Hi,
I have been preparing for the GMAT for the past couple of months now (almost regularly) but I have seen my score varying a lot.
In the last 2 months my scored has varied like below:
1 Kalpan online test- 610 (official conditions)
2 MGCAT1- 640 (V33, Q45) (official conditions)
3 MGCAT2- 670 (V37, Q44) (official conditions)
3 MGCAT3- 740 (V45, Q46) (Essay not written)
4 MGCAT4- 660 (V36, Q44) (official conditions)
5 ETS Sample GMAT 690
I used OG11 and QG12 for the sample question and Manhattan Sentence Correction guide for the grammar part
I am aiming for atleast 700+ in the test.
Could you please advice me on how to go forward in the these remaining 14 days to achieve my target score?
Thank you in advance.

Re: 14 days to GMAT
Well, overall your score trend is very good. I think you have a decent chance of hitting 700.
Given that you have 11 days from now to the GMAT, and that you should spend the day or two before the GMAT just resting, I would advise that you first deeply review any missed questions from your last 3 tests. Think about what kinds of questions they are, what strategies you should use in the future, and whether on the real test you should devote time to these types of questions or whether you should be more inclined to guess if things aren't going well. Formulate a game plan as to which types of questions you are willing to commit time to and which questions you should be prepared to abandon quickly if you get stuck.
Aside from that, I think that doing timed sets involving all the question types (problem solving and data sufficiency in math; sentence correction, critical reasoning, and reading comp in verbal) is the way to go, and deeply review each question. For example, you could do 1 reading comp passage of 4 questions, 4 sentence corrections, and 3 reading comps, and give yourself 20 minutes to do this. Then deeply review each question. For math, do 5 problem solving and 5 data sufficiency in 20 minutes, then deeply review. You can do longer sets (double or triple this) if you have more time).
Good luck!
