580 and now what!?

Hi everybody,

I really need support from you and tell me anything that can help.

Well, I have been studying for intense 6 months I am not that kinf of a guy that just in 4 weeks with 2 hrs per day can get a score fo 760 definetly not that type of guy, I have been studying a lot and I even enrolled in one online course from Manhattangmat, the course was ok not that impresive and you don-t really have so much interaction, so if you have a weakness in something well that weakness won-t be answer because of the format course.

I like the material it was very good, and I made all the 6 test that are available at it's web page, I just needed a score over 600 not more, so I started with a score of 520 ate the Manhattan GMAT CAT tests and ending with a 660 so I thought well getting a score over 600 in the official test will not be hard, so yesterday I went to the test center and the first part in math was sooo tough, it was way tougher than any practice test that I ever made before and sometimes even more difficult than the software prep test that you download from the official mba web site, I felt lost.

During the verbal part I felt more confident and I thought that I was doing much better however guess what? when I got my results I got 63% in Math and 56% in Verbal having a poor score of 580 very dissapointing for all the effort that I have put on this exam, now I feel very discouraged and of course I would like to make the exam again but I need some hints to know how to really prepare myself for a much better score and also I am dreaming to aim over the 700's

Any advices? I would really aprecciate your comments!


I can say that for me the official GMAT was way harder
