I depends on the depth of the mistakes made while taking practice tests.
For example, if you keep getting all Geometry questions wrong, you should probably go back and review Geometry concepts in your MGMAT books.
If your mistakes are superficial (forgot a certain rule, careless error, etc), then you reviewing your MGMAT books is probably unnecessary.

Cheers,
Brent

Hi november22,

Until you take a FULL-LENGTH CAT (including the Essay and IR sections), we're not going to know how comfortable you are with all of the material. As such, you should plan to take one soon, then report back here with your scores. We can use those results to figure out what you should work on next.

At this point for you just doing the practice questions is the right approach. No need to keep reviewing study material just practice practice!

Hi november22,

Without knowing what your baseline score is from a full-length practice exam, it's difficult to know WHY you're getting certain questions wrong. While knowing how many you've answered incorrectly is a good start, you'll want to dig deeper and identify if you're having timing issues or if there are some deeper rooted challenges you're having with the material itself. Looking forward to hearing your results from a practice exam, as we'll all be able to provide more valuable insight from there.

Best,
Rich

"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."
