I am studying for GMAT for last 3/4 months. Here is the progress report for last month

Kaplan (Purchased)
Diag: 690
Practice Test1: 650
Practice Test2: 640

Princeton Free Test: 700 (Q50/V40)

Platinum GMAT Free Test: 690 (Q490-50/V35-38

Veritas Prep Free Test: 650 (Q51/V31)

Yet to take MGMT and other 2 Kaplan tests. I am wondering if I am ready for the actual GMAT and score over 700. My problem is RC; most of the mistakes are in RC only.

If your highest score to date is 700, it might be unrealistic to expect your official test score to be higher than 700.

Have you taken any official practice tests (https://www.mba.com/the-gmat/download-fr ... tware.aspx)? These are the best indicators of your abilities.

I would wait until you beat your target score on at least two practice tests before you write the official test.

Cheers,
Brent

Thanks Brent,

Yes I do acknowledge your view. This will not be my first GMAT attempt. I've appeared once a month back (pre June set-up) and scored 620 (Q51/V25). Things did not go well in second half.
At that time I scored 720 and 740 in official GMAT practice tests. I am skeptical as at that time I scored even 740 (though 670 mode score) in Manhattan tests.

I tried the new version of official MGMT but quit in the middle, seeing repeating questions.

"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."
