Hi,
I've been prepping for about 3 months for the GMAT, and i;ve put a significant effort into it. When i started prep, i could barely manage a q44 v 26.
i bought the following books : NOVA GMAT math prep. Barron's GMAT math prep. manhattan verbal set. complete OG set. Manhattan advanced quant.
after a month i decided to take a test and bought the veritas test set. i have given 4 tests so far and I have generally managed to score a q 47/48( whether im having a good day or a bad one)
and v 30 or 31.
In the verbal, i am really good at the reading comprehension , above average at CR and terrible at SC
In my last manhattan test, i got a 680 Q 48 V 35
1. How accurate is the manhattan score, esp the verbal part.
2. any ideas on how i can really ace the SC ( im working on it . using the manhattan SC and e-gmat SC. I hate studying for SC . Might take me some time to finish it.)
3. I dont think i have the time to solve all the OG questions( i have all three books ). Is this going to be a problem? would attempting the last 50 in each section suffice? I havnt even finished all my quant books which ive mentioned above.
4. In case i really run out of time, i intend to solve all the questions from the gmat prep software + additional 4 test packs. I felt a couple of questions in the veritas and manhattan tests were really really tough and when i looked them up, certain posts on gmat club and other such websites said they weren't very good questions. So i intend on avoiding such questions and wasting my time.
5. Any tips or ideas on how i can use my last 28 days to capitalize on my work so far.
Thanks!

Hi shershahsuri,
Based on your recent CAT scores, you've made some really nice progress from your earlier GMAT score (back in January). Before we can discuss how to raise these recent scores even higher, I'd like to know a bit more about how you've been taking 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 when you plan to take 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?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

It's good that your overall score has increased gradually
1. The verbal score in Mangattan CAT is rather similar to the actual one. The range is +/- 10.
2. You could take a look at this post
https://gmatclub.com/forum/how-to-impro ... l#p1643215
3. There are many many members in this forum who have already scored a 700+ score said that they didn't solve every question on OG books but they did have a good strategy to boost up their score.
5. EMPOWERgmatRichC could answer this quetsion.
