Hi crying247

Firstly don't get discouraged by this attempt. You can find lots of stories, on gmatclub, in which people have achieved their dream score in subsequent attempts.

Your score suggests you are lacking strong basics in both Quant and Verbal.
For Quant, I would suggest you go thru Manhattan Quant guides and couple them with GMAT club tests, which will help you reach Q48+.

For verbal, I would suggest you enroll for egmat.

All the best!
Hope this helps!

Hello,

Sorry about your score. I previously used EmpowerGMAT and in my opinion, the course is more situated for those with solid foundation of the concepts tested on the GMAT. You have to refresh your understanding of both quant and verbal fundamentals before using Empower’s course. You can use Kahn academy to take care of the quant fundamentals, then give EmpowerGMAT course another shot. Also, you can use one of the free verbal resources available on gmatclub to take care of your verbal fundamentals.

Feel free to PM me if you need further details.

Best wishes.

Hi crying247,

We've had some important discussions through email over the last several days - and I sent you another email yesterday, but have not heard back from you yet. Seeking out additional perspectives on your situation makes sense though - and your post here discusses an issue that I do not think that we had previously talked about (re: your overall mental health over the last 12 months). I do not expect you to discuss those types of personal details in a public forum, but if there is additional information about your mental health over the last year (such as how you have been feeling, any additional stress/anxiety you've experienced, medications that you may have taken, etc.) then it would probably help to know what those details are. If there were additional factors that were impacting your mindset - and performances - on each of your Official GMATs, then defining as much of that as possible will likely help you to perform far better on your next Official GMAT.

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

Hi crying247,

I’m sorry to hear how things have been going with your GMAT. Since you have taken the GMAT 3 times but have yet to break 550, you clearly have numerous quant and verbal weaknesses that must be strengthened in order to improve your GMAT score. That said, I think should give yourself as much time as you need to truly improve your quant and verbal skills, and take the GMAT when you are ready to do so.

Certainly, if you’d like some advice on how to improve your GMAT quant and verbal skills, feel free to reach back out. Also, you may find it helpful to read this article about The Surprising Factor That is the Key to Hitting Your GMAT Score Goal: Grit.
