I've been studying for the GMAT since mid-February when I started a Kaplan prep course, and am now just 6 days away from exam day. I think the course has been helpful in terms of the online resources it provides (A LOT!), but I quickly realized that Kaplan exams/questions were much harder than normal, so I quickly purchased the OG 11, Princeton Review manual, and the Manhattan SC guide. I've completed 80% of it. I've limited my practice exams to the exams assigned for homework through the Kaplan course, and I've taken 1 to 2 every weekend, in addition to the independent work I did outside of the course. So far, my highest Kaplan test score is a 640. My Kaplan practice test scores have been the following:

600 (paper diagnostic)
600
630
580
530
540
640

I have 4 days off before the exam and plan to take at least 1 exam a day, including the 2 GMATPrep tests, which I purposefully saved for taking just a few days before exam day.

I'm shooting for a score above 700. Can I score above 700? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Your Kaplan scores seem decent. Take a GMATPrep test and see how your scores are--GMATPrep is the most accurate indicator of your actual GMAT performance. They will provide a better benchmark of what you should expect on the real GMAT.

Best of luck!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
