Hey everyone,
I’ve taken 3 GMAT mocks so far and my scores are:
• Mock 1: 475(v73/q72/di74)
• Mock 2: 575 (had a few repeated questions, so probably inflated)(q77/v77/di83)
• Mock 3: 495(v74/q81/di69)
Have attempted the sections in the above sequence of marks.
So realistically I think I’m around the 480–500 range right now.
What I’ve noticed:
• When I do questions untimed, I can usually get them right
• Under time pressure, I start missing things and run out of time and don’t recollect what i have learnt.
So I’m confused whether my issue is:
1. Weak fundamentals
2. Poor timing strategy
3. Or just lack of enough practice under timed conditions(although i have done bunch of them through coaching)
Also — should I keep taking mocks frequently, or pause and focus on sectional practice?
Target score: 650+
Background: I am in merchant navy and have been preparing for gmat since jan 1st week for aroud 5-6hrs almost evryday leaving few days here and there.
During the last mock i was not able to recollect things i have learnt like it seems impossible in 2-2.5 mins to do a question which is a bit tricky in quant or di it just seems so overwhelming.
Woulda really appreciate advice from anyone who was in a similar range and improved.
I have taken live coaching for gmat also .
Tell me sincerely should i try again for 2 more months or just make plan B .
Thanks!

understand topics where you are lacking basic or say foundations.. work on those sections and then schedule mock .. dont waste mock exams..
