Hi,
My exam date is 08/08 and i have still not hit my target scores.
My Kaplan scores have been 560 / 570 / 560 with verbal in high 20s and quant in mid to high 30s.
On gmat prep tests i have scored 650 and 680 [Quant scores: 45 and 47 and Verbal Score : 33 on both occassions].
I am looking at a score in excess on 700 [guess that is no surprise] and wondering if i should reschedule my exam date. Also, if i reschedule, how should i use the time to improve my scores.
With verbal, each time it turns out to that a different area pulls back my score. My hit rate with SC has improved after Manhattan, but CR and RC fluctuate constantly.
One thing i figured out was that i wasn't giving enough time to each question in verbal. I use much more time in particularly difficult RC or a difficult CR than what i should and that in turn, kills rest of the verbal, but when i don't spend that much time on it, I get most of the answers in that passage or that particular CR wrong.
Putting this post on the board as i need suggestions on:
1. Is hitting 700+ with a little over two weeks doable or will it wise to postpone the test date?
2. As score depends on answering difficult questions, how much time should you spend on difficult verbal passages or CRs?
3. How should i plan out next week or so to help me with speed up RC and CR without compromising accuracy?
4. Any particular books that i can refer for RC and CR? Also, i have exhausted my prep tests from kaplan and gmac, should i use different tests or should i just do them all over again?
All help is greatly appreciated.
