Hi,
My GMAT is in 2 weeks and these are my practice test scores on MGMAT and GMATPrep arranged chronologically :
MGMAT1 : Q42 V33 620
GMATPrep1 : Q49 V33 670
MGMAT2 : Q46 V37 680
GMATPrep2 : Q50 V38 720
GMATPrep EP1 : Q48 V35 680
MGMAT3 : Q45 V34 650
I just finished taking the last one (MGMAT3) and am thoroughly disappointed.
Can someone please interpret these results to me to help me understand where I might be going wrong. I am taking the tests under timed conditions and start a test at around the same time (9 AM) as my actual GMAT would.
How can I maximize my preperation efficiency in this last fortnight so as to cross 720 on G-Day?

Hm... I did not know what a fortnight was. I have not heard anyone use that term before.
As to the scores - they jump around naturally. There is a standard error built into tests since you only have so many questions and you tend to have your own strengths and weaknesses.
My suggestion for you is - look at your weaknesses and see how you can eliminate making mistakes. That's really what it comes down to - not ever making that type of a mistake again. how-to-review-and-analyze-your-mistakes-167118.html
Focus on the areas easiest to improve and the lowest hanging fruit. Don't go after probability or combinations but instead focus on arithmetic and word problems (unless you are really perfect in those). Try to avoid making careless mistakes - that's what really gets you on the tests.
Good luck!

Haha. "Fortnight" is used quite commonly where I come from . I'm glad I taught something new to you, BB, as that's usually your job around here

Thanks for the advice! I have planned to go through my (extensive) error log in the next 2 weeks, focus more on OG questions in Verbal, and solve 700-800 level Quant questions from my most trusted sources (Veritas Question Bank and GMATClub forums).
Other than that there is a physical aspect of the GMAT for which, I have realized, I need to train myself as well. Waking up at the same time I would on test day, using the breaks efficiently, etc. are all factors that I am planning to include in my GMAT prep.
I hope all this pays off.I really do.
