Disappointed - Bad Score. What to do ? [#permalink] New post   19 Feb 2009, 10:15
[color=olive]

Hi , I just wrote GMAT and scored 430 with Quant 30 percentile and Verbal below 20. I am preparing for last 2 months and have completed the following :

1. OG10
2. Kaplan
3. Kaplan Verbal Workbook
4. Manhattan Sentence Correction.


I am really disappointed with my score. But I still have high spirit and wanna give GMAT again. My target score is 700. I think I am lacking strategy to shoot a question.

Please help me and suggest how to do well. I am ready to put 2-3 months or more if required.. But I really wanna do well.

Thanks in Advance

Toyo,
Have you considered using one of the prep classes: Veritas, MGMAT or Kaplan. I think you may find the structure and guidance of a live class helpfull. As i have previously stated I would do as many practice exams as you could possibly do.

May want to consider some of the suggestions for materials here: t74310-recommendations-for-best-gmat-prep-books

Classes are also an option, but they are not everyone.

i guess you shoud be giving more n more practice tests and check for improvements, shortfalls in each tests. thats really a great way of improving your score. but if you are stuck somewhere you better go for professional help. Here are some references for your help. you can get here many practice tests:
