The final crackdown - need some advice

by mjc565 » Sat Jun 08, 2013 1:58 pm
Hi all,

I'm aiming to take the GMAT in about 6 weeks from today. For my prep, I'm using the MGMAT self-study materials. These are the following test scores:

CAT #1: 570 (untimed so i guess it doesn't really count)
CAT #2: 640 (Q44, V34)
CAT #3: 600 (Q40, V33)
CAT #4: 600 (Q39, V34)- taken today

These are all MGMAT CATs - none of them were GMATPrep ones.

Based on looking back at the weaknesses, the following are my weaknesses:
-CR (weaken, inference/ conclusions)
-RC (specific detail, occasional main idea ones)

Quant:
-Number properties
-Geometry
**missing more DS questions than Problem solving ones.

I spent about 5-6 days working on the SAME weaknesses listed above after I took CAT #3 and spent time analyzing my strengths and weaknesses. (by solving OG questions that fall into to those topics). I do time myself, aiming a ball park of 2 minutes / question (for SC I shoot for 1:30).

What am I doing wrong? I just want to make sure I'm spending the time efficiently for this prep.

Thank you all.
