Your current scoring level right now is about what you should expect to get on the GMAT in two weeks - it takes longer than that to make any substantial change. I know that you only need 20 more points, but you can't guarantee that any changes made so quickly will be solid enough in two weeks that you can definitely hit your score goal. I know this is likely not what you want to hear, but you probably need to give yourself a little more time.

You're almost at your goal, so I'm wondering whether there are some small changes we can make that will help to get you there more quickly. Use the below article to analyze your most recent MGMAT practice CAT, then come back here and share your analysis. We'll help you figure out what to do from there:

Thanks StaceyKoprince.

I have another bad news, I appeared GMATPrep and got 350 (verbal 14 and quant 26), really don't understand about whats going on with my score, I feel very upset, don't know whether i should appear the gmat or not.

Do you think i should appear the test or take more time?

Until we can figure out why your score dropped so much, you should wait.

Having a score drop like that can hurt your confidence; if you go into the real test with low confidence, the chances are greater that you will not have a good time on test day.

Read the below article and use it to try to help figure out what went wrong on this GMATPrep test. Then come back here and tell us what you found out. We'll help you decide what to do (though you may already know what you want to do after you figure out what happened).
