GMAT Strategy

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?
