Help: Consistently scoring between 400-500

by hanumanr » Sun Apr 01, 2012 10:52 am
Hi,
I have booked my exam date on June 1st and my scores so far are below:
1. Diagnostic Test: 410 (No preparation, easy questions though)
2. Kaplan CAT 1: 470 (With 2 months preparation and classes)
20 days gap due to work...

Today I took MGMAT test and scored 440

I am totally worried about my score because it is in the range of 400-500. I am also working... Can someone advice how can I improve my score before June 1st, hardly have 60 days :-(

The short answer: careful analysis.

You need to identify your weaknesses and strengthen them.

Also, when you work on practice questions, ALWAYS review the solution afterwards. Doing so will provide information you overlooked and you will likely learn alternative approaches.

Keep working at it!

Cheers,
Brent
