Hi guys,
Long time lurker here. I love the vast amounts of information that is on here and I thought I'd ask for a bit of advice.
I wrote the GMAT in December and got an embarrassing 540. I don't remember exactly what the section scores were.
I am not upset about the score I received due to the fact that I probably studied for about 30 hours total over the course of 3 months.
I am planning on re-taking it and actually putting in effort this time. I am about to enter week 3 of studies and noticing it to be a true test of endurance and time management (working full-time, gym, girlfriend, etc.). However, I am finding myself successful in allocating 2hrs each weekday and 4hrs Saturday and 4hrs Sunday to study.
I took a GMATprep mock test before I began re-studying just to really see where I'm at and dissect my weaknesses. I scored a 530 Q34 V28.
I have always been a strong test taker as a student and was always able to pass exams with minimal to zero studying.
I know the GMAT is a different type of test which is why I'm here asking for help. I've noticed a lot of my errors (about 40%-50%) on the quant section were due to carelessness/not reading the question fully/reading too fast.
I understand that I will have to boost both my quant and verbal scores to get where I need to be.
Ideally, I would like to get into USC Marshall's MBA program and pursue a career in finance.
I was wondering if anyone could provide any guidance/tips/advice for me to reach my goal.
Materials:
OG 2018
Kaplan Math Workbook
I have looked into MGMAT's quant books as I've heard great things about them, but it is difficult for me financially.
I am open to possibly purchasing just the number properties book or something else that you guys would recommend that wouldn't hurt my wallet as bad as buying everything.
Thanks in advance

Hi Senpapi,
You've come to realize that the GMAT isn't quite like other Exams that you've taken - so you have to put in the necessary time and effort to properly train to face the GMAT. 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 your timeline and goals:
1) What is your exact goal score?
2) When are you planning to retake the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
4) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich
