I did not get my life back
I scored lower than what had scored 1st time. I scored miserably on both the sections this time. My score is 500(Q44,V16!) While doing the verbal section I was confident that I am doing good but do not what happen
I really cried last day. I do not think GMAT is for me. My earlier score was 540 (Q48, V17).
Please reply following questions..
Should I apply with this score?
Should I leave the dream to do MBA?
Which college I can get with 540? I have good personal story and good record of extra-activities. I want to apply in Europe, Aus, Canada or USA. Please suggest some colleges.
Thank you johnnyGMAT2k10 for guiding throughout my preparation. But sorry, I disappointed you.
Hey man, so sorry to hear about your test experience, i know how frustrated you must feel. You worked extremely hard and have nothing to be ashamed of. It may have been a case of test day jitters, happens to the best of them
I think you should definitely give it one more shot. Your prep scores leading up to the test were well above your score so it isnt a question of whether you are capable because you certainly are, it just comes down to execution on G-day. You have what it takes!!! Dont give up on your dream!!!! If its possible, would you be able to take a review course? whether Manhattan or Knewton, it may be structured study that helps you get over the hump. Also what environment were you taking your tests in? Creating an environment as similar to that of a testing center could be a key to improving your test day performance. Also are you using the pad and marker? All of these methods could help you perform up to your capability.
If you are planning to apply for Fall 2012 i say you should definitely take it again since you would have time before deadlines. Dont let this discourage you! Look at it as a setback, and all a setback is, is a setup for a comeback. You can do it, just keep at it!! You have nothing to lose in trying, just keep fighting and youll get over the hump. Keep working, keep studying, keep posting on the board as there are dozens of people here who can help and offer words of advice. You can find a nuber of people on this board who overcame lower scores and retook and came out on top. Dont give up
