Whether you are just beginning your MBA journey or fine-tuning your path to a 700+ score, GMAT Day is designed to give you a competitive edge.
Hi all,
Starting with my first mock, I scored a 640(Q44, V33) on the Manhattan Prep's first free mock. Then my score started declining and went to 560(Q40, V27) by the time I reached the third mock. It gradually went upwards and my score in the final mock was 650(Q44, V35). The study materials I during my preparation were OG17 and MGMAT Study Guides.
Last week I took the official GMATPrep mock 1 and it was truly horrifying to see a score of 590(Q48, V23). Although I did substantially better in Quants my verbal had gone down quite a lot. I was expecting an improvement of at least 5 points from the last MGMAT mock but I found the Verbal in GMATPrep wasn't quite similar to the one in MGMAT. I gave the second GMATPrep day before yesterday and scored 600(Q49, V24). Most of my friends who gave the GMAT had a score which was within 20 points of their GMATPrep's score.
I really need a score of 670+ to get into my target school but I don't really see it happening. I'm usually quite confident in myself but seeing 5 months of preparation go waste has really disheartened me. I will have another chance to give GMAT but I really don't want to spend another $250 as I've already spent a lot on counseling and MGMAT books. If you guys have any last minute strategies or tips for SC and CR which are my weakest points I would be really grateful. My GMAT is scheduled tomorrow and I could really use a few tips which could refresh my perspective on approaching these questions.
Thank you.
EDIT: Thanks for your bits of advice guys. Although unfortunately, we saw it coming, I scored a 590(42V 28Q). Was a bad day since the morning which surely contributed to this score. Will start fresh after giving my brain some rest for a couple weeks.

Hi salazar22
Welcome to GMATClub!
With less than 24 hours to the test, I would recommend you to stay calm and
not do much. Run some errands or just go through the formula/notes you
might have made during your preparation.
This post should help you with what you should do 24 hours before the test.
Alternatively, you could read the part - 1 Day(24 hours before the test) in the link below:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/what-to-do-3 ... 52506.html
All the best with your attempt. Do let us know how it goes for you.

You cannot learn anything at this point.
For the verbal section though, I have one tip. In RC and CR, try to fake interest in whatever topic the passage / extract is on. Trick your mind into believing you really want to learn about the subject of that question and you'll definitely be able to overcome some of your fear. Combined this with the fact that in both of these sections, ANY additional information in the answer options, not previously stated in the question is a red flag, and 999 times of 1000, the incorrect choice.
Good luck!
