Hi Experts of GMATCLUB,
I have recently given 3 Mock Tests over the span of last 3 weeks and following have been my scores -
MGMAT Mock 1 - 580 Q43 V28
Veritas Mock 1 - 610 Q43 V31
MGMAT Mock 2 - 570 Q39 V30
What should be my steps going forward in preparation? My target score is 720+. I seem to have achieved a certain level of consistency in Verbal but I need atleast V37-38+ along with Q49-50 to achieve my target score. I have not given any official Mocks yet and I’m yet to give my first GMAT Attempt. I am planning to give my GMAT in March( And leave sometime for a retake if required) and I plan to apply in upcoming Admissions Cycle in Early Decisions round.
What should be my strategy going forward?
The general order in which I attempt the Mock Test is Verbal -> Quant. I experience major burnout in Quant. I start losing patience and I’m unable to think straight. The Veritas Prep Mock I completed the entire Quant section in 39 minutes. How do I overcome this and build stamina as well?
I have completed GMATWhiz course. Now if I am being honest I have never actually used OG for preparation. I have solved OG questions on GMATClub forum to a certain extent but I have not solved the OG. What should be my path going forward to achieve my target score?

Aragorn101 - The first red flag is that you did not take a single official practice test. However much great the practice tests of other test prep companies are, only GMAT Prep practice tests can correctly gauge your scoring abilities. That said, I believe you need help in both quant and verbal. While a verbal score in the range of 28-31 is just okay, the quant score in the 39-43 range is quite low. Therefore, you must devote equal time to both sections. I have not gone through the GMATWhiz curriculum but trust it is great - did you follow the exact study plan offered by the course? Also, stamina will develop over a period of time. Perhaps, you still need to figure out the intrinsic motivation to reach the 720+ score level? Doing so will provide you with enough stamina to complete the three and half hour test.

Hi Aragorn101,
The scoring algorithm on the Official GMAT is far more complicated than most people realize. Since that algorithm is proprietary, no GMAT company has an exact match for it, thus CAT scores can vary a bit based on the 'biases' involved in their respective designs. 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 3 CAT score results show that you essentially performed the same each time (about 600 +/- a few points). You handle certain aspects of the GMAT consistently well, but you also make certain consistent mistakes.
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
1) How long have you studied so far? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) Have you used any other study materials beside the course that you mentioned?
3) Are these the only 3 CATs/mocks that you have taken or have there been any others?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hello Aragorn101,
GMAT Club is one of the great platforms to get information about the GMAT official test, Study plan, Section wise instructions, etc.
Your current GMAT score is shaky. You can schedule a Free counseling(https://calendly.com/mathrevolution/1-on-1-session) session for 20 mins with one of our experts to have detailed advice on your current study plans.
A couple of things that can be a noticeable barrier to your scores would be some or all of the below.
• Not detailed knowledge of GMAT Math pattern and Question types
• Inefficiency by using time-consuming Conventional method to tackle DS and PS questions still
• No expert support (maybe) who can tutor, analyze, and guide you during your learning
• Lack of many updated questions and practice in the recent exam trend
• Not well aligned with time to solve questions.
Precisely, there has to be one end-to-end solution encompassing all the points mentioned above. We also want to understand your approach to solving PS and DS questions. Next week, you can try our free diagnostic test https://www.mathrevolution.com/diagnostic/dtExamMember and receive a comprehensive study guide by topic. This test will clearly help you understand your weak areas.
Your study plan will now change as you are already ready with the vital concepts and their application. The diagnostic test report will give us detailed insight into various topics and your performance. After an in-depth analysis, we will draw out the category of the topics in which you are already better and those where you need more improvement. Also, we will be able to compare your performance while solving the PS and DS questions
Also, make a note of various possible combinations to achieve a score of 720+. The possible scores will help you track your performance after taking the mock or practice test. It will also help you maintain balance in both the sections, and you will always be in a great position to allot the study hours to a specific area accordingly.
We recommend that you must learn the Variable Approach for solving DS questions and the IVY approach for solving PS questions in order to improve your accuracy and save time while solving the question types.
The most important thing for you will be learning and commanding the Variable Approach for DS questions and IVY Approach for PS questions. These approaches are the robust self-designed time-saving techniques that will help you learn efficiently, thus raising your score in the quick nick of time.
Register with MathRevolution https://www.mathrevolution.com/member/signup to get access to our 7-day full on-demand course (27 topics, 490 subtopics, and 1,500 questions) for free trial lessons.
700+ level questions https://www.mathrevolution.com/gmat/questionbank are separately available, too. Start with the learning of the concepts. Make a habit of taking notes during the initial learning of the concepts.
After registering, you will have access to the practice section. Initially, try solving the DS and/or PS questions from very easy and easy category questions on the topic(s) you have learned. You may also connect with one of our experts to get one of the best tutoring supports, which will help understand the topic(s) and solve questions and learn how to manage time and accuracy.
Adding to the same, mastery of the Variable Approach to solve DS questions and the IVY approach to solve PS questions would add a feather to the cap. Below is the useful link we will recommend you to visit on GMAT club to experience the power of DS and IVY approaches.

Regular tests will reflect the positive change in the score, and hence, your confidence will boost up. Gradually, with the help of mock tests, you will be able to compete with time and hence will be able to learn time-management.
We appreciate your time and patience in reading this reply.
