3 Attempts 400->460->530 Need help/suggestions to reach 700+ [#permalink] New post   29 Dec 2017, 13:35

Hello everyone,

I gave my gmat yesterday (3'rd attempt ) and scored 530 (Q37, V24) with almost 1yr of preparation.

I believe i have spent enough time to prepare for the test. I have taken couple of gmat courses (e-gmat, gmatclub tests, Economist gmat tutor) in last 1 year and my mock test scores never went below 600 but actual scores are < 600.

I am not how to approach from here and not sure whether i am really fit for gmat/mba looking at my scores. I dont think none of the members of gmatclub has ever scored < 600 in all the attempts.

Please let me know how to approach from here?

Thanks & Regards

Welcome to Gmatclub and be rest assured that you shall be guided well in
your journey.

I urge to you to see this post
and post your ESR so that experts can review the same and provide detailed inputs.

Also the courses you took are well known names so did you follow any strategies
taught by them during your prep course? It seems you jumbled up far too many courses
in an year without diligently concentrating your efforts on any one of them.

Hope this helps. Feel free to post any further query.

Hi Ancestry,

Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long did you study before each of your GMATs?
2) What study materials did you use for each attempt?
3) On what dates did you take each of your GMATs? What were the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for each?
4) How did you score on your last 3 practice CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores fore each)?

Goals:
5) What is your goal score?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

As other members have suggested, please share ESR. Better to post ESR for last 3 GMATs. Do you see anything common between them?

Also, you need to confirm whether the anxiety level were high on the day of the Actual GMAT? This was one of the reason I scored 590 when my GMAT prep score was in range of 660-700.
Was prep GMAT given under similar conditions and with timed breaks?
