I took the GMAT a few weeks ago and scored a 470, I need a 500 for my Target School.
I got a 29 on Verbal and 25 on Quantitative. I don't have much time to retest before the application deadline, what is the best way to try and raise my score by 30?
Should I focus on just Verbal or Quantitative or try and study both. If I wasn't on a deadline I would study everything, but I am just hoping to raise my score high enough to get a 500.
On the practice exams from GMAT Prep I scored a 490 & 520 before I took the actual test.

Hi blk91stealth,
GMAC has publicly stated that the Official Score that you earn on Test Day is within +/- 30 points of actual ability. By extension, this means that you could have easily scored 500 on your Official GMAT, but you likely made a few too many little mistakes that cost you those points.
With your score goal, you don't have to correctly answer ANY of the hard/weird questions that you see on Test Day, BUT you have to keep the little mistakes to a minimum. When you reviewed those practice CAT results, how many questions did you end up getting wrong because of a silly/little mistake? THOSE mistakes are what cost you the points that you were looking for.
In real basic terms, you have to work in a more precise way (take more/better notes, do organized work) and take advantage of the fact that you can afford to 'dump' the hard questions you face (just take a guess and move on).
1) When are you planning to retake the GMAT?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hi Rich,
I have not rescheduled the GMAT yet, I need to take it sooner rather than later. I was hoping to do in again in 2 or 3 weeks, that way I should have the scores in time for my application deadline.
I was trying to figure out if I should study just Verbal or Just Quant, to try and raise my score a few points. Or just study general concepts for both for the next few weeks. I have the OG 2016 & the Manhattan Prep Guides for studying.
Thanks!
