Hello,
My GMAT test date is approaching really soon. I am taking the exam on Tuesday, June 2 at 8am. I have been studying since early March. I started a Saturday GMAT course with Kaplan on March 7 and finished on May 2. During and after my course, I have really been focusing intensively on different kinds of questions from ALL practice CAT's I have taken so far. Out of diligence, I have taken at least one CAT a week.
Now that test date is approaching, I am really trying to digest everything and it really seems difficult. There's only so much I feel I can do at this point. My weaknesses are critical reasoning and reading comprehension, although comprehension has improved slowly. It seems like no matter how much practice I do, CR is a weakness over and over, especially on some questions I am able to get down to a 50-50 chance of getting them right. I have really really been trying to make sure math is strong as possible but scores have gone up and down. Here are the results of all practice exams.
Diagonostic Paper & Pencil with Kaplan = 480 (start of course)
CAT 1 550
CAT 2 520
CAT 3 550 (Verbal percentile 48)
CAT 4 540 (Verbal percentile 48)
CAT 5 620 (Verbal percentile 48)
CAT 6 560 (Verbal percentile 48)
Ultimate Practice Test 620 (taken on 5/8) = 70% quant and 43% verbal
CAT 7 540
GMAT Prep1 CAT 360
GMAT Prep2 CAT 540
* Because of UPT results and instead of thinking over and over, I booked my GMAT exam date a couple weeks ago. Really, it is my goal to just ace this thing and I do not want to worry about the scores I have been getting so far.
Any advice on consolidating everything for the exam, please let me know. I would greatly appreciate it. As part of my Kaplan course, I have been focusing a lot on practice CAT's (answering and reviewing them afterwarrs, in fact, even late last week, I went back and reviewed as much of all the first 6 CAT's, I have taken), online exercises, Official Guide questions. I plan on focusing these next last days for the exam on OG questions as there are still more questions to answer.
Thanks for your help!
