Hi guys,
I've been working on the GMAT since about 2 months, by taking private tutoring. I took my first CAT on the GMATPrep software 2 weeks ago and got 680. I am aiming at a 700+ score, the higher the better, sky is the limit.
I've drilled on the OG and other material and I am thinking about redoing them, is that a good idea ?
I am a third year at maths university student, so I really think I can improve that Q to 50. I am also strong at CR, but I tend to struggle a bit at SC (english is not my native language). To improve at SC, it really looks like you need to do the most possible questions you can. Is that true, or am I missing something?
IR does not really matter for my school, and I score 4, I don't really plan on improving that.
I am thinking about doing one CAT per week, is it too much or not ? What are the best CAT to buy ? The official ones or the Manhattan ones ?
I plan to take the "official" test in 6 weeks (end of January) and can possibly work around 20 hours per week on the GMAT. What would be a good study plan for me?
Thanks in advance.

Hi floprg,
Since you're currently working with a tutor, what has that tutor advised that you do? Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
1) Did you take the FULL CAT (with the Essay and IR sections)? And what were the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores?
2) What study materials have you used besides the OG?
Goals:
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
4) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hi RichC,
1) Yes I took the full CAT test. My quant scaled score : 48 and my verbal scaled score : 35
2) I have used so fard OG and also for quant pdf from Gmat Hacks.
I've talked about that with him and we basically said that taking one test per week was a good idea, and work every day about 2 to 3 hours.
My case is a bit special because I am not taking the GMAT to apply to a Business School, but to apply to a Master. They don't specifically require a minimum score, so the higher the better.
Regarding the date to apply, it will be around mid March. Since I need to prep also for the TOEFL, I'll take the GMAT at the end of January and if I am disappointed with my score, I'll retake it mid February.
For example, I know I will have to buy some CAT tests. But I am still wondering if it best to buy the ones from the software or go for the Manhattan ones.
