Hey everyone!
So I'm giving my second attempt after 3 months of my first attempt. I've exhausted all the gmatprep, Manhattan Cat and GmatClub Tests during my first attempt and still scored a basic 650. I would really like your help if you guys could suggest me what should I practice now because all these exams will be giving me an inflated score as i remember few answers and the question banks are limited.
Also for the Gmat prep my scores were max:760 min: 680
For manhattan prep Max: 720 Min: 610
TIA

Hi RaghuRamani,
First off, a 650/Q47 is a solid Score, so it could be enough to get you into your first-choice School. As such, a retest might not be necessary. Depending on the Schools that you plan to apply to, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and plans. Those Experts should be able to answer your Admissions questions and help define the specific areas of your profile that could use some improvement. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/ask-admissio ... tants-124/
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) On what dates (or approximate 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)?
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
If you took your Official GMAT at a Test Center, then you might also choose to purchase the Enhanced Score Report. While the ESR doesn’t provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what went wrong on Test Day (and what you should work on to score higher). If you purchase the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you.

Hi Rich,
So I fall in Indian IT Male category. So 650 for me is a very low score for my Target Colleges.
i) So I've studied for 6 months with my last semester of college so it hasn't been a consistent effort on GMAT.
I typically study for 5-6 hours now that I've started working it has gotten to 4 hours a day.
ii) I have used the Official Guide, The Verbal Review, The Quant Review, GMAT Advanced, Manhattan Sentence Correction Guide and Powerscore CR bible.
iii) I actually took all the mocks in the month of April when I gave my First attempt.
My scores for the Mba. com Mocks were
1st Mock:-680 (Q44,V38)
2nd Mock:-690(Q46,V39)
3rd Mock:-740(V41,Q49)
4th Mock:-750(V40,Q50)
5th Mock:-760(V42,Q50)
6th Mock:-760(V42,Q50)
My score took a big jump because I realized that attempting verbal first and quant second gave me a better score as the first two mocks I gave has the order of Quant, Verbal, IR & AWA.
My overall target score is 740.
I plan on applying to business school after 2 years.
