New user here that wanted some insight from the experienced GMAT'ers...
I have been studying for about a month. Did the Kaplan book and about 2/3 of the Official Guide.
Took my first practice today (gmat prep) and scored 650 under ideal test conditions with the essays. I did not finish the last 3 questions on math (not sure how much my score was affected by not guessing). Missed 9 on math and missed 11 on verbal.
I desperately need a 700. I was planning on taking another practice tomorrow and maybe on or two more during the week. Also plan to do as many more of the OG as possible.
I have not studied any of the essay strategies. I planned on covering this Thursday evening and Friday morning (test is 4pm).
Thoughts on reaching 700? Any tips?...I have read through some posts for general tips. Do I need to spend more time on the essay techniques?
Any feedback is much appreciated...
