Dear GMAT Experts,
I would really appreciate your input on my test results for the first practice test I have ever taken (the Official GMAT practice test#1). I have noted the stats below:
+ Overall: 630 (68th percentile)
+ IR: 4 (40th percentile; 4/8)
+ Q: 40 (41st percentile; 25.5/51)
+V: 36 (81st percentile; 25.5/51)
+AWA: fairly certain it is a 5 / 5.5 (maybe even a 6)
+V: 10/36 incorrect (3 Critical reasoning, 2 reading comp., 4 sentence corr.)
+ Q: 16/31 incorrect (9 data suff., 7 problem solving)
+IR: 11/6 incorrect
My question: What should I be focusing on right now? My target score is 650 and I only have 5-6 days of studying left.
Background:
I was gonna apply to B-schools in 2021, but owing to a chance meeting with a recruiter, was able to apply last minute for 2020, with the deadline for submitting official GMAT score to the B-school in 10 days. Had heard lots about the GMAT in the past few years, but never got around to studying for it. Going into this practice test, I only had 6 days' ( under 15 hours) worth of studying done from online tutorials. I have under a week left before the actual test. I took this practice test after only studying a few things - data sufficiency tricks, some arithmetic, a bit or critical reasoning, and AWA. I honestly had never even seen an IR or RC question prior to taking this test. It's a bit frustrating because I know that if I had a couple of months to properly study, I would be looking at a much better target score

Hi petsitter,
Welcome to GMATCLUB! It may be a bit difficult to increase your GMAT score by 20-30 points in 5-6 days but you can certainly try. I think you should focus on Quant as there is still a great room for improvement there. If you are particularly looking to discover and improve on your weak areas in Quant; a subscription to GMATCLUB tests is the best way to do that. They are indeed phenomenal and will not only pinpoint your weak areas but also help you improve on them.
I would also encourage you to purchase Official GMAT practice Question form mba.com for some great additional practice.
Hope this helps. All the best!

Hi
First of all, I would like to congratulate you on scoring a 630 with only 6 days of study. It shows that with more time you can get to a great score. It may be difficult to get to a 650 within next few days of study, but you can definitely try. I would suggest to analyze the test and study the topics in which you are weak. You can take more Gmatprep tests and analyze those tests.
All the best.
Great suggestion - I will work through more practice questions to focus on areas that need more attention.
