Help! I'm scheduled to take the GMAT for the second time next week 11/27. I've taken the Kaplan prep course and studied hard for 3+ months and had private tutoring. I've taken 6 CATs and 100s of quizzes. Why can't I seem to break the low 600s?

I planned to apply 1st round for a few MBA programs in December but I'm feeling like maybe I should wait if I can't reach my target score. My optimal score is a 700 but at the rate I'm going, I feel like 650 - 670 range might be more realistic. I would be OK with the high 600s with the programs I'm applying to, but I just don't understand why I can't get my score up.

I'm currently re-taking CATs and doing problems out of the OG 11 everyday for 3 - 4 hours. I always review my answers and take note of where I went wrong. At this point I'm losing steam and need some major motivation.

Any suggestions??? :oops:
