Almost there... 700 on GMAT Prep II 29 May 2007, 08:43

Last night I took the second GMAT prep test and I am very happy with the results: 44Q 41V, 700. On my first GMAT prep test I scored 45Q 35V 660; that was a month ago and I've been studying like crazy ever since...

I plan on taking the actual GMAT in 2 weeks, however I'm a bit concerned in regard to my consistency on the verbal... my scores have ranged from 35 to 41 on this section.

My question is: what is the best strategy to imply over the next two weeks in order to improve consistency? I'm shooting for a 700 on the actual.

dont rely on your scores even with GMAT Prep.

-Keep practicing on difficult questions.
-do full length CATs INCLUDING AWA to build stamina
-do GMAT Preps at least once more, otherwise twice. Your purpose should be to get familiar with all question types in the GMATPrep.
-In the forum, look for GMARPrep questions asked and solved. Get comfortable with all of them.

Good luck!

Thanks, I'm sort of nervous right now, b/c I know I have it in me to get a 700, however it must all come together on test day.

Confidence is half the battle...going in there thinking you are going to nail it and not second guessing every answer you pick probably will do more for your score than any last minute cramming is going to do.

I'm almost in the same boat here. I just took my first GMATPrep test and scored 700 (Q 47, V 39).

I will take botirvoy's advice and keep practicing difficult question while retaking the GMATPrep test over and over again.

I actually aim for the opposite, usually when I'm doing good in a test, it actually feels like I'm doing bad... Since the test is computer adaptive you should feel like you are getting hard questions and struggling on each one... Especially on the GMAT I need to be hyper critical of my answers, since the test looks to trick you on every question... I always ask myself after coming to an answer... Is this really it? Where could I have gone wrong? Am I actually answering what they are asking for?
