Sat the test in November, want to retake it. Scheduled for May this year.

Struggling to start again. Had the plan before. Executed it. Thinking just doing CATs this time around and analyzing. Any advice? Also, motivational tips and mind tricks are welcome.

Not an expert though ... but my 2 cents ... start with your current score and then build up to your target score. Understand your weakness after purchasing the ESR. You may start with the concepts , move on to practice sessions , and then do mocks. In case you are willing to make an investment; you may consider tutor too.

All the best :)

Hi clarkie,

Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long did you study before taking the GMAT for the first time?
2) What study materials have you used?
3) How did you score on that initial GMAT (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
4) What studying have you done since you took the GMAT in November?

Goals:
5) What is your goal score?
6) What is your exact Test Date to retake the GMAT?
7) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
8) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich
