Your next stop for practice should be Manhattan and then Veritas Prep, use GMAT Club's Filters to fetch out the questions

Thanks

Hi anand123456,

The last time that we discussed your studies was in late July of this year. Since it's now over 4 months later, I'd like to know a bit more about how you've been studying during that time:

1) How many hours have you typically studied each week?
2) Since the beginning of August, on what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
3) Is your Score Goal still 720+?

Hi anand123456,

Regarding prep courses, in addition to seeking advice in this thread, take a look at the GMAT Club reviews for  the best quant  and  verbal courses , and also read through some  GMAT success stories  to see what materials have worked well for other test-takers.

Hi anand123456,

While the most realistic CATs available are the 6 from GMAC, retaking a CAT that you've already taken is NOT a realistic way to assess your skills - since you will likely see some 'repeat' questions that you have already faced. Unfortunately, seeing even a couple of repeats can 'throw off' the Scoring Algorithm and impact your pacing, energy levels, fatigue, etc. (meaning that they would likely all appear to be better than they actually are). Thankfully, the CATs from Kaplan, MGMAT and Veritas are all 'close enough' to the real thing that they will provide you with a relatively realistic score assessment (assuming that you correctly take the CAT in a realistic fashion). Thus, you should plan on using NEW CATs from those sources during this next phase of your studies.

In addition, each CAT is really a 'measuring device' - when used correctly, it will give you a realistic score and help define your strengths and weaknesses, but it will NOT help you to fix any of those weaknesses. To raise your scores, you have to learn the necessary Tactics and put in the proper practice and repetitions. The CAT will show you whether your studies are helping you to improve or not. As such, you really shouldn't take more than 1 FULL CAT per week.

1) In your initial post, you stated that you had taken "test 3 times." Are you referring to the 2 free GMAC practice tests? Can you provide a bit more information on this? What exactly did you do 3 times?

From the information that you have provided, the last time that you took a NEW CAT was back in November, so I suggest that you take another NEW CAT sometime soon (perhaps this weekend) - and make sure to take it in a realistic fashion (take the FULL CAT - with the Essay and IR sections, take it away from your home, at the same time of day as when you'll take the Official GMAT, etc.). Once you have that score, you should report back here and we can discuss the results and how best to proceed.
