Hi all,
I have a few questions. Thanks in advance for your hints.
1. Target Score: 650+ Shall I take the test in a few days or wait? I would like to apply for Fall 09. Deadlines for Round I are scheduled beginning October 08.
pls see above my practice tests score:
1st attempt GMAT (Feb 08) 470 (Q32, V23) -never done a full practice test and not aware of the excellent MGMAT books. But I took Kaplan courses (seem not to be helpful)
Then, after reading the books:
Free MGMAT Cat: 520 (Q31, V31)
MGMAT 1: 640 (Q40, V37)
(but stopped the timing when hit hard questions in Verbal)
MGMAT 2: 570 (Q38, V30)
MGMAT 3: 530 (Q33, V31)
MGMAT 4: 600 (Q43, V30)
MGMAT 5: 560 (Q39, V29)
MGMAT 6: 510 (Q35, V25)
Gmat prep 2: 640 (Q44, V34) (but see about 4-5 repeats in CR)
Gmat prer 1: 610 (Q44, V30)
Gmatprep 1 repeat: 690 (Q43, V40) (too many repeats in Verbal)
Powerprep: 610 (Q40, V34)
It seems that MGMAT boosts my score in Quant. But I am still stuggling with Verbal. I always run out of time and I have to guess the last 5 questions in Quant and Verbal. I am trying to improve my timing strategy and "let go" some questions.
Do I need to wait to score higher than 650 to expect 650+?
2. How to improve my verbal?
(This question has been asked a hundred times.)
I have exhausted the main books (OG, MGMAT) and cats.
Shall I take a private tutor to boost my verbal? Unfortunately, MGMAT is not in Paris. What about veritas tutors?
Many questions. Hope to get your insights. I have not prepared my apps and did not take the gmat. But still want to apply for Round 1. Is it realistic with respects to my target score?
Very much appreciated!
