I just received my online GMAT score and got a 710 (46Q/42V). I know this is a good score but I was hoping to do a little better, I got a 760 on my last Official GMAT practice test. I am hoping to go to a top MBA program and I have two questions.
1. Should I send my 710 score considering it’s js 700+, so it’s good but not great? If it helps to answer, I have a 3.92 GPA and am an M&A consultant at a Big 4 Accounting firm.
2. The more important question is, how should
I study going forward?
I was using the Kaplan self study program, but I feel like I have gotten everything out of it. It helped me a lot with verbal, on practice tests I have gotten 47 on verbal before. But I seemed to hit a ceiling on quant, the Kaplan questions don’t seem to push me anymore, and usually score between 46-48. My Kaplan recourses are also expiring and seem to cost too much for me to want to extend. I have thought about just going and taking the test again without too much additional studying, just doing a few more practice tests to stay fresh. But also think it would be smart to get a little bit more targeted/guided practice. Is there another service I could use to study, maybe one specifically for people who got a decent score as just want to improve a few points? I didn’t really use the official gmat guide/questions, I only did one of the official practice tests from them.
Thank you!

Hey Morgan123 - Firstly 710 with a V42 is a great score. With regards to quant i have found that Manhattan guides and TTP are good for starters. Since, you are already in the final stage of prep i would suggest to got for more of targeted practice. Get the 700+ level quant questions in the forum and start practicing

Hey Morgan123
Congratulations on breaking the 700 barrier with a balanced score between quant and verbal.
With your remaining time, I'd suggest focusing on your in-test process. What I mean by that is looking for consistent areas of shortcoming in your approach to quant and verbal problems and drill them individually. Here are a few examples:
1. In quant do you find that you have to go back to the prompt and extract more information after you've started working the answer choices? That's an indication of a weakness in the first phase of solving a quant problem: Capture / Preprocessing. You're jumping into answering the question before you've got the full benefit of all the information the prompt has to offer you.
2. In verbal CR, do you tend to carry the entire prompt passage in your head when you're trying to work an Assumptions question? That's an indication of weakness in refining the argument before you tackle the question. Focus on narrowing the argument down to 10 words or less and forget about making it a complete sentence. That narrowing of focus is what allows you to more quickly identify the critical assumption that is propping up the argument.
Those are two key examples, but you can see they will cut across multiple quant and verbal questions -- that's the kind of leverage you need now to create the energy and momentum to a mid 700's score. Happy to discuss further if you want more specific insights into how you should focus your efforts.
