Hey,

I recently took the GMAT test on Saturday and I did not score that well. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to study for this test? I used the attached document and downloaded the GMAT software to prepare for the test. In addition, I also took numerous practice tests. Please note that I plan to retake the test in a couple of months.

My first piece of advice is never look at that document again. It is a waste of your time. Honestly, I don't know who made it, but it will not teach you what you need to know to score well on this test. I would go through catagory 1 on the attached link, and read up as much as you can. You obviously don't know enough about this test, and need to learn the basics, and then create a plan. Once you have your plan, purchase the study material you will need, and spend months studying it while taking practice tests along the way. Honestly, you should completely forget about what you've learned, and the score you've rcvd and start from scratch. That will be the best way for you to improve.

The GMAT Club has EVERYTHING you need to know, so start browsing the site. Start at that link I provided and I promise you won't be disappointed

I agree with GMATLA . Start off with that link.

As a first step get the manhattan GMAT foundations books ( for both quant and verbal ) and then proceed to the manhattan GMAT set of 8 strategy guides .

You must also buy the GMAT 13th edition official guide, and the 2nd edition for the math and verbal sections. Use GMATPrep software and BUY the extra question bank too. Start focusing on the easier and the average difficulty questions because your score is below avg for both sections. After you start getting most of these right, ease into the harder ones.
