Need some advice and analysis

by jayofbay » Sun Dec 10, 2006 10:04 pm
Hi All Fellow GMATians,
Here's a breakdown of my scores and wanted to know from you guys if you feel i can break the 700 barrier.

Kap1 560
Kap2 610
Kap3 640
Powerprep1 690
Powerprep2 710
GMATPrep1 680 ( found this to be harder than I expected).

My GMAT is on Dec18th and I still have Kap4 and GMATPrep2 to go through.

Anybody else feels that GMATPrep is a little harder than the actual GMAT- I saw somebody mentioned that fact in one of the threads.


Also let me know if you have any specific advice for the last week.

Hm...I thought I had answered this post yesterday--I guess my reply didn't submit properly.

I think that you are in good shape to reach your goal of hitting the 700 barrier, based on your test prep scores.

I've heard anecdotal reports that GMATPrep is a little harder than the GMAT, or that the GMAT is a little harder than GMATPrep--but there's no doubt that GMATPrep is the best indicator of your real GMAT performance; personally, I found the test to be pretty representative of the actual GMAT.

It sounds like you have had a good study strategy to date--in your last week, I would focus on taking a few practice tests in a simulated testing environment, and to rest (not study) the day prior to your test.

You are in the home stretch! Please let us know how it all turns out.

Best of luck!
