Hi, I'm having a problem with my GMAT Tests scores because I don't seem to get real improvements, even though I have been studying for several months. Besides, what really pisses me off is that when doing exercises on GMAT Prep and the OG, I get the majority of the questions right and in correct timing but when I take the CATs I am always behind of time and I get several questions wrong. My current CAT scores are between 600 - 650, which is bad for me as I want to break the 700.
Please help me here I don't know how to improve and specially I don't wanna keep practising exercises because it is leading me nowhere

Thanks.

This is a common theme... Often times you don't know what you don't know and moving to the next level can be hard. It is difficult to say exactly what your cause is without seeing some specific results. Look at the types of mistakes you are making on the exam and study those areas and try to improve how you approach the problem. Often times the best approach is to get some professional help. It can do wonders...

"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."
