Hello dear friends,
It all started somewhere around Dec' 5th, 2019. I started my GMAT journey with one of the tutors near my locality. Before I talk about the main reason for writing this post to seek help. Let me give you all a small introduction about myself.
I am a commerce graduate. I did my graduation around 13 years ago. I haven't been able to stay in touch with studies ever since. I am a working person. I have had a couple of businesses during this time. Since, my post grad was due for so long, I decided to take GMAT and fulfill my dream. Hence, started my GMAT coaching with the tutor.
Past one - one and half months have been tough. Really tough. I spent hours to catch up and learn all the forgotten concepts old and new. Sometimes even sat for 8 hours a day to gain back some knowledge. After around 20 days, I felt lost due to lack of planing and systematic road map and approach. So I decided to read from the internet all the possible experiences and stories related to planning and succeeding in GMAT. I got hold of some techniques like POMORADO and spaced repetition. It helped me gain my momentum as I was able to track my progress. I started learning and implementing my knowledge by doing various drills on various topics. Things started to fall in place as I was able to attend most of the questions with proper understanding unlike earlier. I was able to comprehend the questions, though sometimes rather most of the times could not come up with the correct answer. However, I was at least able to understand the language GMAT uses. Sometimes I did a lot of things at a time and sometimes took up as little as possible so as to digest the subject correctly.
Some 4 days ago. I was enrolled to The Princeton Review plan by my tutor. This changed everything. I started taking up the coursework in their study plan and started doing the drills. Here I get the shock of my life. Suddenly I feel I do not know a single thing! I did really bad in the topic wise drills. My accuracy was not more than 60%. I lost faith. Lost my confidence and got extremely panicked.
As the last resort. I choose to write this up before I burst out and loose the remaining hope. I am sure I am not the first person to have experienced such a fear. I literally fear to attempt any question with the pre-notion that I will not be able to solve it. May be the confidence have hit it's lowest.
Please guide me and help me figure out what exactly do I need to do about learning and performing good at my GMAT. Keeping by back ground in mind please suggest how can I ace this. This is my last chance to fulfill my dream and I do not want to loose it at any cost. I know nothing is impossible. I just want to know the possible ways if at all I am missing any.
Expecting a quick and supportive response on this post.
Regards,
Ankit Singh

Hey Ankit,
Glad you reached to this community. I am commerce student without math background, hence I can understand your pain. Since it's your dream I believe you are not going to let it go. And you have to work smart as well as hard.
Everything is possible, just focus on the fundamentals stay away from negative people. For quant I will recommend TTP

Try out some work longs and track your progress everyday.
By tracking i mean literally writing down every day what you are doing. Focus on weak areas but suggest find out areas where you are a pro.
Keep a date in mind and a set a deadline for yourself
