Hi, I recently discovered the GMAT club and decided to join this club. I saw a lot of really great posts from other members and wanted to share my experience. So today, I had my 1st attempt at the GMAT, and honestly, I was so upset that I couldn't speak for a while after I saw my score. I studied for 3-4 weeks, although I know that is not nearly enough, but I still did not expect my score to be so low. I scored a 400... I'm so ashamed, and I couldn't even bring myself to tell my parents what I scored. I was hoping maybe some of you can offer me some advice that will help me score higher than a 650 on the next exam. I know it's a big jump, but that is my true score goal. Thanks so much everyone
Some details on my study habits include:
-
GMAT Official Guide from 2007 (I was told outdated is still ok .. Am I wrong?)
- GMAT Prep that came with GMAT registration
- Online practice test from Veritas (My score on the practice test was higher than my actual
)
Thanks for your advice everyone! I appreciate any help!
Hi, Welcome to the community.
To start for your preparation again, get yourself familiar with basics of quant and verbal.
For quants, to get your basics cleared you can refer the book :
https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmat-math-boo ... 30609.htmlFor verbal, get your basics cleared from any online course (I took
e-gmat which I felt it was good but certainly not comprehensive enough). Practice as much as you can.
Try to improve your thought process as you learn and practice. You can take
MGMAT Practice test subscription to get yourself familiar.
