2 months back I took my first ever CAT exam as a diagnostic test without any GMAT preparation. I scored a 530. I have been out of school for 8 years so I did expect my score to be poor.

After completing the Manhattan strategy guides over a 2 month period, I took my second Manhattan GMAT CAT. My score on the second is 600 (70%). I hoped to do much better. My verbal is 72% and Quant - 59%. I ran out of time on Quant and had to make educated/quick guesses on the last 15 questions and got most of them wrong. I ran over time on verbal as well and had to make educated guesses on the last 6 questions or so.

I want to break to 700+. What should my next step be?

What am I doing wrong? How accurate are the MGMAT scores. Is it possible for me to break the 700 mark?

Thanks a lot for the help.
