Giving the GMAT on 27th of Nov...exactly one week to go....
My scores are in the range of 550 to 600....
plan to take the week off and study...so have a good 10-12 hours eveyday to study....
Is it possible to reach somewhere close to the 700 mark?...670....690 will be ok...but below 600 sucks...:-(

My plan is to do a full lenght test evey morning....work on the answers post that and then revise concepts.

My issues seem to be
1) Cannot concentrate for 3 and a half hour at a stretch
2) Run out of time for Quantitative
3) Quant -Quant- Quant!
4) Sentence Correction...
5) Make silly errors because of reading the question wrong...


Any advice would be great

Given the fact that your scores are hovering between 550-600,it's seems very difficulty,in fact very very difficult to achieve a a 700 within a week even if you study for 10-12 hours a day. However ,you may want to give your best! Good luck!

Well...I did it....!! :-) I wanted to get AS CLOSE to 700 as possible and I got a 680!!! :-) Not bad eh...so next time someone is looking for words of encouragement.....you know it is possible to move from a 550 to a 680....in a week!!

All the tests I have done...the range of my scores have been....540....550.....560....570.....580.....600....550....back to 540....and the max I reached on a practice test was 610....and Lo behold in a test that matters....680!!! :-)

Feel if I was aiming for a 700...and had psyched myself to it.....I may just have made it to 700 also.....! Maybe I just got lucky....and god helped me to concentrate and get the right answers!

Congrats! I am in a similar position, I have 2 weeks to move from a 630 to a 680. What did you do during the week that helped the most? What materials did you study?
