Hey everyone, longtime lurker here. I first took the test in January, 2006 and scored a 490. I reached this score after taking a PR class. Needless to say, I was dejected after spending $1200 and stepped away from the GMAT for awhile. My prep for that exam included the PR materials and the entire OG 11.
Today I took the exam and scored a 600 (Q45, V28), after 3 months of somewhat consistent studying (2 months on and off studying and more consistent daily stuying this month).
Prep Material Used
PR Cracking the GMAT 2007
OG 11
OG Verbal (part of SC section only)
Manhattan SC (1st 5 chapters)
Practice CAT Scores
MGMAT 600 (Q42, V32) - August
MGMAT 620 (Q42, V33) - September
MGMAT 660 (Q45, V35) - September
GMATPrep 1 620 (Q42, V34) - October
GMATPrep 2 620 (Q42, V34) - late October
GMATPrep 1 700 (Q45, V40) - 11/24 - reinstall with repeats
(All with AWA)
Final Thoughts
GMATPrep is the most accurate indicator as I never scored higher than 45 in any of my practice CATs. The big mystery for me is verbal, as I scored much lower than any of my practice cats. Looking back, I think I spent too much time on the reading comprehension passages because the topics were really dry (science). I also was having difficulty with some of the SC questions because a lot of them were like the more difficult ones found in GMATPrep.
Based on my prep thus far, what study plan do you suggest I follow for the next month if I'm going to take the GMAT on 12/28 and also need to devote time to writing essays for one school? The deadline for the school I want to apply to is in early January, and there are 2 required essays in the application. My target score is 650+. I think I would've scored a 650 if I maintained a V34 along with my Q45.
Thanks!

110 pt improvement is very good. Nothing to be ashamed of at all.
Q45 V34 prolly wouldve been around 630-640.
Keep studyin man. do some SC1000's or brutal SC's.
