Hi everyone this is my first post however I have been a long time reader of this site. I would like to thank everyone for their contributions I have found all of your help incredibly invaluable and I greatly appreciate it.
Last week after studying for about 3 months I took the test and my result was 660 (44Q, 38V). I spent significant time studying and I am at a bit of a loss as to where to go from here. I enrolled in Kaplan's program and bought MGMATs CATs. These as well as the CATs from gmatprep had me consistently scoring 660 to 700. So my score was really not a huge surprise however I had been scoring in the higher range of that with the gmatprep CATs. I also was performing better on the quant and not as well on the verbal so that was a slightly surprising result on my test day.
My strengths:
- CR and RC - I will rarely get even one of these type of questions wrong on CATs
- Geometry
My weaknesses:
- number properties
- equations, absolute values, inequalities
- ** advanced sentence correction (easy SC I have no problems with however the last 20 or so questions in the OGs statistically I actually score less than I would from just guessing and these are what I find on the CATs since I do rather well on other verbal questions)
I have 2 years before I plan on applying for an MBA and for the schools I wish to apply, 660 is just not going to cut it.
Can anyone recommend resources or offer advice for what I can do to improve my weaknesses and my score for next time? I have kept track of the questions I was getting wrong and I found in the last month of my studying I just wasnt improving at all (getting the same questions wrong, similar score result ect...)
Thank you all for taking the time to read my post and again I appreciate all of your help and advice!
