Hi All,
I have recently found this forum and have found an immense, almost overwhelming amount of resources on it. I take the GMAT May 9th and have been studying 5-7 hours a day for about 2.5 weeks. I bought the self-paced on demand Veritas prep course and have been learning a lot from it.
I'm not working the next two weeks and therefore have unlimited time to study. I'm competitive and really want to get a 700+ score. Do you guys think based on my situation it would be realistically possible? If so, is there additional material I should be hammering or any additional advice you can give me? I studied accounting in my undergrad so I didn't take much math courses but I was considered strong in math back in the JH, HS days. I have been focusing my efforts on the arithmetic, algebra, and geometry lessons in the Veritas prep course.
I scored 550 on my first practice test before any studying. Appreciate all your help on my journey!

Hey hanzjay10
Welcome to GMATClub!
In addition to going through the lessons in the Veritas for the particular topics
that you have mentioned, you could revisit the concepts which you are weak in
in the first 2 links that I have shared. The third and fourth links are for practice only.

Hi hanzjay10,
Many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores; May 9th is less than 2 weeks away though - meaning that the total time that you will have put towards your studies will be about 1 month by the time you reach your current Test Date. No one here knows you well enough to know what you are truly capable of achieving (as far as a GMAT Score is concerned) in 2 weeks time. Statistically-speaking though, you're talking about an overall Score that is around the 90th percentile - most Test Takers will never hit that type of score regardless of how long they study or the number of times they take the GMAT. This is all meant to say that you might need to consider pushing back your Test Date.
Since it's been 2.5 weeks since you took your initial CAT, I recommend that you take a new CAT and take it in a realistic fashion (take the FULL CAT - with the Essay and IR sections, take it away from your home, at the same time of day as when you'll take the Official GMAT, etc.). Once you have that score, you should post back here and we can discuss the results.
Before I can offer you any additional advice, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) What were the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for this CAT?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
3) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
