I'm stuck at a 600 plateau rn and I have my exam exactly after 2 weeks from now. So, I need some serious help!
Here's my timeline:
-Started preparing around 1st week of August. Took the 1st official mock and got 410.
- Did most of MGMAT and OG questions along with some OG Review.
- 2nd Sep: Got 570 on the 2nd official mock. (Q42, V27).
- Watched the whole SC series of GMATNinja and it helped a ton. Started solving topic specific questions of 600-700 level from GMATclub's question bank (only OG and gmat prep tags selected). Started doing atleast 3 RCs, 6 CRs and 8 SCs every morning then practiced Quants.
- Booked a date for 6th Oct
- 18sep: Veritas mock, 610 (Q42, V32)
- Analysed weak points in quants, studied the concepts from various gmatclub's posts (mainly Bunuel's) and watched a lot of youtube videos (mainly gmatclub's old live sessions).
- 24sep : Veritas mock 2, 600 (Q43, V30)
- GMAT cancelled my exam for center closure reason so booked a date for 23rd oct
- continued practicing in my usual way.
- 9 oct: Egmat's SIX- Sigma mock, 600 (Q42, V31)
My observation- I am guessing so many answers in quant like a freak. I don't know why but I get very anxious about the time and constantly try to analyse the questions in my head and take a somewhat calculated guess. I had solved those types of questions in practice but somehow I'm scared that I might consume too much time so in a hurry I guess. This doesn't happen in Verbal a lot though. I tend to guess some questions towards the end of the section in verbal.
I have 50-70% accuracy in quant topics while SC is 65%, CR 66%, RC 71%. This is calculated from my practice questions where I solve 600-700 level questions from gmatclub question bank with the tags official guide, gmat prep and gmat paper test.
My target score is around 700 (I'm thinking Q48, V38) but due to lack of data, I am not sure what's the average/ideal GMAT score for my target schools. I am trying to meet MCMaster's 2nd round deadline of 9th Nov and I'll also be applying to various other Canadian school for MSC Management/MIM or MSC Finance program.
I am too stressed and can't figure out what needs to be done at this point. Certainly my practice strategy isn't working. I am wondering if working on my strong parts for quants instead of weaker parts will help because I have focused a lot on Number Properties, Factors and few other topics but still can't get much better at them.

Hi Nis20,
Based on the information that you've provided over the last 2 months, you've been scoring in the 550 - 610 range during most of that time - which implies that 'your way' of approaching the Exam has gotten you 'stuck' at this particular level (and that you've developed some 'bad habits' that are keeping you from scoring higher). In a prior post, you noted that you would probably apply with a 670 (or higher), but honing the necessary skills to consistently score at that higher level will likely take far more than just an additional 2 weeks of study. There's no harm in taking your GMAT as scheduled, but assuming that you're going to retake the Exam again if you score less than 670, then you could potentially save some time, money and frustration by pushing back this Test Date.
What is the next Application Round after November 9th?
