Hi GMAT Heros,
Please see the attached scores and offer any advice you may have.
I think my peak score was around the time I completed the Manhattan GMAT series of books. Since then I've just been reviewing the notes I took on them and working difficult practice problems. It doesn't seem to be helping me despite the fact that I'm still spending a ton of time studying.
What would your go forward strategy be?
Thanks for the help!

Looks like your Verbal performance hasn't been improving. Did you take the exams under real testing conditions without skipping the essay? How have you been reviewing your practice exams?

Hi alextaylor116,
We discussed some of the details of your situation about 2.5 months ago here:
how-much-do-gmat-scores-vary-test-to-test-and-how-accurate-is-veritas-216019.html#p1668191
GMAC has publicly stated that the Official Score that you earn on Test Day is within +/-30 points of actual ability. Assuming a similar 'swing' in how your CATs function, your CAT score results show that you're relatively close to your goals. Your CAT scores are all clustered around the high-600s, so it's likely that your current ability level is right around 670 +/- a few points. You mentioned that you have been focusing on 'difficult' questions, but that clearly is NOT what you need right now. Those difficult questions do not represent the missing points that you're looking for. Instead, you should be defining WHY you're getting questions wrong so that you can fix whatever little mistakes you're making.
On this last CAT, how many questions did you get wrong...
1) Because of a silly/little mistake? Be honest with this assessment - how many of those wrong answers were actually on 'gettable' questions?
2) Because there was some math/verbal that you just didn't know how to do?
3) Because the question was too hard?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
