Hi Rachit,

In your original post, you stated that your goal score was 700+, but now you're asking about how to raise your score to 650+. Has your goal (or any other aspects about your overall plan) changed?

With a 590, you're actually fairly close to a 650 right now. However, your recent CAT scores are all 'clustered' around 600, which means that 'your way' of approaching the GMAT is likely not going to be enough to get you to the 700+ level (or even the 650+ level). As such, some adjustments will have to be made and you'll have to learn/practice some new Tactics.

1) What practice materials are you currently using?

My target score has not yet changed. I am taking a step by step approach. First I shall increase it upto 650 and then towards 700.
I am currently not low on resources but just lacking a direction. I am following MGMAT SC, RC ,PS CR bible. Quant is all GMAT club stuff.

Hi Rachit,

If you'd like to stick with your current resources and continue studying as is, then that's fine - you still have plenty of time before your Official Test Date. If your next CAT score comes in around 600 though, then we'll have even more proof that you're 'stuck' at this current scoring level and some serious changes will have to be made to get you up to the 700+ goal that you've set. You should plan that next CAT for 1-2 weeks from now, and report back once you've taken it.
