GMAT Strategy

I have done practice tests to try and find out where my natural skills are, however, I have been rather confused by the results.

I have done 3 practice exams (2 Kaplan, 1 MGMAT):

Kaplan 1: 610 (Q33 39%, V44 97%)
Kaplan 2: 630 (Q34 41%, V49 99%)
ManhattanGMAT: 670 (Q44 73%, V37 83%)

Clearly my strength lies in the verbal arena and not the quantitative.

My original plan after the Kaplan exams was to focus only on math, since the difference in Q and V scores is very extreme and clearly consistent.

However my score is much more balanced on the Manhattan exam which makes me think I should split my time more equally.

I did not expect the scores to correlate score wise but I expected consistancy in "Weak" and "strong" areas. I did not expect a drastic upswing in my "weak" subject and drastic downswing in my "strong" one.

Does anyone have any advice / insight into my situation?
Any help in figuring out what the swing means and what my study plan should be would be much appreciated.



Thanks!!

Do not base any study plans on a Kaplan test score!!! Read around the forums...most people here say that Kaplan tests are not anything like the real thing. MGMAT is better for sure, but you should take MATPrep for the best indicator.

HOWEVER...stop taking tests altogether until you spend some significant time working on untimed practice questions and learning GMAT strategies. Don't neglect verbal, but definitely focus more on quant.
