Hey guys,

First of all, thanks for reading my post today !!. I need some quick help/strategy/insight with my GMAT next week. Below are my last few test prep results :

GMAT Prep 1 : Q 47, V 27 , 610
MGMAT 6 : Q 45, V 34, 650
MGMAT 1a : Q 43, V 38, 680
GMAT Prep 2 : Q 44, V 27, 590.

The MGMAT exams I gave were not ideal conditions (skipped essay/argument). Looking at the scores above, I feel I am at the 600 level and want to push out my score 30-40 points.

Can experts out here share their thoughts as to how should I proceed?

Thanks
-Ricky

I'd suggest that you analyze your tests again. And by analysis I mean don't just mean that you go through the questions which you got correct or which you got wrong. Just look through your tests and see if there any patterns you can see which can do away with. Just see if you could improve on the timing front or improve your concentration level or reduce the number of silly mistakes you make. An improvement of 30-40 isn't as much as function of preparation as it is of being psychologically prepared. Try recalling the midset you were in while taking the CATs and could you do anything to improve on that front .I think you should be able to improve if you maintain your cool.

Rishi Raj,

Thanks for your reply. I have no more tests left over, do you think i should give GMAT Prep 1& 2 again? Last night while reviewing the quant section, I noticed that I made 3 silly mistakes in quant for easy questions. That definitely pulled my quant score down.

Thanks
-Ricky
