Need Help :- Lost in the preparation

by sumank8216 » Thu Jul 09, 2009 5:57 am
Hi,

I have neen preparing for last 2 months .Some basic studies from kaplan & PR.After that I jumped to OG10. I have solved each and every question line by line from og10.
my practice test scores are
powerprep 1: 610 (dont rememebr exactly but q48 , vsome in 20's without preparation)
gmatprep 1:600 (dont rememebr exactly but q48 , vsome in 20's without preparation)

after a month of preparation
kaplan diagnostics free online ( 680 ,q47,v39 )
Kaplan 1:660 (q50, v36)
kaplan 2:600 (q50, v29)
kaplan 3: 620 (q50, v31)
kaplan 4:620 (q50, v31)

after OG 10
powerprep 2: 740 (q49,v41 few verbal questions were from OG10)
gmatprep 2: 700 (q49,v39) all questions were new

gmatprep1 :(730 q50,v39)
gmatprep2 :(760 q50, v41)3, 4 question in verbal repeat
.
I was not sure of my varied scores,so i just bought mgmat tests as i didnt have any other test left. I was feeling confident that now i m in 720 + range. My idea was when i get 700 + in 3 consecutive test, i would schedule the test.But seeing the score i am more lost. Can you please see my mgmat scores and guide me as in what exactly i am doing wrong?

mgmat catfree (650 q51, v31)
mgmat cat1 (660 q47, v33)
mgmat cat2 (680 q47, v36)
mgmat cat3 (680 q49, v34)
I am planning to give the exam in another 2 weeks. Do you guys think I would be able to cross 710 +?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Are the only materials you used to study OG 10 and Kaplan/PR?

Thanks for the reply..I was eagerly waiting for them:-
Yes for basics I just refered PR/Kaplan.
And i am very sorry i forgot..i completed Manhatten SC guide, this is a must.
Also, time to time I do CR, SC from this forum also.

in my First test I got 48 in Quant, so I did not do much in Quant.Just DS from this forum.

My weakest area is verbal, that also not consistent.In gmatprep, i do well in RC, though it has been my weakest section. But in MGMAT tests in some RC's i get all 3 or 4 correct.For some I get all 3 wrong.
As far as SC, i feel I have made a lot of progress, but the score do not reflect the same.
CR has been good. few very tough assumption questions I get wrong.

From the scores you have gotten, I think you should be ready in 2 weeks. You are doing really well on the practice tests so I think you should be fine. From what I have heard, the MGMAT tests are harder then some of the actual GMAT tests. I think you should be fine. Good luck!

From what I have read the GMAT prep CAT tests are a good indicator of your score. There will be obviously some discrepancy in your score, ranging from 30/40 from what I have read.

From my experience I was getting 750/760 on the Preps and got 730 on the real thing.

Looking at your prep scores, I would say 700+ is definitely on, so good luck!
