Crossing the 700 mark

by nishiz » Mon Sep 14, 2009 12:23 pm
Hi everyone,

I had given the GMAT 3 years ago and scored 680.
Am trying to break the 700 barrier this time.
Have only 3 weeks before my second attempt.

Can you give me some advice on how I can cross the 700 barrier ?
Here are my gmat scores so far :
07/08/2009 Veritas Prep - 580
08/15/2009 GMAT Prep1 - 650
08/17/2009 KAPLAN - 680
08/23/2009 MGMAT test 1 - 630
08/30/2009 MGMAT test 2 - 680
09/04/2009 GMAT Prep1 - 700
09/06/2009 MGMAT test 3 - 660
09/13/2009 GMAT Prep2 - 650

I seem to be missing the DS questions all the time. Is there any way I can improve on my Verbal too ? I have bought the Manhattan SC book and solved the OG11 thru and thru.

Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks !!

It would be better if you could analyse each section individually. The combined score does not gives a picture where one can advice on how to improve a particular sections.

The only thing I could figure out is that the Gmat Prep-1 and Gmat Prep-2 scores are almost the same, so this means practically there is little improvement.

You need to work on each section(SC,CR, DS etc etc) individually.

For DS questions, look for the extreme cases, say you have |x| =1
check for x-1 as well as x=-1

it would be better if you could be little more specific.

Hope this Helps
