So I'm taking the GMAT on March 3rd, and wanted some opinions on how well I've been studying, what else you think I need, if I'm on the right track, etc.
Most recent CAT scores:
GMAT Prep 1: 590 (forgot Q&V scores at the moment)
Paper GMAT: 600 (forgot Q&V scores at the moment)
MGMAT Cat 1: 620 (Q40, V35)
MGMAT Cat 2: 670 (Q40, V41) - yesterday
I've been doing between 10-20 questions a night from each of the 5 sections from OG11, and I still have about half way to go until I finish every question in there. Also, I've been referring to my error log and going back to q's that I got wrong to see if I can get them right and had about a 75% success rate with those.
Other resources I have are:
- Kaplan online material from the course (but it expires next week, I'm thinking of calling them to have them extend it just in case)
- MGMAT Word Translations book (I've completed the first 2 chapters)
- 5 more MGMAT CATs
- Paper tests for extra practice during the week (I don't really sit and take the whole thing in one shot, but I time myself and split them up over 2 nights after work)
I've been taking a practice test every Sun so far - with 4 weeks left, when should I take the MGMAT ones, and when should I take GMATPrep? Also, what else do you think I should do in this next month to make sure I have a good chance of getting 700+? Am I on the right track?
Also, I'm planning on purchasing the GMAT Club Challenges - do I have enough time for this?

Definitely purchase the challenges. However don't get discouraged by them as they are pretty hard. You have a month, even if you get through half of them it is well worth your time and money.

GMAT Preps give a very good estimate of your score. I took one earlier in my preparation and the second one closer to exam date. This allowed me to gauge my areas of improvement. I also took couple of MGMAT, Princeton and Kaplan tests. Among these I found MGMAT to be best and Kaplan to be worst. My MGMAT test scores ware 20-30 points less than GMATPrep and actual test score. But there is no way to say that you will have same. I would suggest
Identify your weak areas and focus on them.
Keep an error log and so you do not keep making similar mistakes. It will take quite a bit of time but remember "quality over quantity"
Keep taking tests (including AWA) to improve your focus and timing.
Check all questions irrespective of whether you got it right or wrong. In practice tests picking the correct answer is not enough. You need to pick it for right reasons.
Do not get nervous and stay calm.
Hope this helps and good luck
