GMAT Inequalities is a high-frequency topic in GMAT Quant, but many students struggle because the concepts behave differently from standard algebra. Understanding the right rules, patterns, and edge cases can significantly improve both speed and accuracy.- May 06

Yes..I am going to take the GMAT for the 4th time. I need some advice. The 1st two times, I did not study at all and received scores of 420 and 460. I enrolled in the MGMAT Prep Course and saw my practice test go from 480 to a 580. The third time (today), I was prepared to pass and received an embarrassing 440. I need to know what I am possibly doing wrong.
- I only took two practice tests. Do I need to take more?
- I have gone through MGMAT Study books twice already. Would it even benefit me to go through these again, or try another book?
- Would retaking the test in 5 weeks be okay? Shorter/longer time period for retaking?
Any input would be greatly appeciated.
Thanks!

Well.... most of us have taken more practice tests than we have taken actual GMAT tests.... so I would say having taken only 2 practice tests, it is a bit on the shallow side of the pool.
It is hard to say what you should do and why this happened. Most experience about a 100 point improvement after the MGMAT course. It seems you have been able to get that score with one of the tests. I would recommend that you take a GMAT Prep and see if you end up with a similar 440 score.
If you get a 580 or something like that and that score works for you, then you are close. Most folks score about 30-40 points less on their actual test, so keep that in mind.
Good Luck!

Thank you for your input. I took the MGMAT CAT that I scored a 580 on about three weeks ago. I took the GMAT Prep a week before today and scored a 450, so pretty much the same score. I was absolutely devastated that it had dropped 130 points in less than 2 weeks. I know the scores usually vary between 50 points.. but 130? I have gone through MGMAT quant books twice now. Should I maybe try Kaplan? And how long would you suggest before trying again? Is 6 weeks too short a time frame? Do more OG problems?
