Hi everybody!
As it is stated in the topic name, I am taking GMAT on the 21st of June, in 12 days.
I have been studying GMAT for some time now using The Economist GMAT course. In the beginning of May I finished Verbal and Quantitative parts and started working on GMAT Club questions.
However, The Economist practice tests have shown me that I have some problems. I would like to know whether these are really problems and if they are, how I should address them.
First, my scores for 6 exams are 560-580-680-730-590-560. I took the first test before beginning the prepartion and took the second one after finishing Verbal and Quantitative parts. I was really sad to get 580, because it meant that all my efforts were wasted. However, then I got 680 and 730, and it raised my spirits. My the last test was like a nightmare for me - 560. Should I trust these scores? I mean, with each new test I felt that I was getting better and better, which was not always reflected in the score. Moreover, my last 560 test yielded me 16/31 for Q and 21/36 for V. At the same time, 730 was 16/31 for Q (same) and 19/36 for V (lower). So I am not sure whether I should trust the scores. What do you think?
The second point is my pacing. On average I manage to solve 20 +/- 1 tasks in the Quantitative part and 31 +/- 1 on the Verbal part. Should I work on my pacing or is it fine? What score can I hope for with my current pacing? How far is it from 700? I'm not sure if these questions can be answered based on my pacing only, but if it is possible, then I'll be grateful.
Thanks a bunch in advance, guys! This is certainly the best place to study for GMAT

Hi Krotishka1,
Were all mock tests Economist CATs? If so, I would highly recommend to take official mock tests:
https://www.mba.com/global/store/store- ... -free.aspx
As you have less than 12 days, I'd do as many OFFICIAL questions as I could.
It is very important to complete all questions on time as the penalty for unattempted questions is severe. You can read more about pacing here:

Hi Krotishka1,
You do not sound and seem to be very confident about taking the exam because of so many issues. Address the followings first and then take the real GMAT:
1. Timing
2. Pacing
3. Score improvement
4. Anxiety
5. confidence
When you start getting consistent scores in CATs and when you feel comfortable taking CAT then you would be ready for exam. If you just want to go and give the real exam a shot then no problem. but rescheduling the exam at this point of time, looks to me a best idea.
Were those 680 and 730 in repeated CATs?
What CATs did you take? were they all economist CATs?
What are the scores of your GMATPrep CATs, if you have taken any.
