Hello guys,
Here is my story, but before some short background, I am an electrical engineer, worked at IT company for the last 4 years.
so two weeks ago I took the gmat exam for the second time and score 700 (Q50, V35).
(I don't really count my first attempt cause I was very unprepared)
I study for the second attempt about 3 intense months.
my strategy was the following:
1) went over all the theory stuff (MGMT SC, Power Score CR, Aristotle SC, material from my Kaplan course...)
2) went over all the OG 12, Verbal Review questions, and some more material I came across (such as RC 99, paper test, Kaplan exercises..)
3) reading a lot of fiction books (more than 2000 pages overall)
4) after doing all of the following I felt tremendous improvement and started going over the mock test in the last month.
some results:
MGMT CAT 1 - 770
MGMT CAT 3 - 780
MGMT CAT 4 - 750
MGMT CAT 5 - 780
MGMT CAT 6 - 740
GMAT PREP 1 - 740
GMAT PREP 2 - 740
(second time)
GMAT PREP 1 - 780
GMAT PREP 2 - 770
5) actual GMAT exam:
I scheduled my exam to 12:30, I was very anxious the hours before the test.
I thought I didn't success in the quant section cause I got very simple question by the end of the section. the verbal section felt OK, but when I saw the final score I was pretty disappointed..
I am planning to try another time in about 2-3 weeks, I would love to hear what strategy you would recommend me to take.

UR prac scores reflect that you have been consistently scoring around 740-750
so actually ur GMAT score should have been in the range of 720-770...However to able anybody to carry out an analysis, u need to elaborate more on how u performed on the actual test..I mean You ask urself the reason for this fall by comparing ur previous results with the actual gmat. I am sure you will be able to identify the weak spots..BTW Did u left ny Qn unattempted?

I think I was quite nervous on the test day (that why next time i gonna take it on 8am),
and I didn't use the whole breaks - just ran to the toilet and got back to the next section (will try to calculate my breaks time next time), and no, I didn't leave any empty questions.
so I wonder how should I prepare for the next attempt..
can anyone recommend on some good mock tests (except MGMT and GMATPREP)?
Thanks.
