550 -> 710 -> ??

Calling on all the experts for input and valuable suggestions. My exam is in 3 weeks.

I scored 550 on my first practice CAT in September '10. Joined online MGMAT class, finished OG12/V2/Q2 and have been doing Grockit practice questions.

Kaplan CAT 1 550
MGMAT CAT 1 620 (Q44 V31)
MGMAT CAT 2 630 (Q44 V32)
MGMAT CAT 3 660 (Q42 V38)
GMAT Prep 1 710 (Q49 V38)

I took the practice test today and the score gave me a ton of confidence. I had 2 questions wrong in RC and 9 wrong in SC. I got all the CR questions correct. I have to improve a lot in SC which is my biggest weakness.

My strategy for the next few weeks:
- Aristotle SC Grail + MGMAT SC Guide (Review)
- Complete MGMAT Q Banks
- Beat the GMAT Practice Q
- Focused sessions in Grockit
- Aristotle 101 LSAT CR
- Aristotle 100 SC Qs
- Finish remaining CATs

I hope to keep updating the post constantly. I am sure this would either end up being one of those successful debriefs or a good learning experience for myself (as to what not to do and what else to do for the next attempt).

Your scores seem to be improving ,so that's quite an encouraging thing. What you need to do now is that you should analyze each test thoroughly. Do not take a new CAT until and unless you think that you've analysed the last CAT sufficiently. You seem to have the right set of material .Make sure that you keep on revising your concepts timely.
