Need help for the upcoming exam

by peacemaker123 » Thu Aug 18, 2011 8:54 am

Hello guys.
I have my exam scheduled for the 31st August. I aim for a score of 650 or above, but the highest result I have scored is 610 on the GMAT Prep. CAT 2. Is there a way to improve my result in the following days as I have made quite a jump from 440 to 610 , but now I am in a pinch and am quite stressed for the upcoming exam :S

It's possible you could score a 650+, but that only gives you less than 2 weeks to gain approx 50 pts. I suggest trying to do it with strategy and analyzing old questions rather than answering a million new ones.

Review the OG and the GMAT Prep questions thoroughly, re-taking as needed and re-emphasizing the concept behind each Q. I would try to identify 3 weak areas in Quant and work hard on them.

For Verbal, I'd focus on using your scratch pad and working intently on CR and RC strategy. Breaking down the passages and looking at the structure of the rhetoric. If you search BTG online, you can find a number of articles and posts I've written on CR and RC strategy.

Good luck!
