Hi Aleksandra99,

I think improving from 620 to 700 in 3 weeks is a pretty tall order. Is there any way you can keep studying and take your GMAT at a later date? In any case, here are some helpful articles:

Hi Aleksandra99,

To start, a CAT is really a 'measuring device' - when used correctly, it will give you a realistic score and help define your strengths and weaknesses, but it will NOT help you to fix any of those weaknesses. To raise your scores, you have to learn the necessary Tactics and put in the proper practice and repetitions. The CAT will show you whether your studies are helping you to improve or not. In addition, the process of taking (and reviewing) a CAT requires a significant amount of energy and effort - and takes time to 'recover' from. This is one of the reasons why you typically shouldn't take more than 1 CAT per week - and your last CAT should be taken about 1 week before Test Day. Going forward, you really should not take more than 1 FULL CAT per week.

Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
4) Are you planning to take the At-home GMAT or are you planning to take your GMAT at a Test Facility?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to? If you plan to apply soon, then what specific application deadlines are you facing?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

I have decided that I will spend the next 10 days practicing each section of the verbal separately, then I will practice the verbal as a whole. Then I will spend a few days on quant. And a few days before the exam, I will do the mock tests.

Does this plan make sense from the perspective of your experience?

I have to point out that I am working and studying, and during the week I can spend about 3 hours a day on studying for Gmat, on weekends of course more.

Thank you for all your help!

Hello Aleksandra99 - Welcome to the Gmatclub!

Since you have mentioned that Quant is going your way, would suggest you to continue solving a few of Quant questions in the 10 days you will be focusing on Verbal. This will certainly help you maintain your rhythm (speaking from personal experience).

Wish you all the best on your journey to 700!

It is difficult but not impossible. You can work on your weaknesses and give it a shot.

All the best!
