Hi Everyone,
I've been using this site quite some time (via the Question of the Day) and Finally decided to create an account. I'm in a retake predicament and wanted your guys' advice. Here's some quick info:
-Sat for GMAT several years ago, got a 730.
-Given a career change and my goals, my score would expire by the time I would apply to B-school, so I needed to take the exam again
-Went through all GMAT materials and CATs (Averaged 740, which is where I want to be)
-Recently sat for the exam and got a sub-700.
I'm chalking up the poor test day performance to nerves, and have scheduled a retake in a month. My goal is to maintain my regular performance in the meantime. However, I've exhausted the the GMAT OG questions, all CATs, and all the questions on Magoosh.
For the next month, I plan on doing the GMAT Questions of the Day, and retaking all four GMAT CATs. Though this sounds like minimal prep, I think that my poor performance may have been due to burn-out leading up to the exam. Do you think this prep strategy will be a prudent use of my time (given that I've seen all the CAT problems before), or should I prep more/differently?

Hello and congrats on joining the GMAT Club finally
The GMAT test taking is a perishable skill and takes some sharpening. I can tell from the details you shared that your war-chest (going along with your analogy) is a bit weak. Magoosh has only 800 questions and that's not something to leverage for a 700+ score. I would suggest picking up a more in-depth course or just a set of books that cover your weaknesses. Retaking CAT's is also not the best idea - there is a number of good products out there. MGMAT, Veritas Prep, and GMAC has released Exam Pack 1 as well as Question Pack 1 (QP 2 is coming in 2 weeks), so there is some good/quality practice to use instead of recycling questions and tests you have taken.
P.S. Nerves and sleepless nights - that's always the case. I would not attribute all that much to them - they are always there with even the best of us.
Good Luck!

Hi There,
Good work on that first GMAT. What section went down on the retake? If you need verbal practice I would look into using LSAT materials. Have you worked through question pack 1? It's a good resource for both verbal and quant. For quant only, GMAT focus would be worth doing the week before your exam.
Happy Studies,
A.
