analyzing CATs

[ritu7s]

Hi,

I have been studying for GMAT for quite some time but my score seems to be stuck in the same range around 620-640(Q44-45) and V(31-32) and taken from 2 different sources (GMAT Prep and Manhattan CAT).

Can any of the experts/fellow GMAT takers help me reach the 700 mark by suggesting the best strategy to follow from now on.

Also I analyzed my scores with respect to the question types, difficulty level,etc.

I seem to be getting more of 700-800 level questions wrong,my timing however looks fine to me as I did not linger on any of the questions for too long.

Also I get several question wrong in a row which seems to be hurting my score.How to get over this?

Thanks a lot.

Your situation is analogous to most sports. Once people learn the basics techniques, they're not experts the next day.

It sounds like you're preparation strategy is great (analyzing scores with respect to the question types, difficulty level, etc.). Sometimes it takes a while to see significant improvement.

If your content knowledge and test-taking skills (time management, stress reduction, endurance, etc.) are all good, then it may just be a matter of practice, practice, practice.

Cheers,
Brent
