Hey everyone,
I started studying for the GMAT just over a month ago. I took the first GMATPrep test on June 3 with no studying at all and got a score of 500(27V/32Q). I’ve worked though all of the quant MGMAT books and done the corresponding questions in the OG. I’ve kept an error log and got a lot of questions wrong, but I haven’t worked through looking at all of the solutions yet. While there are some concepts in problem solving that I am weak in, my biggest weakness is definitely data sufficiency.
I retook the first GMATPrep exam today, as I wanted to do a direct comparison. None of the questions looked familiar from my first try, and my score this time was 560(26V/41Q). There are definitely some concepts that I need to review in quant, but I think that I need to work on improving my verbal first. I guess my main question is whether or not this seems like good progress? I have good grammar skills for the most part and do well on papers in my studies, so hopefully I can improve my verbal score with some review and studying with the 3 MGMAT guides.
I have not yet registered, but it looks like August 18th will be the date for my GMAT, so I still have 6 weeks. My minimum score is 550, but I would like to score as high as possible, of course. Does it seem realistic to still have enough time to study verbal, and review AWA and quant? I plan on periodically taking the MGMAT CAT tests as well as the GMATPrep ones.
Thanks for the input! ☺

deebee: Everybody improves at a different rate so it's hard to say what would be "good progress." I would consider any improvement good though. Throughout your prep there will be times when things "click" and your score jumps dramatically and there will be times when your score seems to plateau. Worry about improving skills rather than achieving numerical goals.
Another thing is that there may be some variation from test to test even if you're at the same level. Tracking your progress would be more accurate with more CAT scores.
