Hi,
I started my prep 3 months ago.
In my first mock, (GMATprep1) I scored 500. I knew I had a long way to go, so I started my prep and till last month my max mock score was 610(Q40, V35) (veritas prep).
Then I reviewed the mocks again and found that I was doing worst in DS in quant and CR and RC in verbal. I practiced under timed conditions on each type of question and the whole sets as well. Then I started my MGMAT series. Here's what I got:
MGMAT1: 640 (Q43, V35)
MGMAT2: 670 (Q48, V33)
MGMAT3: 690 (Q45, V38)
MGMAT4: 700 (Q47, V38)
MGMAT5: 690 (Q45, V39)
Till this stage I was all boosted up that I am gonna break the 700 barrier, but then,
MGMAT6: 640 (Q44, V33)
I realised after the test that I was a little more inclined on solving the questions within time than solving them carefully. So my accuracy went down. Then I tried GMATprep2 with my usual pace and tried everything as carefully as I could. But I scored 630 (Q45, V31)
I noted, however, that in my MGMAT4, where I scored 700 (Q47, V38), I had got 14 wrong in quant and 14 wrong in verbal, though initial streak was better; in GMAT prep 2, I got 12 wrong in each section and yet got 630.
I am confused. Am I really improving, or am a victim of an illusion that perhaps MGMAT has created (no offence intended)?
I will be writing GMAT on Oct 10. And I still don't know where I stand !
Please help.
