Gmat on 9/24/2008 I need some advice

by EE2009 Mon Aug 18, 2008 3:55 pm

Yesterday was the last of my on line course. I have been following the study organizer and also keeping track of my answers and timing. I will take the GMAT exam at the end of next month. I completed all of the questions at ManhattanGMAT study guides and OG 11. ( The orange book)

I attached my verbal and quant stats as below. During my studies, I revisited my wrong answers and solved them again and checked the OG explanations. I am an engineer and I am confident with my quant skills. ( PS seems okay but I missed some DS questions) . My CR hit rate and timing is getting better but I am still not above 90 % hit rate. I really am spending good amount of time on mastering the SC part and I am hoping to buy some time from this section and use it at RC part, which I struggle the most! ( Especially the inference questions - please see my verbal stats )

In the next 4-5 weeks, I am planning to finish the other two OG books ( I prepared GMAT tests from these two book - please see the attached file) and review my mistakes and jump to CAT after I completed all of the OG questions. What do you think of this strategy ?

I will be happy with any score above 690 and I secretly want to score 800! ;-)

What would you recommend me to do in the following 4-5 weeks ?

Regards,

EE2009

Have you signed up for the end-of-course test review? If you took the three tests assigned on the syllabus during the length of the course, you qualify for this review, and your teacher is the best person to give you this review, as s/he saw your performance throughout the length of the program.

Email your teacher (or, if you've lost the email address, email studentservices@manhattangmat.com to ask for it) and ask about the test review. Mention all of the info you typed above - what you plan to do - and ask the teacher what s/he thinks.

Also, you're not alone - lots of people secretly want to score 800! :)
