Yayo-
I think you could benefit from Veritas tutoring. Check it out online. Otherwise, taking practice tests at a similar time and in a similar environment is advisable. Being Mexican gives you a diversity advantage, so if you could just get above 600 (ideally 650) you could find success.
Hello all!

Offical GMAT 3 - Planned: 25/09/2015 - Score:
Past weekend I got 550 on an exam that I had already taken and gotten 620!
I know that concentration has a great effect on the exam results, but this made me considerably worry on my 3rd official test. I have already invested some good time and money on this but did not submit applications last year for low scores. I don’t want for this to happen again this year and I only got less than 20 days left for my next exam. My goal is to get a score that’s near the 690±30.
I have been mainly studying from the OG, GMAT club phone app, and SC on E-Gmat. I’m still doing better on quant than verbal. But I’m always missing time on quant and have to blind-guess the last 7-9 problems and I usually finish verbal but with more mistakes than on verbal.
Putting yourselves in my position, how or what do you think I should focus my studies on the time before the exam? Verbal, Quant? More prep tests? Bunch of practice problems? Concepts?
Thanks for hearing me out. Any comments are very well appreciated and will be considered for my studies for the next exam.

Yayo

Have you thought about a Veritas prep course? Mexican ethnicity is advantageous and if you could get 650, you could probably name your schools.

Thanks for your reply Bryant. I was not able to provide an update because I was traveling the last couple of days (didn't help much for my styding..).
I took the trail some months ago. I liked it but decided not to buy it. Now I'm only 5 days away from my exam and don't think I can take much use of it in this short time.
I took my first Official Exam Prep 4 yesterday and scored 660. Higher than any before but I'm still aiming for more.
On my last weeks of practice I believe what I could work on to get a better score is timing (on quant, I tend to don't let problems go) and on my verbal (specially SC).
The schools I'm aiming for are MIT, Berkeley, and Austin McCombs.
Why do you say that having Mexican ethnicity can be advantageous to the application process?
Regards,
Yayo
