Hi,
I have my GMAT scheduled on 13th Oct, that is after 15 days.
And I need help!!!
My Mock scores have been like a roller coaster ride
Kaplan 610
Manhattan 560
(^ These 2 were a long time ago )
Manhattan 640
Veritas 620
Kaplan 680 (I have been told Kaplan scores are inflated?)
And yesterday I got 590 on Manhattan ( However, that was because I didn't take it rightly and I know I could have easily gotten way more because I knew a lot of questions but for silly mistakes in quant, which I realised right once I clicked on confirm for many q, and because of that I was pretty bumped and it affected my Verbal performance)
I am aiming for at least 680.
I haven't taken any of the Prep4 Gmat ones because I don't want to waste them
My biggest challenge is RC
On my first mock I had got 75% accuracy while 3 mocks back I got 25%
It keeps wavering.
And there are few topics in quant such as rate and work , pc prob, but I am working on that.
Main concern is RC and till a certain extent CR.
I think I have done many concept books.
Main aspect for me is rigorous practice.
So PLEASE PLEASE suggest what should I do?!
I am ready to study for as many as hours as required

Hi ks4196,
Since your CAT scores are fluctuating, we should start by discussing how you've taken these CATs:
1) Did you take the ENTIRE CAT each time (including the Essay and IR sections)?
2) Did you take them at home?
3) Did you take them at the same time of day as your Official GMAT?
4) Did you ever do ANYTHING during your CATs that you couldn't do on Test Day (pause the CAT, skip sections, take longer breaks, etc.)?
5) Did you ever take a CAT more than once? Had you seen any of the questions BEFORE?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hi ks4196,
Inconsistent practice test scores are usually a sign that you do not have a full grasp of GMAT content. Generally, you will score higher on tests in which you are tested on familiar content and lower on tests in which you are tested on unfamiliar content. I am happy to provide some further advice on how to proceed, but have a few questions for you:
1)) Describe your study routine. For how many hours a day have you been studying and for how many total months? What resources have you been using for your prep?
Also, when you were studying, do you feel as if you were able to achieve linear and targeted learning followed by focused practice? In other words, were you able to master one topic before you moved to the next? For example, when learning about critical reasoning, were you able to learn about all aspects of critical reasoning: strengthen and weaken the conclusion, resolve the paradox, find the conclusion, must be true, etc. and then follow your learning with focused critical reasoning practice?
2) Have you taken any official MBA.com exams? If so, what are the score breakdowns of those exams? When you took the practice tests, did you take them under realistic conditions (e.g. in a quiet environment, no extended breaks)?
3) To what schools do you plan to apply?
4) What deadlines are you targeting?
