I have been scoring 420, 480, 630, 530, 530, 570 on some of the Kaplan exams I have taken.

Not sure what I should make out of the scores I have been receiving. I am giving my exam on June 3rd!!! What should be some of the last week preparation I need to do to get above 600?

Any suggestions/comments are welcome

Kaplan tests are tough... dont worry too much abt the Kaplan scores. Use GMAT Prep to see where you stand. GMAT Prep generates a more realistic score!

I am currently reviewing the basics for all the maths and verbal stuff. I am planning to give the GMATPREP tomorrow at 8:00am (the time I plan to give my actual exam). I still have a few quizzes and 2 Kaplan Exams to prepare for. Not sure if I will have the time or not.

I definitely don't think the Kaplan tests are accurate predictors of success on the Gmat exam. While for most people, it seemed that the scores were way too low for how they performed on the Gmat, for me, the scores were actually inflated.

Overall, I didn't feel like the Kaplan exams were the best preparation strategy (and I did ALL the Kaplan quizzes and CAT tests).

During your last week, I would say to give the GMATprep and the OG the most attention. For the OG, concentrate on the last 100 problems of your problem areas - those are the hardest. Also make sure that once you take the GMATprep test, go over ALL the questions and make sure you understand them thoroughly.

Good luck on your last week of prep!

When did you give your GMAT and what was your score? (If I may ask)

I took the GMAT in Feb. and I scored 690. However, in all my Kaplan exams, I scored 700+.

I'm studying again right now to hit that 700+ mark....i have 3 weeks left....
