hello all,

I have been studying for the mgat for 2months now and I have made very little progress: I had felt as if I had made progress but all has collapsed over the past 2-days. I have written the following exams:

oct 1st: Kaplan cat 1 550 (?V,?q)
Oct 20th: MGMAT cat 1 580 (24Q, 46V)
Oct 30th Kaplan cat 2 620 (41V, 35Q)
Nov 1st: GMAT prep 1 650 (44Q, ?V)
Nov 10th: MGMAT cat 2 600 (42Q, 32V)
Nov 11th: Mgat Cat 3 590 (39Q, 33V)

Why the up down nature of my marks? What is going on? I am half way through my MGMAT CR book and thought my verbal would improve....I have 90% accuracy on GMAT Q questions.

I am getting nervous.

Its quite natural to feel worried when you encounter such scores...But its natural that the scores will vary as the tests are not the same...I mean the level of GMAT Prep is different than MGMAT and Kaplan tests are different than both those tests...

Just look at your GMAT prep scores....they are the most accurate indicators of your true level on the GMAT...The GMAT prep scores are +/- 20 points that of the actual GMAT score...so your actual GMAT level is from 630 to 670.

Your scores clearly indicate that you need to work on your fundamentals. Work on the basics and make them that strong that even when you are not preparing for the GMAT, your mind is able to analyse things the GMAT way .

"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."
