MGMAT CAT 2: 580. Score dropped after 1 week of hard work..?

Nov 3rd: MGMAT CAT 1 - 610 (66%), Quant 40(52%), Vrebal 34(69%)

Learned to apply new strategies on Quant and RC. Put in close to 30-35 hours in 6 days.

Nov 10th: MGMAT CAT 2 - 580 (56%), Quant 39(49%), Verbal 31(59%)

I am not sure what to say about the above scores. I tried to improve on the first CAT by going through the answers and developing a strategic approach to Quant and RC this past week, and put in a lot of hard work. I was expecting the scores to climb near 650 or so.

To put in so much hard work and analysis, and then get a lower score is quite disheartening.

Maybe GMAT isn't my cup of tea?

Hi,

I took 3 test of MGMAT( 1 week each)
690 ( Q: 49 ; V :35)
670 ( Q: 48; V: 32)
680 ( Q:47 ; V : 36)

As you can see, i don't think my math skill can go down in a week or two. It's just because the Manhattan math is very very tough!!!!!

Regarding Verbal, decreasing 3 points after 1 hard-work week is a normal story because you might unluckily get some easy problem wrong or make silly mistakes. Don't let it discourage you. The important thing is that, you understand yourself, you know that you improved .

Regard,
