thx you in advance for your advice/direction/thoughts/etc. my question is: when should i start taking practice CATs in my gmat studying + pursuit to beat the gmat w/ a 700+ score?
my current situation/background: started studying beginning of this year (2013), have not booked test date but thinking may/june time frame. i am a fall 2014 applicant (kellogg dream school). i come from non-quant background (marketing/ad agency side); therefore, for past 2 months (and prob for next 2 months) i am dedicating studying strictly to math.
reviewing full manhattan gmat books + foundations of math. gone through concepts twice now (from arthimetic to numb properties); now approx. 50% through all OG13 quant questions (currently in Word Problems Guide #3 of #5).
does it make sense to take only math portion of a practice CAT in my situation? or what would you suggest as an alternative?
i'm following the advice i've read in this forum that you want to master each concept, let alone each section, prior to moving on to next. my verbal will clearly be stronger than math. but no home run for verbal either; i will need to apply myself to the material (that said, more confident there than math).
of course, i've taken a diagnostic test prior to starting all of this (640 - manhattan). so, when would you advise that i start taking practice CATs?
thank you so much -- i really appreciate it!!
