Only reached 600 so far: How to improve.

by chuck_d » Sat Oct 04, 2008 1:00 pm
Hello Everybody,
I have been preparing for GMAT for last two months and I am planning to give the exam at the end of Oct.

Here's my result so far

GMATPREP
08/15/08 540 (Q? V?) don't remember the breakdown.

MGMAT
9/10/08 600 ( Q42 V30)
9/22/08 570 ( Q35 V33)
9/29/08 600 ( Q42 V32)

KAPLAN
10/1/08 540 (Q35 V24)
(Found verbal RC very tough is this usally the case on actual gmat? )

So far I am able to score around 600, but I would really like to go above 700.
What course of action should I take to get a score of above 700.

Please help.

To improve your score by more than a 100 points a this stage, you will need to very clinical in your approach. Identity the areas where you are weak, you will have to carefully review each test you have taken to list down the areas and question types you have got wrong. Work on each of them.
Wish you good luck

I thought GMAT Prep and Actual GMAT reading passages tended to be easier than those found in exams made by prep companies.
