Hello everyone,

I have taken two MGMAT practice exams and have scored average of 640. I am wondering if anyone can provide me with any last minute studying advice to possibly raise my score.

Here is my break down per section
Q 42, 43
V 33, 32

My weakness is RC. On the last practice exam I felt like I was running out of time so I completely guessed on the second passage and just clicked anything. I figured I usually get most of them wrong anyway, so reading it would have been a waste of time that could be used on CR and SC (which is my strength on the verbal portion).

I have been studying with the Veritas books that came with my online class, and have gone through maybe 1/4 of the OG 12th edition.

Also, what would be a realistic score I could expect to receive on the real GMAT? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks :)

GMATPREP CATs are supposed to be the best indicators of your score on the actual GMAT. Regarding RCs, I don't think that a considerable improvement in realistically possible given the time you have.However, you may wanna practice 3-4 passages for the next 7-8 days under timed conditions. That will help you figure out where you are messing up things so that you can take corrective measures for that.
