Hi All,
I have been studying for the GMAT since early May. I worked through the huge GMAC GMAT Review 11th Edition and made a note of each question I got wrong. I only started taking practice adaptive tests fairly recently. My test scores were as follows:

mba.com practice test 1: 720
mba.com practice test 2: a score did not get spit out - but i can guess that the score was worse than the first test
In both of the tests, I was unable to complete the math sections. I think I skipped 4 on both and just guessed on them. I did not luck out with any of the guesses.

I then started working on the Princeton Review adaptive tests. Interestingly enough, I was able to complete the Math sections in all of the tests except the last one. the test scores were as follows:

test 1: 710
test 2: 650 (really blew this one!!!)
test 3: 710
test 4: 710

I want to finish this off in a month. I still have not registered for a test date and am hoping it's not too late to get one in the last few days of August. I want to get this over within a month. I can devote around 9 hours to this per week. What are your suggestions (practice tests, review material etc.) for my path moving forward? I would really appreciate some input with regard to this. Thank you.

Regards,

Pranav

Go for it as soon as you feel you can walk into that exam room with confidence peppered with a bit of, "YO, I got this" swagger.
GMAT obsession begone - girl needs her social life back.

Hehe. Can't remember the last time I had that swagger. It's been ages. Any specific recommendations as far as practice test etc?

I would say exhaust all the known GMAT brands in the market. I guess you haven't stepped on MGMAT, 800score, Kaplan. Drill all their question/test banks and you will be all set to rout!
