I'll be taking my GMAT for the 3rd time on March 12. I need a score of 540. My previous GMAT exam scores are:
1st: 400 w/ Q:30 and V:16
2nd: 430 w/ Q:32 and V:17, I guessed the last 8 problems in the Quant. Section due to timing.
During my time in Kaplan Prep before the 2nd GMAT attempt, my practice CAT scores were:
Official GMAT Prep Test2: 430
Kaplan Diagnostic Test: 400
1st: 580
2nd: 510
3rd: 580
4th: 540
After the 2nd attempt, I was suggested by this forum to review my high school math materials. I hired a tutor who teaches HS Algebra I & II and Geometry. After thorough evaluation, he determined that my high school math skills were sufficient.
I restarted my GMAT study again this January, and my practice scores are:
Official GMAT Prep Test1: 500
Kaplan Diagnostic Test: 500
1st: 540 (Kaplan CAT1)
2nd: 600 (Kaplan CAT3)
3rd: 570 (Kaplan CAT4)
I'm feeling that these scores are still too low!
My current strategy is:
(1) Heavy emphasis on Verbal Concepts, starting with Sentence Correction
(2) Make sure I understand and know how to apply the verbal concepts
(3) Practice timing and make sure that I follow strict timing during the practice exam
(4) Review Quantitative Concepts
Do you guys have any suggestions? Do you guys think I need to postpone my exam?
