Hello All,
I have been studying over a year and I feel a bit stuck.
I have done Veritas course recently, where I improved 50 pts, and manhattan tests but still I am stuck at 590. I worry that I will know the test's questions by heart and will get fake results.
Do you recommend to keep doing practice tests even repeating questions?
Any other recommendation?
my target is 650 by this summer.
thanks!

Hi,
I think that it's not a good idea to keep taking practice tests because you have to face 2 problems below.
First, you will see repeated questions. In practice, you could do any question many times as you want because this work will help you much to learn something. However, in exam mode, taking repeated questions will hurt your performance. You could remember all OAs correctly and get the high score and this could make you think that you are too good to earn the expected result. If you remember OAs incorrectly, you will get low score and thus you could underestimate your real ability.
Second, even if you take different tests, taking too many tests in a short period of time without any carefully preparation to the test will do no good thing to you. My suggestion: save all available tests for proper usage.
Thus, I think that you keep practicing. Try to find out what your weaknesses are in those tests and try to improve them.
By the way, I have create a website to provide some "fake" tests at no cost. All questions are from GMAC Paper Test so those questions are of good quality. Try them in case that you run out of available fake tests.

Hi Calandri,
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) What type of study routine do you follow? Do you study a consistent number of hours each week or do you only study 'when you can?'
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) How have you scored on EACH of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
6) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich
