Hey all,
I am really confused which led me to post my problem here.
I have scheduled my GMAT date on 7th September.
Till now below is my practice summary : ( In reverse chronological order )
Veritas : 610 Q(46) V(28)
Manhattan Prep : 540 Q(41) V(24)
Kaplan : 600 Q(45) V(27)
Economist: 560 Q(46) v(23)
Jamboree Tests around 5 in which I am getting an average Q(29/37) and V(21/41) questions correct.
I have not given the GMATPrep test till now.
I am stuck with Quant questions around 29-30 correct and verbal around 20-21.
What should be my approach for the next 14 days to get a score of 680-700 ? please advice
Thank you

This part of your post stood out to me. It actually doesn't matter very much how many questions you get right or wrong. Check this out for more detail: https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/blog ... mat-quant/
In short, most people get about the same number of questions wrong, unless they're at the very high or very low end of the score range. The difference is which questions they get right/wrong, and when in the test that happens.

Hi jatinrajvanshi,
GMAC has publicly stated that the Official Score that you earn on Test Day is within +/- 30 points of actual ability. Assuming a similar 'swing' in how your CATs function, your CAT score results show that your current ability level is right around 580 (+/- a few points). Thus, you're looking for a 100 point increase in 2 weeks; unfortunately, that's not a realistic goal. While you could probably train to score a lot higher than you're currently scoring, you would likely need another 1-2 months of consistent, guided study to get up to that level. Before we can talk about how best to proceed from here, it would help if you could provide a bit more information about how you've been studying and your goals:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What materials have you used?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
4) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
