Hi,
I recently gave my GMAT and scored a disappointing 550. I 'm retaking the exam on Oct 22. Any advice on how to improve my score by 10 points in each section. I dont think 550 is a true representation of my preparation, even though my highest score was only 620, i was confident that I would score around 650 at the GMAT. Any advice on how to proceed and study??
Following are my previous scores from CATs
MGMT CAT 1 :Q-39 V30 590
CAT 2 : Q 46 V 29 610
CAT 3: Q 44 V 31 610
CAT 4 : Q43 V 28 580
CAT 5 :Q 45 V 31 610
GMAT PREP CAT 1: 580
CAT 2 : 620
GMAT : Q 42 V 25: 550
On The day of my GMAT I tried to follow my usual routine. During the Quant section i felt the questions were tougher than the one I have come across during my 7-8 CAT's. First question was a geometry question and around 15 question was a overlapping set. I got couple statistics questions later in the section also. I think I got questions wrong which I would normally get right and was short on time towards the end of the section.
In the Verbal section, first question was SC followed by a CR. Around 10th question I got an RC which I thought was very difficult to comprehend. In the verbal section the pacing was ok for most part. I had sufficient time to answer all questions. I 'm not sure what I could have done better in verbal to improve my score on the GMAT.
Going forward, for verbal I 'm thinking of concentrating more on CR & RC with some regular practice of SC. And for Quant not sure how to proceed.
Any suggestions for improving my scores and strategies would be great.
Thanks
