22 days before test day.
after a number of practice exams, here are the results:
mgmat CAT 1
420(Q24, V26)
mgmat CAT 2
460(Q26 V28)
mgmat CAT 3
450(Q24, V29)
mgmat CAT 4
470(Q26, V30)
mgmat CAT 5
650(Q43, V36) <----complete fluke. I had to random guess on majority of the Quant Questions
mgmat CAT 6
530(Q34, V30) <---less guessing then mgmat CAT 5. Any guesses had some thought process to it.
GMAT PREP 1
530(V34, Q 28)
On one hand, I'm excited because the scores are going on a positive trend, but on the other hand, the scores are still low.
With less then a month left, whats the best way to tackle this?
I work full time and can't take time off, so any studying will have to be on the weekends and evening on weekdays.
Should I still be in 'focus on concepts' mode, or is it now time to start working on as many practice exams as I can? My plan is to just do as much mgmat exams as I can (reset as much as possible), do as much GMAT prep as I can (reset as much as possible), and other types of CATS(kaplan, etc etc) to familiarize myself with different types of questions.
schedule:
exam every 2 to 3 days.
i.e
day 1evening , do CAT
day 2 evening , review CAT
day 3, review some OG and rereview some CATS
repeat.
weekend, combine 1, 2 and/or 3.
that way, I famialiarize myself with the CAT exams, and also have a chance to focus on OG as OG is still the bible.
Goal:
if the GMAT Gods are on my side test day, then 700+. Ideally, I want 650+. But realistically, anything close to 600, I will be happy.
anybody have any other suggestions? should I be doing CATS more and less reviewing? Or maybe I should be dropping the OG and just focus on doing CATS and reviewing of the CATS?
