One week to go. Mock Scores stuck at 690 :( Post Fri Mar 30, 2012 4:07 am
GMATPrep 1 - 710 (Q49,V38)
MGMAT 1 - 680 (Q47,V35)
MGMAT 2 - 680 (Q48,V35)
PowerPrep 1 - 700 (Q50,V35)
GMATPrep 1 (Retake) - 720 (Q50,V37)
MGMAT 3 - 690 (Q48,V36)
MGMAT 4 - 690 (Q48,V36)

Accuracy in SC is going down. Suddenly feeling less confident in SC Sad
Worked on RC and RC accuracy is now up to 70% from mid 40s.
Some quant questions in MGMAT are too difficult. Is it representative of actual GMAT?

I have 10 days to go and I have GMATprep 2 left. What should be my strategy?

Any quick fix for timing issues in the Verbal section?

I think I will just solve SC and CR from OG (read the solutions well) and practice more RCs... and keep my fingers crossed

Need a Q49,V40 on the real GMAT

Your quant is awesome- spend some time reviewing but focus all on verbal. I would just pound all the verbal in OG 12, making sure you understand each question and why your getting them wrong. I did this for a week and my SC improved from 50 to 70-80 percent. Verbal went from 35-38, according to mgmat. My test is also in 3 weeks and i'm currently at mid 600's and need a 700. Good luck

Two things :

1) Aim at Q50 - Math on Real GMAT is tougher than any tests you have taken so far.
2) For Q44, you need remarkable SC performance. I have understood this from my own Mock GMAT experience. And for V44 on real GMAT, you should aim for V45/V46 on mock tests.

If you are hell bent on getting Q50 and V44, 1 week can work miracles. But dedicate 5-6 hours per day to this end.

HTH!

The best thing to possibly do over the last week is to look for GMATPrep problems alone. Try to search for the documents with GMATPrep questions and utilize it to the max to maximize your performance. Don't go for full tests as it will tire you out. Check this link as well. It might help you Smile
