Wanted to get your advise on my GMAT date. I’m currently scheduled to take the GMAT on February 8th, however, after spending some time in forums, I started to think that date may be a bit soon.
In terms of where I stand in the prep process, I’ve been studying for the GMAT for the last 4 months (took a full ManhattanPrep course). For QUANT, I got most of the concepts / topics locked in (outside of probability and combinatorics), know my weakness areas (inequalities, divisibility and percents), and I am aware that I need to reduce the number of careless mistakes I make. For VERBAL, I’m getting stronger in SC and CR and know that if I focus in these areas for the next few days / weeks, I will improve my score.
In terms of actual test scores, I’ve been scoring around V35-37 and Q43-45 on ManhattanPrep tests. That said, I am aware that I need to take at least 4-5 more prep tests. (I took an GMAT official prep test on Saturday but unfortunately cancelled my score by mistake – felt good about the test though). My target is 700+ for which i need 4-5 more questions from each section.
Given there are only 10 days left to my test date and the fact that I will be working full-time for the first few days of those 10 days, I believe it will be wise for me to move my test date to Feb 13th, 14th or 15th. This will especially workout well since I will be taking off from work starting January 31st and can spend significant time reviewing / polishing up my test taking strategies (however, I can only take two weeks off). I realize that one additional week will not make a whole lot of difference but it may be well worth in my case.
Would you recommend moving my date?

You should. Taking more MOCK test make you familiar to the test, give you more skill, and last but not least, it takes you less money than the real test.

Hi os1994,
At the moment you seem to be scoring well under your score goal, so I agree that it would be a good idea to push back your GMAT. I also would like to see your score on an official practice exam. Would you be able to take one and report back with your score breakdown?
