Hi manan27,

Some Test Takers end up taking too many CATs during their studies. Score improvement comes from learning/practicing Tactics, consistently doing organized work, NOT doing work in your head, etc. A CAT is just a 'measuring device' - when used correctly, it will give you a reasonable assessment of your skills and point out your 'weak spots', but it will NOT make you a better Test Taker.

All of that having been said, I have a few questions about your studies so far:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What materials have you been using?
3) How many CATs have you taken so far?

4) What was your score on your last CAT (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
5) Did you take the ENTIRE CAT (including the Essay and IR sections)?
6) What is your goal score?

Thanks for the reply. Here are the answers to your questions.
1) I have been studying from last 3 months.
2) I have been using the material that i got from princeton review center(and some private notes given by the local instructor) and a few manhattan books.
3) I have taken 12 CATS sofar
-Gmat prep1-630
-gmat prep2-640
-manhattan CATS- range from 620-680
-princeton CATS- range from 600-690
I took the actual gmat but scored 610 only. I want to take the test again and improve my score.
4) In the last CAT my scored dipped to ever lowest of 600.
5) In all the CATS i have taken with IR but only in few CATS I took AWA as well.
6) My target score is 680 or more.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
