GMAT IN 1 WEEK-GPREP SCORE 610- Suggestions to improve score

[successdives]

Hi all,

I have my GMAT exam in 1 week. I recently took my first GPREP test and scored 610. I found the quant was tougher than what I had seen in some of the books. Also, I was tensed during the exam.

I got a split of Q(42/60) and V(32/60) and IR (5/12) and AWA, I hope to get about 4/6.

I want to improve my score to at least 650. So could you suggest me the right strategy for the last week, which can boost my score a little. Should I do practice tests more to get my timing and tension under control or should I look at different problems from each area.
Also, I wanted to know if I should practice more IR.

Any, help would be really appreciated.

Thank you

You are asking for a big jump in a week, but what you should do is review the mistakes you made and practice problems in those areas. Take the other GMAT Prep exam 3-4 days before and focus hard on your timing. It is okay to pass on questions you don't know.

With one week to go, I think it's a good idea to work on your test-taking skills (endurance and stress/time management) by taking several practice tests. You should also spend time strengthening any glaring knowledge gaps that become apparent during those tests.

Also, if you're interested, we have a free time management video at https://www.gmatprepnow.com/module/gener ... es?id=1244
