Hello everyone,
I have had a long unrewarding journey with GMAT so far. Below is a summary of practice tests and official scores. I have gathered the courage to take the test one more time. I would appreciate any feedback on the following topics:
1. There is a huge difference in my practice test scores and official score - are there other students who have faced similar situation? What can I do to reduce this gap?
I do admit I did not give any test with IR and AWA. In the official tests I scored well on both these sections ( IR 6, AWA 5)
2. I am currently using MGMAT strategy guides and official GMAC prep materials. Are there any other
preparation materials or tests that users here would recommend. I want to leave no stone unturned this time.
Thanks a ton for all your help in advance!

It seems like most of your test CATs have not been attempted in strict testing conditions. So, probably that has played a role in your actual test scores not matching your mock test scores. Any test that you take should be taken under strictly times conditions, at a time when you have no distractions around and you should attempt all sections - IR, AW, Quant and Verbal.
As for the material - MGMAT guides are quite comprehensive but you might want to have a look at GMAT Club quant mock tests. They helped me out a lot in improving my quant and then you may also want to consider other material for content if you find the MGMAT guides aren't enough for you. I had to use the powerscore CR bible myself.
Hope this helpls; all the best!

Hi, This is Leanna of GMAX Online. If you have not yet thought about taking the course, look at the comments people have written about GMAX here on the forum. Do a search, and you will find out that the course is very inexpensive and excellent. It covers all of the different topics on the test in great depth, from the beginniing, so that you can really review what you know, and learn how to do everything you do not know. The techniques are carefully taught, so that, if you take notes and study them, and then do the homework and take the tests, you are bound to do much better on your GMAT. You can write to me at the email address on the site, and I will answer any questions you may have. There is also a demo lesson on permutations and combinations, and you can see how easily it is to learn from the teachers.
Best of luck with everything.
Leanna
