Hi guys,
I need a 500 to get accepted into the graduate program I want and it is the only requirement holding me back. I took it once back in May and got a HORRIBLE 380. I decided to register for Magoosh, implemented their 3 month study plan, and study hard for over 2 months. I took the exam this past Monday and received a 480. SO CLOSE. I felt pretty confident going into the exam as I had scored a 520 (Q:36 V:26) on MGMAT and 530(Q:36 V:26) on GMATprep.
My plan is to retake this exam next Thursday, August 31st to get these two points in and receive the 500. What strategies should i take on these next few days as my next exam day approaches? Also, do you think I am capable of increasing my score in such a short amount of time?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

Well... at that stage it is a bit of a crapshoot since you may get 500+ by just retaking.
I would suggest to focus on the area you can improve the most send the fastest. Whatever you are good at - build on your strengths for small improvements and focus on weaknesses if you need greater scores.
Good luck!

I would suggest do a healthy selection (10 q each) from each section of OG (CR, RC, SC, DS, PS) for the 5 days and then relax, take the official CATs - familiarity will really help you in the short term.
Another thing, choose your stronger section (from quant or verbal) first in order selection. IR & AWA don't contribute to your overall score and I don't think with a minimum threshold admission requirement of 500, you need to waste your prime energy on those.
Just my two cents, I am not a professional, just someone who's given this exam thrice with mixed results.
