Thanks for the reply Rich. To answer your questions about the CATS: - I always took the entire CAT - I took them at my work office (which was quiet and in an empty cube) - I took them at 8am on Saturdays (which was when the official test was) - I didn't do anything during the CAT that I wouldn't do ...

Should I retake the GMAT for a 4th time?
So I've read a lot of posts about people scoring high on the GMAT. I feel a little out of place in this forum because I'm not trying to get a 750+ on the GMAT and I'm not trying to get into a top 10 school.

Which verbal section is easiest to improve on?
I'm preparing to take the GMAT for a 3rd time and each time I've taken the official test my verbal has been fairly good and it was the quant that was hurting my score. After a few months of heavy quant focus and improvement, I realized I need to spend some time on verbal. I've compiled data from my ...

Inference/Assumption questions
Any tips on how to improve on inference/assumption questions? I find myself making inferences that, although they seem correct, are not the ones the test is looking for.

Quant: Good in practice, bad in tests...
So for the past few weeks I've been doing the online practice questions from the 2015 OG Quant book and I normally score between 70-80%, which I'm happy with for the moment. HOWEVER, when I do a full CAT I completely bomb the quant section (last one was a 39 ~48%). I honestly don't know why. I alway...

Focus strategies?
This may be a more unorthodox topic, but I have a hard time believing no one else is like me... I took the GMAT for the first time about a month ago and scored a 590. This was after about 2 months of moderate study and scoring around 600 on practice tests (so I wasn't too surprised). It was good for...
