1st CAT exam

[franw319]

Good evening,

I just completed my first CAT exam today and got 530 (38Q,26V). I completed ones every manhattan quant book but didn't get across doing verbal yet ( I am not an english native speaker).
I don't really know what to think about my score.

What would you suggest to enable me to reach 650+ by the beginning of December (5 dec.)? I am at university in the meantime but I always find a few hours a day to study during the week and longer hours on week ends.

Thanks for your help and advice!

Regards,
Francesca

Hi! Please remember to read the forum guidelines before posting. Please don't "bump" your own post. We respond to all posts in order, oldest first, and the date of your post is based on the date of the last post in the thread, not the first. If you bump your own post, you will wait longer for a response.

You're at a solid starting point. 5 Dec is less than 2 months away - so just be aware that this might be enough time but it might not be quite enough. You'll have to see how your progress is as you go.

First, read these two articles:

Think about how what you've been doing does and doesn't match up with that and how you may need to change your approach accordingly.

Then, use the below to analyze your most recent MGMAT CAT(s) (this should take you a minimum of 1 hour):

Based on all of that, figure out your strengths and weaknesses as well as any ideas you have for what you think you should do. Then come back here and tell us; we'll tell you whether we agree and advise you further. (Note: do share an analysis with us, not just the raw data. Part of getting better is developing your ability to analyze your results - figure out what they mean and what you think you should do about them!)
