Hi Guys,
I am struggling a bit with the Gmat. I took MGMAT class, and am finishing up their syllabus, took 3 CATs so far, however I noticed that I have about 80-90% accuracy of right answers on questions between 300-500 level, but anything higher it drops severely to 55% or lower.
What is going on, what am I lacking, and what is the best way to improve this?

Hi bmierz86,
To start, anyone who'd like a bit more information on the backstory, here it is:

Now that you've defined one of the issues that you're facing, YOU have to do a bit more in-depth work to define WHY you're getting questions wrong. Here are some questions that you should ask yourself as you review each of your CATS:
After reviewing each section, how many questions did you get wrong....
1) Because of a silly/little mistake?
2) Because there was some math/verbal that you just didn't know how to do?
3) Because the question was too hard?
4) Because you were low on time and had to guess?
The answers to these questions will help to define what you should be focusing on.

Thanks for pointing those out. To be honest it usually is a mixture of those, the question is difficult, I am reading it over and over and do not know where to begin, how to setup the equation or table, sometimes I may have rushed and didnt change (-) signs properly etc. I think I am OK with the timing as I usually have about 1-2 minutes left on my clock.
