Hi All,
Need some advice. Took the official test after 5 weeks of study due to requirements of an MBA Prep Program I got into which required official scores by the commencement of the program (I knew this in advance just was a procrastinator - shame on me).
Here is my history:
Princeton 1/5/15 - 500 V34 Q26
MGMAT CAT 2/2/15 - 490 V32 Q26 (didn't finish half of quant)
MBA Prep 1 2/7/15 - 540 V31 Q33
Test Day 2/14/15 - 610 V38 Q35 (Received Enhanced Score Report which showed 96% in SC and 45% in RC which is like a weird nightmare as those numbers are usually reversed)
Needless to say I was in shock that I did as well as I did. I had no confidence whatsoever that I was getting above a 550.
Now I have signed up for a Manhattan GMAT full course and plan to retake in early June 2015. Is it possible to break 700 (720 is the score I really want)? I've read other posts that seem like it may be possible. I have some confidence now that I went up 110 points with self study using only 2 books (MGAMT Fundamental Math and Fundamental Verbal) and doing about 100 OG practice questions and reviewing the 3 exams I took. I also kept a mistake journal where I jotted down problems I was getting wrong.
However, I am worried about my low math. I want to purchase the MGMAT Advanced Quant and keep pace with that too but I heard you need a Q40 to begin it. Any advice on whether I can begin to use that or Kaplan 800? I am doing daily Fundamental Math Drills in the MGMAT website (all the drills in the book I finished already).
Also, thinking it will probably be A LOT harder to go from 610 to 720 than from 500 to 610? I'm assuming this based on the nature of the test?
I am EXTREMELY dedicated to making the next 3 months count (class starts March 2015 and Test Day is June 2015). Any advice anyone has is greatly appreciated!
Additional information: I also work full time at a Big 4 so I don't have a lot of free time. Trying to dedicate about 10-15 hours a week.
