Hey guys!
First timer here posting but huge fan of the GMATCLUB! I am hoping someone can provide me some guidance because I am lost in what to do next in my study journey. I just completed my 3rd GMAC exam and managed to score lower than the past two. See below:
1st- 490 (Q:33. V:24)
2nd- 480 (Q:33, V:23)
3rd- 420!!
(Q:28, V:20)
I have used Magoosh and Kaplan Course thus far (its been about a couple of months since I've used them but they were part of the original study Plan). Currently, using Target Test Prep for Quant. However, I don't understand how I keep scoring less. From my practice exams it seems like its very small errors in addition the time constraints might be creating some anxiety making me forget how to apply concepts.
Anyone been on the same boat or have any suggestions on how to improve? I am going to review my errors from the practice exam today. However, my actual exam is this Saturday. YIKES!
Please help!

Hi velaemilio2,
Since your GMAT appointment is in less than 1 week, it's too late to reschedule it. However, you can still use it as a great 'learning experience' and if you end up taking the GMAT again, then you can use your knowledge/experience of Test Day to better plan for that next attempt. Since this is your first post, I'd like to know a bit more about your studies and goals:
1) How long did you study with each of the 3 Courses that you've mentioned?
2) Are these the only 3 CATs that you've taken during your studies? If so, then on what dates did you take each Exam?
3) Did you take the FULL CAT each time (with the Essay and IR sections)?
4) During this CAT, did you have to 'rush' to finish any of the sections (and if you did, then how many questions did you rush through?)?
5) What is your goal score?
Regardless of how you score this Saturday, the GMAT is the same consistent, predictable Exam that it's always been, so you CAN train to score at a higher level.
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Thanks for responding! I did look into rescheduling my exam date and realized it was too late however I agree with you in that this will serve as an experience and if anything encourage me to take it again.
Here are my responses to your questions.
1) How long did you study with each of the 3 Courses that you've mentioned? I started with Magoosh first to get my "feet in the water" with GMAT concepts which lasted for about 3 months. I then decided that my teaching style requires a more in-classroom feeling and thus opted for the Kaplan live classes (spent way too much money here) but was able to take a couple of their strategies with me. After Kaplan I realized that my Quant was weak and thus started with Target Test Prep (entering my 3rd month with them). At this point I am considering a tutor as I believe that this approach works best with my learning style.
2) Are these the only 3 CATs that you've taken during your studies? If so, then on what dates did you take each Exam? I took an additional exam with Kaplan in the beginning of my studies and scored a 510. In addition to that exam, I took another exam in the actual testing center.
3) Did you take the FULL CAT each time (with the Essay and IR sections)? Yes.
4) During this CAT, did you have to 'rush' to finish any of the sections (and if you did, then how many questions did you rush through?)? There were times were I did have to rush but I definitely have gotten better at timing and the last two I finished with no problems.
5) What is your goal score? I need to get a 650 for the schools I want to apply to. I understand that with my scores now that seems like a long shot but I'm staying confident.
