Hi gmat59,

These two GMAT scores are almost identical, which means that you approached the second GMAT in the same general ways that you approached the first GMAT.

With your score goal, you're going to have to improve 100 points or more. Considering how long you've studied already, that is not likely to happen in 2 weeks.

1) What resources have you used during your studies?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School?

Thankfully, the GMAT is a predictable, standardized Test, so you CAN train to score at a higher level. You will have to make some significant adjustments to how you handle the Exam though and you will likely need to invest in some new resources.

Hi gmat59,

The OG 2016 is a great source for practice problems, but it's not designed to teach your Tactics, patterns or the 'secrets' of the GMAT. For all of those assets, you would likely find it beneficial to invest in a GMAT Course of some kind (either Guided Self-Study or Instructor-Led). Most GMAT Companies offer some type of free materials (practice problems, Trial Accounts, videos, etc.) that you can use to 'test out' a product before you buy it. We have a variety of those resources at our site (www.empowergmat.com). I suggest that you take advantage of all of them then choose the one that best matches your personality, timeline and budget.
