GMAT Inequalities is a high-frequency topic in GMAT Quant, but many students struggle because the concepts behave differently from standard algebra. Understanding the right rules, patterns, and edge cases can significantly improve both speed and accuracy.- May 06

Hi
I have my GMAT in 10 days and have been studying for the last 2.5 months. This would be my second attempt at GMAT. I gave my first GMAT last year and scored 630. This time I'm hoping to get a really good score. But today I gave Veritas and scored 660 (:S). And this has got me worried as I don't want to mess my main GMAT. And with only 10 days left to the main day, I am a bit confused on how to proceed next. The score on Veritas is below expectations. In both quant and verbal sections, I had to rush through the last 5 questions.
I am planning to give GMAT Prep 6 on 22nd of this month. I've also seen so many posts of people retaking GMAT Prep two or even three times. Wanted an advice on whether I should retake GMAT prep again? And also wanted to know any tips on speeding on exam for I find myself rushing through the last set of questions in each section most of the times.
August 11th - GMAT Prep 1 - 690 (Q48, V36)
August 17th - GMAT Prep 2 - 740 (Q49, V42)
August 31st - Manhattan Practice Test - 680 (Q45, V37)
September 9th - GMAT Prep 5 - 760 (Q49, V44)
September 14th - Veritas Free Practice Test - 660 (Q48, V33)
Any last minute tips to improve performance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi Reet19,
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information about how you've taken your CATs and your goals:
When you took your CATs:
1) Did you take the ENTIRE CAT each time (including the Essay and IR sections)?
2) Did you take them at home?
3) Did you take them at the same time of day as your Official GMAT?
4) Did you ever do ANYTHING during your CATs that you couldn't do on Test Day (pause the CAT, skip sections, take longer breaks, etc.)?
5) Did you ever take a CAT more than once? Had you seen any of the questions BEFORE?
As far as your goals and plans are concerned:
1) What is your overall score goal?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
3) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

Hi Reet19,
The good news is that you have scored quite well on your last two GMAT prep exams and that the official MBA.com exams provide a very accurate scoring algorithm. If you want further assurance that your scores of 740 and 760 were not a fluke, consider taking one more MBA.com practice exam. When you do, try to replicate the test day experience as much as possible: go to the library instead of taking the test in your house or apartment, do not take any extended breaks, and complete the entire exam in one sitting. If you score in a similar range, you are likely to be well prepared for the actual test. If for some reason you do not score in the 740 to 760 range, feel free to reach back out and we can provide some further advice.
Here’s a great article that has some strategies you can follow the week leading up to your GMAT.
