Hi all,
Thanks in advance for reading my post. I like most of you have been a fighter in this GMAT test. I studied for 3 months previous time and took kaplan program and scored a mere 420. I am fortunate to find this website to be able to readup and learn from fellow classmates . Previously timing was a big issue for me as i was leaving 6-7 problems behind. Now , I retook the test this month and scored 460 with AWA rating of 4.0 and higher in Verbal (25 ) and score of 29 in Math. However Verbal percentage is higher than Math. I feel like i put lots of effort into GMAT for this result. I was not feeling good after seeing the score on the test day. However , took a positive tone again to figure out next steps.
I called up Rutger (closer to home) and they will accept people with 500 and not 460 so again i missed the opportunity with mere 40 points. My wife is suggesting i go on do something else and not an MBA but it feels to me that I really want to get business education. I went to top school for Undergrad (Univ of Michigan) and do know the value of quality education..
Let me put littlebit about my study , Below are the books i used
OG 10
->Finished all math sections
->Finished SC
->Finished all CR
-> Didn't finish all DS & RC
Sentence Correction
->Manhatten SC
->OG 10
Critical Reasoning
->OG 10
AWA
-> Princeton Review
I did get an error log and was logging errors and reviewing them. I was also doing 10 questions per topic each day to practice all the topics on the GMAT.
In terms of practice test, I took 4-5 practice tests, Here is what i recall the scores. I only practised from GMAT Prep .
1) GMATPrep 1st Attempt 470
2) GMATPrep final Attempt 510
I was studying religiously and did put off my social life.. I would say probably 1 hour per weekday and 4-5 hours over the weekend for last 2 months..
Please critique my stategy so i can overcome this allmighty EXAM.

Hi sudhanshu,
Its very hard to say what you need to do to improve this score, as you personally are going to have the best idea of your strengths and weaknesses. What aspects of each section do you find difficult? Do you struggle for time?

Dan

Thanks for asking..
I think my weakness lies in
I feel i went into the exam with
1) Weak preparation in Geometry and data sufficiency
2) Didn't do advance math problems
3) Participated (very minimal) in forums.
Perhaps i ought to focus on these now.. Darn!!!!
