Hello Everyone,
I have been lurking on this site for some time now trying to pick up tips for my upcoming battle with the GMAT. Well, I took the beast today and just got rocked in the quantitative section. My score breakdown is as follows:
Q31 - 33%
V38 - 85%
...for a 570.
I am beyond frustrated. I plan to take it again in a month. My scores from PowerPrep were:
640
650
670
.... and Kaplan:
500
540
580
650
700
My problems in the Verbal are solely SC. I don't usually miss any from the reading comprehesion or critical reasoning. I think that I can make great strides in SC by just focusing on the rules a little more.
The real issue is math. I just plain suck. I am not sure how to study for it and what to do to increase my score. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.
Materials used to prepare:
Kaplan GMAT 2006 Edition
Manhattan GMAT series (all 7 books)
OG 10th Edition
OG 11th Edition
PowerPrep Software
If there is anything that I am missing in terms of "essential" study aids please let me know.
Thank you in advance.

Hi tkkoh,
Thanks for replying. To answer your question I studied for approximately 2 months. However, I'm in law school so I'm not sure what sort of effect my schooling has had in my prep.
I suck in certain areas of math specifically percents, inequalities and word problems, i.e., translating them into algebraic expressions. I haven't taken a math course since 1998.
I plan to retake the GMAT in a month in order to meet the 2nd round deadlines. Any advice for a course of study would be greatly appreciated.
