Here are my scores so far

Date Source Total Quant Verbal
6/10/2011 GmatPrep 680 46 37
6/12/2011 Master GMAT 650-680 43-45 37-40
6/17/2011 Knewton 640 45 33
6/18/2011 Master GMAT 630-650 44-45 34-36
6/19/2011 Master GMAT 680-710 48-50 36-38
6/24/2011 MGMAT 670 46 35
6/25/2011 KAPLAN 620 42 36
6/26/2011 Master GMAT 650-680 44-45 37-40

I need to get at least 700. I have not practiced any AWA. I have done just the master gmat course so far. I have also done some grockit - mainly the targeted study plan section. I have just started doing the OG. I can spend a maximum of 2 hours in weekdays and 5-6 hours in the weekend. My test date is August 6th 2011. I would really appreciate any pointers.

Arun,
My question is: in my situation, what is the best way to study for this last month towards a 50 point increase so that I score 700+ ?
Thanks

Hi, im aswel in the similar range you discussed below and im targetting exam aswel around same timeframe in august.

There is no generic approach to bump up score to specific number without analyising the mistakes performed in each sections. when you generate assement report in Manhattan it clearly states the accuracy levels in each of the sections.

By focusing more on the topics which has least accuracy is one quicker way to increase the score.

Not sure if that adds any greater sense, but that stratergy is working for me currently.

Thanks
Sandhya

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
