I took GMATPrep test #2 today, and my reaction is mixed. I scored a 720 overall, which I was initially elated by. However, I’m concerned by my Q / V split. I got a 45 Verbal (one point better than last time!) and a 43 Quant. This is a 6 point increase from my last practice test Q score in a little over a week (much better time management and focus on my weak areas), but still only puts me in the 68% percentile which is well below the 80% plus that the top schools are looking for.
My studying is going to be heavily focused on quant for the next two weeks (test is two weeks from tomorrow); my concern is a) whether or not I can improve by the 5 points I need to break the 80% barrier and b) how important that 80% in Q & V is to the top schools, should I fall below?
Anyone have any words of wisdom for me?
