CAT and GMAT are different ball game. Don't judge yourself with your CAT score. Here is a CAT passage with GMAT experts view on this:

Dont judge your verbal level with your CAT score. 34 in verbal is a decent score - in your first practice test.
For non native speakers, verbal is the major concern - so start with it first. Since you have recently given CAT, you can easily cope up with GMAT maths with 2 weeks practice - as the only section you have to work is DS.

This score seems not to correlate properly. 44 in quant and 34 in verbal will fetch you something around 630-640, not 490.


Hope this helps !!

I would suggest to first target 650-700 and once you are there then target 750. Prepration needs different strategies in these 2 steps. From 500 to 650, its all about fundamentals; from 650 to 750 its all about speed and stamina.

Actually my score is 19 in Verbal not 34....
