Hi tatiana91,

First off, let’s look at the good news - you recently scored 680 on an official practice exam. 680 is a really nice score! Thus, you have no reason to be devastated. In fact, given that you’ve improved over 200 points, you should be very excited!

Looking at the score breakdown of your 680, it’s clear that in order to hit your 700+ goal score, you need to improve in quant. With that said, would you like some advice on how to improve your quant skills?

Hello everybody,
I really need some help for my GMAT study

My background
I am a french speaker student from french Africa. So My native tongue is French. I was born and Bread in Africa. I got my french bachelor with 3.5 ( which is pretty hight in french universities ). I completed my graduate studies in Canada finishing with 4.27 on 4.3. So basically I have lived studied and worked on 3 continents
Work experience :
1.5 years for a big four + 1 year as a merger and acquisition analyst for a rapidly growing company, + 1 year as an analyst at the central bank and now I am currently working at a consulting firm as a senior consultant Financial performance and strategy. It will be there for 2 years before applying in 2020

My Goal
I would like to go to LBS, Oxford, and Cambridge to do my MBA so I need to score a 700 for my GMAT

My struggle:
My first GMAT official test was 450 (Q27, V25) in June 2019: I was eating and watching movies when I took that, still I was crushed. So I studied For June to September including a long break because I was grieving my father (he passed away recently).
I restated studying and took the 2nd Gmat official prep test last week, my score was 680 (Q41, V42)
One week later, last Saturday, I took the Manhattan GMAT my score was 580 (Q37, V30) I was shocked. So I decided to take another Manhattan GMAT two days after, meaning today, and my score was 560 (Q37, V30). For the second manhattan GMAT, I rushed because I was run of time and I have to guess for the last 10 questions. It is getting worst and worst.
My exam is scheduled for December 14th, in 2 months.
I don't know what to do. I was always good at school. Right now, I start believing that people are right when they say Africans have some issues with the GMAT
Can somebody give me some strategies or refer me to any good tutor. I need some help, I am so devasted. :cry:
