Hi. I've been taking a
Manhattan GMAT test course since early May of this year. I've been tracking my progress in a spreadsheet and haven't seen the improvement I was hoping for. As a someone who is retaking the test after a two year hiatus, I've been grinding through work, as opposed to a few years ago when I didn't study at all. Nervous that studying and learning the proper ways of attacking questions is becoming more detrimental than beneficial. Can anyone provide insight? I've attached the spreadsheet so that you have what I have.
Thanks!
Right now, this would be my advice - Quit taking practice tests at this time - you will waste your time and effort if you do so. You have already taken enough to know what you really need to work on. Now spend time and energy on working hard in those areas. With about 30 in Verbal and 40 in Quant, there is certainly enough scope for improvement. Studying and learning the proper ways might seem to drag you down initially but they will ultimately lead to gains so don't give up. Choose the right study material for each area you need to attack. Take a test now only after a good 15-20 days preparation. See if you improved in the areas in which you focused. Then find out other areas where you are not doing very well and work on them and so on...
