Today I gave my third MGMAT Test. I am halfway in my MGMAT tests now and below are my 3 test scores:

MGMAT1: 670 (Q=48, V=33)
MGMAT2: 670 (Q=47, V=34)
MGMAT3: 680 (Q=46, V=37)

I am improving on my verbal, but my quant is sliding down. So far, I have focussed only on Verbal books (MGMAT SC, RC99, OG12) in between tests as Verbal is my weak point. For Quant, I was only reviewing the test questions thoroughly. I was expecting that I will pick up on Quant too as the tests progress. I have analyzed each test result for minimum 6 hours after the test, and I see that it is paying off for Verbal, but not yet for Quant.

Any suggestions/tips for further improvement (both Q and V)? I have my actual GMAT planned in a month from now. My plan is to give the below tests in the coming weekends
1. MGMAT4
2. GMATPrep1
3. MGMAT5
4. MGMAT6
5. GMATPrep2
6. GMATPrep1 (repeat)
7. GMATPrep2 (repeat)

Quant raw scores of 48, 47, and 46 are NOT bad. Not at all! You do like to dramatize it by saying "my quant is sliding down":)

Try to focus, instead, on why you made those mistakes (which you are!). So all is well. Don't panic. I am sure you scores will improve. If I were you, I would be more tempted to take the GMATPrep earlier than later to see where I stand. Also the quant questions in the MGMAT tests are a bit different than the real GMAT quant questions.

"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."
