My current situation is MANHANTEN CAT TEST 530, quant 38,verb 28. I really want to improve my quant to 50 and verb to 40, I did prep test all over and og reviewed all.

There are 4 days left before I go to the test center, what am I gonna do??? Is possible I can improve 100 or at least 50..

Because now that I am chinese, we have a website which offers most of current tests questions memorized by test takers and they post on website for us to review, most of those 700+ chinese students get 700+ because of using this, I think it might be helpful for the last 4 days

Another strategy for last 4 days is do the manhanten cat test repeatedly review all the mistakes to 700, I don't whether will this do me any good?

Pls give some advice...

In my experience with over 1000 students, the best thing you can do in the days leading up to the text are two things:
(1) Review work that you have already completed. I.e. personal notes, and problems previously completed.
(2) Take a break. Plan to have a light week leading up to the exam. The day prior to your sitting, especially, should be light.

More directed advice: I suggest that you adjust your expectations.

A 530 is approximately a 40 percentile score.
A 700 is approximately a 90 percentile score.

It is not reasonable for you to expect an increase of that magnitude in 4 days.

If you took a MGMAT CAT and scored a 530, then I suggest that you set your test day score goal at ... 530. If you score above 530, then you have exceeded expectations.

Regarding the use of pirate question banks. I highly recommend that you not use those for a couple of reasons:
(1) Using questions you believe are on the actual test is cheating, plain and simple. You can and should be barred from top business schools for life for using them. (This has happened to others in the past and is a real risk.)
(2) You are trying to game the system. This is preventing you from making real improvement in useful life skills such as math, reading, and grammar.

Don't panic. Take the test in 4 days and set a new bench mark for yourself. Then, resume your studying with a higher goal and keep working at it. You can get there if you try hard enough and you want it badly enough. I've personally seen many people improve their scores more than you are hoping for and I'm sure you can find many examples on this forum of others doing the same.

Good luck,

T

So how can I improve my score to 700??

How many days do you think??

Is only by reviewing the same questions I done before good enough?
I plan to do 700+ questions to improve my ability is that helpful???\
what kind of ways do you think that can help me to get 700+ most effectively and within the fewer days of reviewing..


By the way, what kind of material do you suggest that can help to immediately improve my ability from 500 to 700???

regarding the pirate question banks I think you are probably right... But I don't think it will be found out by Biz school because those questions have been memorized and used on the test.. how do they know about this cheating even test center girls don't find out they are cheating.. Any how I used them and it turns the opposite way... it feels good but I think I should improve my real ability... I need to remember that...
