­I finished the TTP course and gave my first official Practice test and scored 645 (Q77V90D79) with a lot of challenges in careless errors, time and anxiety management. I gave the Second Practice test after a week of doing a lot of timed practices and followed the time strategy given on the forum by bb - https://gmatclub.com/forum/timing-strat ... l#p3370101 (Super helpful!) ...the score remained the same 645 but with a lot of differences in the individual section scores (Q84V82D80). This time I had very little issue with time management (except in DI) or careless errors so that seems like progress but I am still very disheartened right now....I don't know what I should do to improve the score. I want to raise it to atleast a 685, but just going over the concepts over and over again is not helping. Should I just concentrate now on MOSTLY timed practices?­

Did you retake Official Mock 2?

One thing you could consider including doing is seeing which types of questions you find slippery (i.e. combinations) or where you may make repeated careless errors (noting the types of careless errors down somewhere and creating a list that you can look at now and again may be helpful). For questions you got incorrect as well as those you got correct but spent a lot of time on, seeing if there may have been shorter ways to solve them could also be useful.

­Hi Swagatalaxmi,

I think your second test was actually better than your first. Getting a V90 (100%!) is great, but I'd take higher scores in the other sections any day. Also, the total score is what really matters, and one week is probably not enough to see major changes to high scores like 645 (89%).

­Oh ya! I find Verbal scores more volatile than Quant or DI, so ya replicating a V90 in the second test was gonna be tough anyway! Yes I felt it was progress in the right direction as well since my Quant score really improved cos I was able to mostly eliminate careless errors. 

Thank you sooo much for saying that one week is not enough to see major changes! I was feeling so disheartened but now I am feeling more motivated to keep at my practice and then hopefully see changes in a few weeks!!

Absolutely, keep at it. You're starting at a score (645) that many test takers would be happy to get by the end of their prep. :)

All the best.­
