Hi today I took my first real GMAT and I failed to achieve my goal which is 600
Strange thing about me is I would stress out big time and feel super anxious during prep test (I did exactly how real GMAT works, only 8 minute breaks, no access to anything other than selected food and water) but I was feeling really confident and just little nervous during real test. Actually I was thinking I am getting 600 for sure.
but BAM I received 550 (Q44 V22)
I have been studying with
OG 2017, OG2018 Q review and V review, Manhattan SC and I prepared for about 4 month then bought Prep exam pack 1 few weeks before real exam and received 570 (Q42 V26) 600(Q44 V28).
My issue is I really don't enjoy studying Verbal because I just don't understand what it is all about (especially SC) and only studied bare minimum for this section. Maybe this is why I finish Verbal Section so quickly. I just have no idea what I am doing or what do care. Usually I have 10 mins to spare :/
So here I am and this is my plan
I am planning to take GMAT again before june.
Are there any advise for maintaining Q score while you are focusing on V
(It's not amazing but I am happy with it and I don't think I am those smart people gets 49 but please let me know if I should still try to improve Q little bit more)
Ok Verbal section
Basically where to start?? I graduated university in UK but it was long time ago (2011) I am not native English speaker and also not using English for work so my English skill is not up to the desired level.
Thank you so much for reading my mumbling and please let me know if you have any recommendation or suggestion for me.
and please keep in your mind that I am in very tight budget and I cannot afford those online courses.
Thank you guys
Hope every one is getting closer to target scores
