hi,

First of all let me write down the books I have prepared from so far, and the ones I plan to study.

OG11 (Did twice)
Manhattan GMAT guides (didnt solved the questions but learned the stratgies)
Power score Critical reasoning guide (again, didnt solved the questions but learned thier strategies)

In addition, I took Kaplan coaching for a month, and I also hvae made notes on their strategies. All was going well. I was getting 600 in kaplanCAT exams. Got 620, 640 in Manhattan GMAT exams. UNTIL I TOOK THE GMAT prep exam & Princeton review CAT exam. I scored 550 in GMAT prep & 450 in Princeton review.

I am very surprised because when I didnt prepared much material, I was getting 600s, but after learning from various sources, my score went down terribly!!

I don't know if its lack of concentration or increasing stress level as exam is coming soon..

I am going to study the following material in next 15 days::

Solving the last 60 questions of data sufficiency & problem solving from OG11.

Completly solving KAP800.

The tough math questions from Manhattan GMAT website. I hve bought thier service.

Please advice if I am on right track. and what could be the reason for lowering the score graph after studying so much. I want at least 720+.

thanks to all the angels here in advance :D

We all want at least 720+

Let's go back to reality:

1) Your test is soon and you have finished the OG twice but I am not sure if you really got what you want from OG. Search STACEY's advise for how you should review OG.
2) GMAT prep gives you an idea what you will be scoring ( SD 30-40)
3) KAPLAN800 is for those people who have already mastered the fundetemantals and exhausted the primary sources. I would not waste my time if I were you. STUDY OG! and read the explanations and revisit your wrong answers.
4) I do not want to discourage you but jumping from your 550 to "at least 720" will be tough for you in couple of weeks.

Sorry for the tough love. I told you what you need to hear, not what you want to..

GOOD LUCK!
LGTCH
