I just took my fourth MGMAT practice test and scored a 600 V36 Q36. I have studied pretty intensively for the past two weeks and moderately for the past 2 months. I want to get a 700, and need to do so in the next week...Timing is a problem and I had to guess on a lot of problems for quant and I ran out of time on the verbal and had to quickly guess on the last three. I've heard the MGMAT tests can be harder than the actual test, but my practice scores aren't near the 700 level. Should I reschedule?

Thanks

Hi ejager,

Unfortunately, raising your score 100 points in a week is NOT a realistic goal. You can still take your GMAT as scheduled, but if your overall goal is to score 700+, then you're almost certainly going to end up retaking the GMAT.

You mentioned how you're taking the GMAT in the next week, but if you're planning to reschedule (and pay the $50 fee), then you have to do so AT LEAST 7 calendar days in advance of your Test.

What is your exact Test Date?
What resources have you been using during your studies?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
