Hi everyone,
I took a GMAT course 2 years ago but I was so disappointed by my test taking abilities so I decided not to take the exam at all and just apply for programmes that do not require it. However, last month I had to take the GMAT as it was required for one of the programmes that I am applying for. I had a month and a half for preparation but I was also busy with life and work so I didn't really get to the point where I understand the logic behind the exam. At the same time I have been struggling with my concentration. I cannot stay focused for 4 hours straight.
i was reading the posts in this blog but I didn't seem to find the exact solution for my situation. If I approach the GMAT as a problem that I am currently experiencing, there should be a solution out there as every problem has a solution.
I have always performed very poorly on standardised tests and from the impression that I've got reading the posts over here there are people that just perform very well on tests like GMAT.
My score report is the following:
Verbal 22/ 30%
Quantitative 27/ 16%
Analytical Writing 5.0 / 60
Integrated Reasoning 3 / 25%
------------------------------
430
I understand that I am missing some of the main concepts and that I would need to practice every day to perform better. I would really appreciate if you can provide me with an advise or some practical tips on how to improve my score.
Thank you for your help.

Hi lady_bg,
Many Test Takers find the GMAT to be quite a challenge, so you're not alone. Before I offer any specific suggestions, I'd like to know a bit more about your situation and goals:
1) Do you have a score goal in mind?
2) Does the School that you're interested in post information about the Average GMAT scores of its students?
3) When is the application deadline for this School?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hi Rich,
1) Do you have a score goal in mind? 650+
2) Does the School that you're interested in post information about the Average GMAT scores of its students? They don't
3) When is the application deadline for this School? The application has already passed as that was the reason why I took the GMAT without the required preparation. I am planning on re-taking the GMAT in the end of July or sometime in August as I will have the time to study during that time.
