It's hard to tell whether your scores are really stagnating, when the tests are from different sources.
The most accurate tests are the GMATPrep tests (and I happen to think the PowerPrep tests are pretty good too).

Take another GMATPrep test to see how you do.

When it comes to improving your score, you really need to focus on improving weaknesses, especially on the Verbal side, where it's important to have to have similar skills for all 3 question types, otherwise your weakest subject area will pull down your mark.

Have you been keeping track of your progress, with regard to certain question types (e.g., using BTG's OG12 Error log)? If so, you can use this to focus your efforts.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Brent

Hello Brent,

Yes I do keep a track of my errors and revise them.

I have also taken Prep 2 and scored 610 Q42 V31.

I am really disappointed with my quant score.

Have observed and taken down a few points while anaylsing my test's including 3rd party test's.

I can easily answer 5-6 quant questions that I have got incoorect on the test without reading the explanations.This is what frustrates me because there is no gap in concepts but due to time constraint or sometimes just going blank due to stress results in these errors.I am very sure if i can fix this my quant score will be in the higher 40's.

Your suggestions to fix this issue will help.

Regards,

Chetan Chhabria
