Hello,
I've been having a hard time for months to be focused on trying to fully study for the GMAT test. I did pretty poorly (as I expected after not being in school for a good bit) with a 330 (5th percentile) total score and Quantitative (5th percentile) and Verbal (17th percentile) both being 17 and IR being 1 (0 percentile). I've bought the Manhattan Foundations books for Verbal and Math since it has been a good while since I have been in school. I got my books back in September but I've been stuck on the math one for two months now which I feel so disjointed like I get the material but can never fully grasp it. I haven't even gotten started on the real study for the test let alone the verbal foundations. I've been doing a lot of self study but as time goes on and the more I try to study I start to feel like I will benefit more from group study or (if I had the money) a prep course that will actually keep me on track than just me being at work staring at one problem all day.I feel so disappointed in myself for not being where I wanted to be with this studying and being able to take the test. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions that can get me to focus and follow a good study plan that I can adhere to so I won't feel like I'm wasting my time.
Thanks!

Hello
Don’t lose heart, happens to best of us! Problem is GMAT is a psychometric test and not really a quant or verbal test. You have to learn the strategies and practice. There are no short cuts.
