Stuck at 600 aim to 700+

by Princesse » Fri Jan 04, 2013 2:38 pm
Dear all,

I would like to have your opinion about the strategy I should adopt to get my dream score (and necessary score) which is 700 at least.

For the moment I m stuck at 600 max:
CAT 1 520 Q37 V25 (after having completed the quant books from MGMAT)
CAT 2 560 Q37 V31
CAT 3 560 Q39 V29
CAT 4 600 Q40 V33
GMAT Prep 1 580 Q43 V27
CAT 5 590 Q41 V31
CAT 6 580 Q40 V31

Basically I can't go over Q40 and V30 for the moment and I wish I could.

I had to take my GMAT last week, it seems I don't do miracles ... got a very ashamming score in the range of those above.

I have been studying every single day on the GMAT with the MGMAT and OG books for 45 days.
It seems I have studied too much ...

I would like to reach my goal for the end of February but I m kind of screwed as I don't know what I should do to improve my score (either quant and verbal).

Do you think it would be possible to get my dreamed 700 after another 3/4 weeks of prep?

Many thanks in advance and happy new year !

Do you think I could manage to improve my score by 100 points?

Should I do the MGMAT exercises or should I concentrate on the OG only?

That is a lot in just one month. Have you considered waiting until next year?

Unfortunately next year is not an option.
The worst part is that I can reach 700 level question in SC, RC, DS and PS (according to MGMAT CAT) but I am ranging between 580 and 600 for the global score.

I m student so I can dedicate between 3 and 5 hours per day to the GMAT and even more at week end.
Considering this, is there a glimmer of hope?

So do you think I should do again the MGMAT exercises or just concentrate on the exercises in the OG?

Depends on how much you already know and can learn on the fly. The exercises build the foundation, but you definitely need practice with the real questions.
