Hi

I need some advice on GMAT prep strategy for the last 2weeks before the exam.Ive just taken the GMAT prep 1 and scored a 680 which is still 50 points behind my target score.I scored a 47 in math and 36 in vocabulary.The low score in english is mostly due to lack of stamina for taking long tests,so apart from taking more tests what elseshould i do to improve my score.My test is on the 3rd of november.

Thanks for the help !!

You should do a few tests to build up stamina and also try to improve your weak verbal subjects. Did you use any course with theory or did you just learn from tests?

If you haven't worked with any resource that provides lessons and not just practice, I am sure that going through theory concerned with your weakest verbal subjects will significantly increase your score. I can't promise of course that you will improve by 50 points.
