I am confusing! How good I should be to have 750?

nlily2000

I target at 750 in GMAT. But, I don't know to what extent I need to prepare for it.  Before I really start to do OG, I got 640 and 660 through PP3 software.  If you don't give credit to the score from software, how do I evaluate myself "ok, I am ready to go!".  

I am really confusing.

Also, now I always make one to two mistakes on reading comprehension on the first time.  The reading material will run out soon. What I should do next?  Do it again. But, I have remember the answers to the questions and understand why I am wrong.

If I want to have 750, how good I should be?  Make no mistakes at all!  What is maximal mistake you are allowed to make?  Furthermore, it is so hard not to make any mistakes. Can I cure my carelessness if I review OG several times?  

Your advice will be appreciated!

很多人准备考试的误区在于不断地做题，而没有通过题目认真分析自己的弱点，再加以突破。

如果做题目的话，4篇阅读40分钟就完成了，但是如果要解决在这4篇阅读中自己存在的问题：单词，句子结构，特殊的表达方式，则时间就会是400分钟，甚至更多。

所以，利用宝贵的题目，不断的反思自己的弱点和ETS的思维方式，是取得进步的关键。

关于750，我个人觉得数学全对，语法90%以上，阅读每篇最多错一个或不错，逻辑85%以上，应该就差不多了。

当初考试的时候，我也存在同样的问题：什么时候才知道自己准备好了，问过新东方的老师，被人嗤之以鼻。

考完以后，我反思自己的经历，发现如果你等自己完全准备好了，再报名，时间会非常长。我们应该根据自己学习的效率周期来定义考试的时间，一般脱产的不要超过3个月，不脱产的不要超过5个月，以这个为时间标准，来确定自己的考试时间。
