Makes me feel even worse that some are complaining about getting low 700s. I got a 510. The worst part about it is that I actually did better in verbal. For a person who had no problems getting As in all of his math classes throughout high school and college, I find it a bit disconcerting that I couldn't get a better score. This puts a real damper on any plans that I had on going back to school in January.
I think what did me in was concentrating so much on probability and combinations in the past month that I wasn't really prepared for the test. I was just lost sometimes on seemingly easy questions.
So now I'm giving myself one more month to take the test again. But I'm at loss as to what I should do about improving my math score. I have read the books below...
Kaplan 800
Kaplan 2003
Kaplan Math
Kaplan Verbal
OGCrack-GMAT
Powerprep
Not sure where to go from here. Should I consider picking up the paper tests? I've been reluctant on doing so as having answers without explanations is just not very helpful.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
I would certainly recommend retaking even if you are feeling you did what you could do - anybody can do better than that, esp since you have 700 as you prelim results even though different tests.
I took mine a whole while ago, and my recs are not as helpful as from the guys who just scored great, but discouragement is not helpful and dumping all the time and money you invested into this is not reasonable either. You have to make the statistics work and get a 680!
