Hello GMAT club,
I would like to know if someone can help me out with my GMAT. Here is my journey
I started the GMAT study in August 2019. I studied 2 months and then my father died. That was really depressing for me . It was difficult to navigate through my emotions and to keep up in my challenging work environment . I dropped the GMAT.
In september 2020, I restarted my GMAT study and my real GMAT test is on January 9th. But I am not at all at my target level. Here are my scores:
GMAT Exam1 : september 05/2020 - 600 ( Verb37 Quant 36): Quant : 13 incorrects and 4 not answered . Verb : 10 incorrects and one not answered
GMAT Exam 2: october 31/2020 - 640 ( Quant 46 - Verb 32 )
GMAT Exam 2 retake ( Only 3 questions repeated) : november 28/2020 - 690 ( Quant 44, Verbal 41): Quant : 10 questions incorrects and 1 not answered. Verbal 8 questions incorrects
GMAT exam 3 : December 12,2020 - 610 ( Quant 42 , Verb 33): Quant 15 questions incorrects and 1 question not answered, Verb 15 questions incorrects
GMAT exam 4: December 24,2020 - 680 (Quant 49, Verb 34): Quant 6 incorrects and 1 question not answered , Verb 13 incorrects.
GMAT exam 5 : December 29,2020 - 540 (Quant 37, Verbal 27): Quant 12 incorrect and 1 question not answered, Verb 16 incorrects and 1 question not answered
GMAT exam 6 : Decemner 31,2020 - 590 ( Quant 36, Verb 35): Quant 12 incorrects, Verb 10 incorrects
For exam 1 et 2 , I chose Quant first and Verbal second. For exam 3 and 4 , I chose to answer to verbal first and quant second.
My goal : I would like to be adimitted to oxford ( or cambridge) and to pursuit with the Master in advanced management at yale. My graduate GPA , my work experiences, my recommendations are stellars.The only thing I need is a high score for the GMAT I was targeting 710.
After my GMAT exam 4, for which I received a score of 680, I decided to sit for the GMAT on December 09 and to try my best to get at least 680-690 and then to focus on my weakness areas for 3 months in order to sit for a retake in March 2020.
However, after the scores of GMAT 5 and GMAT 6, I am desperate. The worst thing is , after each GMAT, I review each question and I always find the answer. For example for 13 erros , 10 are du to silly math mistakes or I didn't read the question . Only two or Three questions are really difficults for me and they are all in my weakest areas ( cube, cylindre, probability, combinatories).
It looks like the more I exerciced, The worst I get. That is obsiouly weird. Can someone helps me please. Does anybody can share with me any strategy or any tips ? Should I take a GMAT tutors ? There are so many GMAT tutors, I don't even know how to choose. Does anyone can recommend me someone ?
Thank you
