Hello! I've taken the GMAT for a total of 5 times (three in person and twice online) and am planning on taking the test a fifth time. The programs that I am applying to appear to be sticklers for a 700+ score so I am really focused on getting past this threshold.
My GMAT history is as follows:
3/20/20 - 640 (V37 Q42)
6/1/20 - (Online without a whiteboard) 660 (V45 Q37)
8/15/20 - 690 (Online WITH a whiteboard) (V37 Q47)
8/31/20 - 690 (V40 Q45)
10/22/20 - 670 (V37 Q44)
I am really confused, sad and stressed that my score ended up going DOWN between my last two tests. In advance of the most recent test, I took two practice exams, both from GMAC, both one and two weeks before the test. On those I received a 710 (Q47 V39) and a 730 (Q48 and V40). All signs indicated that I would pass the 700 benchmark! I'm not sure what went wrong with the most recent exam.
My preparation for virtually every exam I have taken was 1) review all the
Manhattan prep books (read, take notes and do problems) and 2) do all of the problems in the OG. I have literally done every math problem at least 3x. I'm not sure where to go from here but I KNOW that I have the mental capability to get over a 700.
What do you recommend my next study plan to be? Clearly something I'm doing isn't working (or is working inconsistently). I'm aiming to take the next exam ASAP but ultimately have until about the end of November so have approximately 20 days to study. Please help!!
