Hello guys.
I have my exam scheduled for the 31st August. I aim for a score of 650 or above, but the highest result I have scored is 610 on the GMAT Prep. CAT 2. Is there a way to improve my result in the following days as I have made quite a jump from 440 to 610 , but now I am in a pinch and am quite stressed for the upcoming exam :S

It's possible you could score a 650+, but that only gives you less than 2 weeks to gain approx 50 pts. I suggest trying to do it with strategy and analyzing old questions rather than answering a million new ones.

Review the OG and the GMAT Prep questions thoroughly, re-taking as needed and re-emphasizing the concept behind each Q. I would try to identify 3 weak areas in Quant and work hard on them.

For Verbal, I'd focus on using your scratch pad and working intently on CR and RC strategy. Breaking down the passages and looking at the structure of the rhetoric. If you search BTG online, you can find a number of articles and posts I've written on CR and RC strategy.

Good luck!

Thanks Vivian , but I had a bad luck with my exam. I'm writing about the experience of my first attempt on the exam in the other forum.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
