat test practice and scored 680 on the real test.
Going for tutor is really expansive.. maybe you can try Gmatpill is has recorded teaching video.. as if a teacher is in front of you teaching and pointing out to you at the key points and tricks. I find GMAT pill very useful.
all the best!

Mgmat algorithm is changed in 2012 june. Even i searched for the comments on new algorithm. I did intense research on google but in vain. Some scored +50/70 and some scored -50/70. Hence we cannot tell accurately.
Also note that while writing mgmat at home, you write CAT in totally relaxed atmosphere but in real thing its contrary. However, more than 50% of students who posted online got on + side, so dont worry.
Just keep calm on D day, and everything will go fine. Have good sound sleep, nutritious food etc before the day of exam. Do not study anything but just go through what u have already for 3-4 hrs. That would be good enough.
