Hello,
I have been lingering around here for more than a year now and this is the first time I am asking for help
I am a registered nurse and I am very eager to begin my MBA journey but one thing that seems to keep getting in my way is the GMAT. I started studying in the beginning of the year and in the past three months I have been very consistent and have put in around 6 hours of studying a day four days a week. I completed the Manhattan prep GMAT interact program and have been doing questions, mini quizzes and practice exams. I review all the answer explanations even to the questions I get right (book explanation and gmat club). Most of my mistakes seem to be due to the rush of having to answer each question within two minutes. I am at the point where I feel like I am very comfortable with most of the material (quant and verbal)
I started reading the economist in the beginning of this year to improve my verbal skills, and it certainly shows on the exam but I cannot seem to get a score higher than 520.
I just finished taking yet another practice gmat and my score today was 500. V23, Q36. During practice quizzes I always score between 50% and 80%.
I scheduled an official exam for August 11th. I am 3 weeks away and I feel lost but not discouraged.
If any one has any tips for these final three weeks before the exam it would be much appreciated. I know I should not expect to go from 500 to above 600 in just three weeks, I just don't understand why months of preparation has left me with such a sad score.
I know this is just one part of the overall application and I am quite confident that I make a great MBA candidate, but due to my non-traditional background I feel like I have to prove myself with the GMAT.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I am very open to any ideas and recommendations at this point.

Hello RNtoMBA,
GMAT club is one of the great platforms to get information about the GMAT official test, Study plan, Section wise instructions, and many more.
Your current GMAT mock score is shaky but you can surely do better.
You can schedule a free counseling(https://calendly.com/mathrevolution/1-on-1-session) session for 20 mins with one of our experts to have detailed advice on your current study plans.
A couple of things that can be a noticeable barrier to your scores would be some or all of the below.
• Not detailed knowledge of GMAT Math patterns and Question types
• Inefficiency by using time-consuming Conventional method to tackle DS and PS questions still
• No expert support (maybe) who can tutor, analyze, and guide you during your learning
• Lack of many updated questions and practice in the recent exam trend
• Not well aligned with time to solve questions.
Precisely, there has to be one end-to-end solution encompassing all the points mentioned above. We also want to understand your approach to solving PS and DS questions. You can try our free diagnostic test https://www.mathrevolution.com/diagnostic/dtExamMember and receive a comprehensive study guide by topic. This test will clearly help you understand your weak areas.
The diagnostic test report will give you a detailed insight into various topics and your performance.
Also, make a note of various possible combinations to achieve your target score. The possible scores will help you track your performance after taking the mock or practice test. It will also help you maintain balance in both the sections, and you will always be in a great position to allot the study hours to a specific area accordingly.
We recommend that you must learn the Variable Approach for solving DS questions and the IVY approach for solving PS questions in order to improve your accuracy and save time while solving the question types.
Register with MathRevolution https://www.mathrevolution.com/member/signup to get access to our 7-days on-demand course for free trial lessons.
Start with the learning of the concepts. Make a habit of taking notes during the initial learning of the concepts.
Adding to the same, mastery of the Variable Approach to solve DS questions and the IVY approach to solve PS questions would add a feather to the cap. Below is the useful link we will recommend you to visit on GMAT club to experience the power of DS and IVY approaches.

Regular tests will reflect the positive change in the score, and hence, your confidence will boost up. Gradually, with the help of mock tests, you will be able to compete with time and hence will be able to learn time management.
We appreciate your time and patience in reading this reply.
