I can't seem to make it past 440

I have taken 3 practice tests so far, 2 from Manhattan and 1 from GMAT Prep. I seem to be stuck at the quantitative 300-500 level. Am reveiwing all my wrong questions to figure out where I wnet wrong. Is there anything else I can do as I sit the actual GMAT in one week.

550 is my target.

Am reading the GMAT 12th Edition Guide, and MG Tests. Have managed to get to a score 0f 33 form 21 in Quant, was at a 28 in Verb but last night I did the CMAT #4 and went down to 21 on Verb. I think I was just tired and in reality wouldn't be sitting the actual GMAT at 8PM at night after a long day.

My strategy for today is to review my wrong Q's, understand them and do a few more practice Q's from the GMAT Guide.

There are 3 things you can do at this stage:

1. Check where you are going wrong in terms of question type i.e. is it with Problem Solving, Data Sufficiency or Word Problems. I suspect you would perhaps have more mistakes due to application in areas such as Data Sufficiency.

2. Check if a particular area in quant is pulling you down - arithmetic, algebra, or geometry. You might need to brush up just that part (since you have very little time left).

3. What was your raw score in Quant on the GMATPrep? My suggestion is to take the GMATPrrep one more time and see where you stand after you have completed the above.

HTH,

Arun

I have a few questions
a) Are you able to complete the test in time or are you leaving some questions.
b) Did you just start taking tests or did you refresh the concepts.

In any case I would suggest refreshing the concepts from accepted sources ( kaplan/mgmat etc) before taking further tests and also taking a look at the "test taking" strategies.
