Rich, Thanks for geting back to me - I remember your invaluable advice from the summer of '14. Unfrotantely, I broke a bone 12 hours before the exam (I was playing flag football). Needless to say, taking an exam will in pain was not a recipe for sucess (Scored a 600, but cancled). I was testing in t...

530-680 (Practice) in 5 weeks
I took a Veritas CAT 5 weeks into my course and went up 140 pts ( All in Quant).
Weirdly, I wound up staying the same in my Verbal.
I have found it hard to get my verbal from 41 to the 44 I want on test day.
Any suggestions?

Thank you for such great tips!
I will try to take the CAT in mornings when I don't work. I like your suggestion about waiting 2-3 weeks. I felt on the CAT I understood what was being asked, but forgot the tools and formulas to get the answer.
Thank You!

First test train wreck!
I took my first GMAT practice exam through Veritas Prep (having not studied): Math: 22 (11% percentile). Verbal: 43 (92% percentile). Overall: 530 (40% percentile). Here is my question: Is my goal is a 700 and T-25 admin realistic? Is the Math part something I can learn and bring up to a 80%? I foun...
