please help..:GMAT in a week

by newuser_beatGMAT » Tue Sep 22, 2009 4:16 pm
Hi all,

I have given Kaplan classroon CATs and got a score of 660,680,690,650...basically in 650-680 range.
I took the Ultimate Practice and got at 710.
Then i took a last Kaplan class room CAT and got a 660.

I am really scared and confused if i should appear for GMAT in a week.

Please guide..
Are kaplan classroom CATs comparable to actual GMAT?

Thanks.

from what ive read, the kaplan tests arent the best indicator of an actual gmat score. the best indicator is the GMAT Preptest software from mba.com. if you havent taken these tests yet, you should go to the website and download the software. then, take the test under fully timed conditions

the best thing you can do at this point, though, is not to be scared. if you go into the test (or even the practice tests) with a positive attitude, then your score will be improved.

nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.

Hi

Thanks for your suggestions

I gabve one test from POWERPrep and one from GMATPrep[mba.com]

I got 730 in Powerprep and 710 in GMATprep.

Surprsingly, i did worse in GMATPrep math than the Kaplan classroom CATs and the reverse in English.
I was shocked to see this.

However, i have a week left now and would like you to advise me on what should be my focus for the week.

I am aiming above 700 and I hope I have studied enough to get this

Thanks
