Plateau at 650 - 3 weeks until test. Reschedule?

Hey guys, I have been studying for about a little over 2 months - about 9 weeks and I seem to have hit a plateau with my score. My study strategy has been to study using Magoosh for about 2 hours on week days and 4ish hours on weekend days. I have been pretty consistent with this, missing at max one...

Specifically the areas that I have studied, which happen to be few, asI have only been studying for a small amount of time. I am well aware that the score difference is nominal and essentially e...

I've been studying about 2 hours a day and 4-5 hours each weekend day. Except for this past week where I was sick and had no energ...

@Bara- Thanks for taking the time to reply! I created an error log earlier today for this specific reason. I plan on going through each question that I missed to diagnose where I went wrong/what I need to review. Quant is definitely my weak point as I have not done any math for quite a while. So far...

Guidance needed - Initial CAT (cold/no studying)-560

Hey guys, I am beginning my GMAT study prep and have taken an initial GMATprep practice CAT. I was hesitant about taking it without studying at all, but went ahead and did it since I read so many posts saying that this was the right way to do it. Anyways, I took it cold without any studying and scor...
