Hi All,
Firstly, thanks a lot to each and every one of the contributors for sharing their views and making this a wonderful platform. I have been around this forum for quite a while but this is my first post.
My GMAT is scheduled for 10th Sept 2010 and I have been self-preparing for it for the last two months.
At this stage in my prep process I have been concentrating on solving as many Practice Tests as I can and have seen a upward trend in my scores.
However, off late as the number of practice tests that I am doing is increasing, instead of improving, my scores have started falling and this is really bothering me. I am very scared that I may be doing something wrong which is affecting my scores adversely.
Could anyone of you please share your thoughts on what is that I may doing wrong or more importantly what is it that I can do right in the limited time that I have to make sure that my scores are back on track.
I would really appreciate any input I can receive at this stage which will help me rectify the trend.
Below is the summary of my performance on the tests that I have taken:
1. GMAT Prep (No preparation): 480/800
2. GMAT Prep (Post 1 month prep): 680/800
3. Platinum GMAT: 630/800
4. Veritas Prep: 660/800
5. Knewton Prep: 660/800
6. CatPrep GMAT Simulator: 660/800
7. Princeton Review (Free Test): 620/800
8. 800Score: 660/800
9. Princeton Review (Test-1): 640/800
10. Princeton Review (Test-2): 590/800
11. 800Score: 560/8000
12. Princeton Review (Test-3): 580/800
Thanks in advance and I am eagerly looking forward to hearing from you.
Please advice.
Warm Regards, SG.

Hi SG, welcome to gmat club!! 
I dont know for how many continuos days you are taking the CATs, but if you have been doing this for 5 or 6 days, then mind burning can be a reason for your low score. Normally experts advise not to take so many CATs before the test day because of the same reasoning (burn out).
I think you should go through some core concepts in next two days. After that you should take two gmat prep CATs, those scores will be the real reflectors of your abilities. Dont attempt for more CATs after gmat prep & spend the last two days with your family or friends. I personally have no experience with princeton. 800 score CATs are a bit tough in Quantitative section. So just take the gmat prep after two days to find your closest chance.
Best of luck & keep us posted.

yeah i would stop with the practice tests and check your error log if you have one. Focus on what type of questions you get wrong th emost and learn the topics. The last couple of days you should relax your mind - maybe do a problem set or 2 or just review some problems you got wrong but dont do full tests. good luck!
