Need more info/input. How have you been preparing? Score breakdowns? Time management in each section? GMATPREP results (the only test I truly trust in terms of score prediction)
Thanks a lot for your reply! Please find a bit about my background below
I work full time, take care of a part time business and have been preparing for GMAT for a while now. My first official score was a shocking 380 which i gave without any studies. After the first attempt I went back to MGMAT book and started to learn the basics.
After going through all the MGMAT book (except SC). I did not study SC at all for the real exam and did not study OG. This was because i dint understand anything in SC and was getting frustrated. So my SC was purely on my previous knowledge. I gave a few practice CATs
03 Jun 2011 - MGMAT
Q 33 V 28 Total 520
27 Jun 2011 - Official exam
Q 35 V 25 Total 510.
I was increasingly getting frustrated but i had to accept that I now have to study SC and there is no other way out! Its lot harder for non native speakers. So I started studying SC and OG from page 1 to last. I have finished SC once a while ago. I am more than half way though OG Quant section and completed OG SC ages ago. I will revise the wrong answers before the exams.
Below are my CAT scores along the journey
21 Aug 2011 - MGMAT
Q 30 V 31 Total 510
27 Aug 2011 - MGMAT
Q 41 V 31 - Total 590
17 Sep 2011 - MGMAT
Q 35 V 33 - Total 570 ( i got atleast 4 Quant questions wrong which i could have solved easily!)
18 Sep 2011 - MGMAT
Q 36 V 35 - Total 600
Studying on OG after that. Have not given any more exam. Just regular studying.
