Hi All,
My exam is on 28th.I just gave set of 37 medium/hard questions(didn't select the easy ones) from Gmatprep question pack 1 and scored just 25/37

in 75 mins
I felt the questions were quite tough and there were 2 questions where i made careless mistakes.
Can u plz tell me how should i maximize my score,now that only 2 days are left for my exam.
Also,ive not given a full CAT since last 3 weeks(gave kaplan cat and scored only 610 in it).

Thanks,
Shreeraj

25/37 doesn't really tell you much about your current quant skills. Were the 12 questions you got wrong 600-level questions or 750-level?
I suggest that you take a free official GMATPrep test (https://www.mba.com/the-gmat/download-fr ... tware.aspx) to better gauge your readiness.

Cheers,

Just came back form test center.Scored a meagre 630(Q39,V37)
Score is heavily skewed and the ironical part is i felt like i was doing well in quant. Plz suggest to me how can i improve my quant score.I was in control of quant till around 28th question and then got stuck in a exponents question.However,i faced around 3 combinations and around 2 probability questions and thus thought i am doing well but alas it wasnt to be
I was getting most of the questions correct in quant but i am sure that was just my illusion.I finally guessed around 3 questions in quant since i was running out of time.
Plz suggest how do i improve my quant score within 1 month by around 10 points since i need to apply for fall 2013.
Should i apply with this poor score to any of the colleges or take the exam within a month's time?
Do u think my score can improve drastically by around 10 points in quant in such a short span of time?

Thanks,
Shreeraj

"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."
