An SOS call - 45 days to go!!!

Hello everyone, :)

I need urgent advice!!!

I started my GMAT prep around a month ago. Following are the scores of the 4 tests I have given till date:

1] GMATPrep 1: 620 (Q47, V27)
2] Princeton Review 1: 610 (Q48, V27)
3] Princeton Review 2: 630 (Q48, V29)
and, the shocker...
4] Princeton Review 3: 590 (Q43, V29)

In the last test (PR3), I was determined to cross 650, but I wrongly attempted some of the initial questions in the both the sections. Ultimately, I saw a considerable drop in my quant score with no improvement in the verbal score.
This has really lowered my morale!

I am using Manhattan for SC, Powerscore for CR. For RC, I am solving RCs from OG12. I have not yet concentrated on Maths prep. (Guess, it's high time to concentrate on Maths, too!). I have recently started reading Powerscore.
I am maintaining Varbal and Quant Error Logs and I refer to both regularly. I have planned to attempt PR4 test and then switch to Manhattan Tests.

Experts, please advise on my future course of action. Am I going in the right direction or should I change my plan? What may be the flaws in my preparation? Where I may be going wrong? What should I do to escalate my score?

My target is 750. Is this achievable looking at my dismal scores? I have only 45 days in my hand. An SOS call!!! :shock:

you need to change the way to prepare.
Try to learn from each question rather than working on more problems. This is improve your thought process.

Reviewing and redoing the practice problems are the best way to learn.
Check the below blog for Sc preparation.

Also dont skip the AWA part. check my comments in this post to know why. https://www.beatthegmat.com/using-og-to- ... 08941.html

thanks a lot Kolaveri for ur comments.

True, I should concentrate on some representative questions and learn maximum from them.

could you also throw some light on the no of tests I should target to take before GMAT and their frequency considering the time frame of 45 days I am having?

Thanks in advance!!!

Your blog is really informative.
Cheers

There should me minimum gap of 3 days between full lengths tests.
I would suggest you to devote an entire day for full length test and review both the correct and incorrect questions the same day or within 24 hrs of taking the test.

Devote an entire week for each section(SC,CR,RC, PS and DS) to maximize ur accuracy. Try to devote 30 min every to your weakest area.
