Hey guys, did my first text online last week and did pretty awful (520). I took this to heart as I always considered myself a good student and would always get above an 80% in university. I am definitely feeling discouraged and embarrassed but I know that the path to gmat and masters completion isn't always easy.
In terms of prep I started with the OG book and some very half assed studying. I was working 50 hrs a week and was not doing the appropriate study methods or procedures. After this I felt like a needed some more explanation so I got magoosh because it was on sale and found the explanations helpful. However I feel like the main reason I am falling short is lack of structure. I felt at times I was randomly picking things to do and even though I knew the areas I had to work on I never felt as if I was truly getting better.
My question is what next? I still have lots of time to apply to the school I want so I'm not too stressed in that regard, I just really want to get this test done and out of the way! I was thinking I may get a tutor to talk to and see if I can formulate a study plan that I can stick to and get some structure to my studies. I am also considering buying Manhattan prep books as I hear they are great. I have decided that I may need to spend some money and get a program that will provide me with more direction and to do this the right way. Let me know what you guys think!
An additional question is how long do I need to wait in order to take the test again? I am aiming for something 600-650, and I know its obtainable.

Hi oleary709,
Since you are looking for few prep materials, in addition to seeking advice in this thread, take a look at the GMAT Club reviews for the best quant and verbal courses, and also read through some GMAT success stories to see what materials have worked well for other test-takers.

I huess my biggest question is what would you recommend I do now. I'm not really sure where to start because I feel like I've gone over a decent amount of material before my exam.
