Hi all,
I have two weeks to go for the D-Day. I want to increase my points by 50 to 60 points. This will be my second attempt and my first attempt was a disaster. I got 570 , though was scoring in the mid 600s in my Cat exams.
I am posting my scores(for my 2nd attempt), pls post your few cents as how can i achieve my target score. I am also posting my verbal score in the ratio of (answered rt) / (Total Qns in each verbal section).
GMAT Prep -I (Before starting preparation) -- 600
SC = 6/16 CR = 5/11 RC = 10/13 Quant 49 Verbal 23
MGMAT- 1 ( 05Sep2009 )-- 630
SC = 9/15 CR = 8/14 RC = 4/12 Quant 46 Verbal 31
MGMAT- 2 ( 13Sep2009 ) --660
SC = 12/15 CR = 6/14 RC = 6/11 Quant 45 Verbal 35
MGMAT- 3 ( 13Sep2009 ) -- 580 (Ran out of time)
SC = 5/12 CR = 6/13 RC = 7/12 Quant 45 Verbal 25
GMAT Prep -I (Repeats) (28Sep2009) --640
SC = 13/17 CR = 8/12 RC = 8/13 Quant 49 Verbal 28
MGMAT- 4 ( 13Sep2009 ) --650
SC = 6/15 CR = 10/14 RC = 8/12 Quant 44 Verbal 35
My target score is 700, and is this possible in this small span of time. Or shall I postpone my date ?? . I am really stuck and the score doesnot seems to improve at all. Hope to hear from you all.
Thanks and regards.

Yes, I'll say it is possible to improve by around 30-50 points, provided you are fully dedicated. I prepared for my GMAT for around 3 months, but the major improvement I saw was in last couple of weeks.
Actually the usual mistake people do is to keep on practicing, without analysing the errors / mistakes. So everytime they practice, they get similar or little better results.
As you have already attempted so many tests, spend a full day analysing the problem areas, and prepare a list. You would be surprised to see that generally repeated mistakes are done in few areas. E.g. in my case in Quant it was co-ordinate geometry, probability etc, and in SC it was idioms, verb form etc. Additionally my biggest problem area was reading speed in RCs.
So, do a thorough analysis, and the next 2 weeks spend your time targeting the top problematic areas. Keep attempting GMATPrep tests to see if you are improving.
