mimundertaker - I hear your frustration, and I want you to know that what you're feeling right now is completely normal. Two months feels like forever when you're putting in the work and not seeing the results you want. But here's what I've learned from watching countless test-takers:
every GMAT success story has this chapter – the one where you feel stuck, exhausted, and ready to give up.
Here's the truth: dreams take hard work, and
progress on the GMAT is rarely linear. You might study for weeks and see a 20-point jump, then plateau for a month, then suddenly break through. The test isn't just measuring what you know – it's measuring how you think under pressure, and rewiring that takes time.
But here's the other truth: not all study hours are equal. Sometimes we're working incredibly hard but not working strategically. And that's where the breakthrough often lies.
So let me ask you: How have you been preparing these past 2+ months?
- What resources are you using?
- When you review wrong answers, what does that process look like?
- Have you identified your specific weak areas, or does it feel like "everything"?
The fact that you're still here, still fighting, tells me you may have what it takes. You're not sick and tired of the goal – you're sick and tired of the current approach.
And that's fixable. Let's figure out what needs to shift.
You've got this. 💪
