Hi guys,

I am still not able to get the score that I need.

I have taken the kaplan course and also studied the following material.

Manhattan SC
Manhattan number properties
OG 12
Kaplan course book
Kaplan premier online

I feel like i'm hitting the brick wall, Any suggestions on what to do? round 2 deadlines are in 2 months and I am not sure that I can improve my score all that much in a month and a half.

Is it practical to raise my score by 150 points in a month and a half?

I strongly recommend you to register yourself with Knewton GMAT. they are simply the best..
Here you go...normally they charge 690$ but I'll offer you 100$ discount...Just register through this link

How much confidence do you have that you will break 700 in 1 month...be practical and it will make sense...
All the best..

I took 5-6 kaplan & gmatprep full lenght cats and I was scoring in high 590-600-610 range to the most part.

After my first try, I studied SC and CR for a full month, but only saw 1 point increase. I guess because I didn't focus on quant as much, my score went down a little there.

Do you guys recommend getting a private tutor?

should I forget about this year rounds and give my self more time and shoot for next year instead?

any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
