Hi Guys,
I’m joined the club a day after I bombed my 1st attempt.
Looking for prep courses, trying to search the best one for my needs. My plan is to reattempt the test within the next 4 months.

How far were you from your goal? And what about your practice tests? We’re they consistent with your gmat?

and sorry about the bombed attempt.

I had a 60 pt improvement wrt my practice tests but I fell short of 250 points ( not kidding ). I was so scared that I didn’t even look at my sectional marks and just hit on cancel.

I was studying by scavenging resources and buying a lot of books. Probably that was one of the reason why my focus was not in place.

But you took a practice test before you took the gmat to measure your performance?

Looking at the real test, I know that things won’t be the same next time. :)

Yes... I did take a practice test.

And you scored high and decided that you were ready for the GMAT and then you scored surprisingly low on the test?

Or you scored low and you decided to still take the GMAT?

Which one is it?

Because if you scored higher the practice test, you may not need to do a lot of studying. Could be just a bad day.

No no.. My GMAT scores were higher by 60 pts.

But that wasn’t enough. :)

I decided to take the actual one even after the low scores on practice was mostly to shake off the anxiety that was hanging on about the actual test.

Hm… ok. So it sounds like you need improvement and it was not just a bad day. One elements to consider is that improving by more than 200 points or 250 points is unbelievably hard. It requires a lot of effort, a lot of focus, and a lot of changes to how you study and how are you absorb the information. On GMAT Club, less than 0.1% of people have improved by more than 220 points. That means you will have to study better and be the best student out of 10,000 others

I just wanted to tell you this before you undertake another journey so that you’re aware of the effort required and you don’t waste your time and money… this cannot be casual. If you want to improve that much, you have to restructure your day schedule, give up certain things, spend all your time reading fiction books to improve your verbal and spend the other time memorizing math shortcuts and constantly be on the lookout for critical reasoning arguments everywhere you read

Buying a course is not going to approve the score. Everyone buys the same courses but people have different improvement and the level of improvement depends on you

https://gmatclub.com/marketplace/ if I have not scared you and hopefully I have not and only inspired, you can check some courses over here

All of them have free trials. Pick one that you like best based on the free trial experience. Shouldn’t take more than a couple hours to figure out which course inspires you and motivate you to study.

Yes that’s true. I’ve learnt that improving habits and restructuring plays a huge role in this race. It’s okay, it more to learn and I’m up for challenge. I am all in to try my best and see where the land is.

The tips for verbal and CR are very helpful

A lot of it is about maintaining focus and not getting distracted with Instagram or TV or other time sucking activities because you only have a couple of good hours during each day when you can absorb a lot of information but the rest of the time is not very suitable for productive learning

So I would recommend that you study in the morning before work while your mind is clear and you review Yesterdays notes and material to refresh it every morning

I was going for a split approach such as multiple hours in the morning and then late evening. Will be modifying my structure a bit.

Thank you for the help :)

Hi All... I have a question...

What does score valid for 5 years mean? Can I apply to different schools for 5 years?

For example... Say I apply for school 1 this year and get rejected...can I apply for school 2 next year with same score?
Show more

Yes you can! If just means that your GMAT score will expire in 5 years.

I agree about #1. The second title is a bit repetitive. Awesome job by the way!
