March8 Kaplan3: 470 (Q33 V18)
March12 Kaplan4: 470 (Q28 V 19) [19 QS CORRECT IN QUANT > 1 AND 3 KAP) STILL LOW Q

April 1 Veritas3: 540 (Q43 v22)
April 3 Gmatprep2: 490 (Q35 v23)
April 5 Veritas4: 560 (Q45 v 22)
Finally, my official GMAT exam was on April 6. Can u guess what I would score on the real test that I have been waiting for, if not, give it a try.
As I analyzed before the test, my score fluctuation on various test keep hunting me. Also, I have a good thought about Quant that I could score at least more than 40 or for a sake about 45. Although, I know that my verbal would not exceed more than 22 or at most 23.
I had completed all the OG 16 plus verbal and quant reviews with many questions from beat the GMAT forum and GMATCLUB. Before test, what I expected was that I had no idea what I would see as many questions are experimental. My final score was 470(q33 v 21) sadly, its just 24 percentile. I feel that the GMAT exam was real hard. I don’t know what I did wrong on various preparation as I didn’t take any classes. Also, i had taken full length mock except for 4 kaplan's.
Truly, my preparation test scores are also not good enough but I couldn’t improve myself although I kept practicing after each tests during preparation.
If you can derive any shortcomings that prevent me from scoring
higher, with the above analysis, it would be very kind of u to provide me the feedback as I am planning for the next GMAT exam. I don’t know whether I could truly improve on the GMAT, I felt hopeless that I am not improving. I need to break 700.Thank you in advance.

Hi sabinadhikari99,
I'm sorry to hear that you didn't score higher on Test Day, but you already seem to understand some of the things that you could have done differently during your studies. Test Day is a rather specific 'event' - the details are specific and they matter, so you have to train as best as you can for all of them. The more realistic you can make your CATs, the more likely the score results are to be accurate. The more you deviate, the more "inflated" your scores can become - and that's what happened here. You've already admitted that you skipped sections when you took most of your CATs, so there's some question as to what else you might have been doing improperly. By definition, you were NOT properly training for the FULL GMAT 'experience.' If you only took the full CAT on the Kaplan CATs, then your Official Score lines up almost perfectly with THOSE scores.
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you're looking for, I'd like to know a bit more about how you studied and your goals:
1) With a score goal of 700, it's not clear why you took the GMAT when you did. You were not scoring close to your goal, so why didn't you push back your Test Date and continue studying?
2) Can you list all of the practice materials that you used?
3) Is there some reason why you did not invest in a GMAT Course?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
