Hi Stacy,
I've read some of the replies you have provided to questions raised by various persons on strategies that could be adopted 40 days before the GMAT. I must mention that I found them extremely insightful.
I will be taking the GMAT test in approximately a month from now. I started my preparation 3 to 4 weeks back by devoting 4 hours during the week and 6 hours or so over the weekend. So far, I have only been using the OG. I have taken two full length CAT tests till now. The first test I took was the GMAT Prep test on which I scored 700. Last weekend, I took a MGMAT CAT test and achieved a score of only 670. In both tests, I had problems pacing myself adequately. In both tests, I had to leave the last question unanswered and completed the last four through guesswork. Few challenges that I have identified are:
1) Pacing well
2) Endurance (I'm unable to apply my mind during the last 10 questions of the Verbal section
3) Quant - Probablity, Numbers
4) Verbal - SC
During the next month, I will be working for 2 and a half weeks and will be on leave for the balance 2 weeks. I plan to continue solving the OG and start using the Kaplan. In addition to this, I plan to take the balance 4 MGMAT tests on each of the weekends and the second GMAT Prep test three days before my GMAT date.
Please let me know what else I should look at doing to increase my score to 750 or 750+.
Thanks a ton!
