Am I studying right?

by dagoldbe » Mon Dec 16, 2013 11:11 am
Hi,

I have been studying for the GMAT now for a couple months using a Kaplan course. On my diagnostic test I scored a 680 and was pretty happy (shooting for 700's ultimately). As I got more into the tests my scores began to decrease. My next CAT scores were 630, 600, 600, 600, and then 610. Every time I try to tackle a new topic I seem to make mistakes on a different topic. My verbal which was the 92nd percentile on the first diagnostic has fallen to 48th percentile. I tend to get 4 wrong in a row sometimes and I think that is something that is hurting me. I don't know if my studying is right or if this is normal - I tend to choose a subject or two a night and pound the practice problems going through what I missed on the wrong ones and where my thought process veered off and then move to a new subject each day, with Thursday and Friday off. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
My test date: Jan 23rd
