Hello Jillilynn,
Don’t give up. You can surely do better.
To assist you better, we would request you to write back with the following questions:
1. What are your current score and target score? (You can mention Diagnostic test score too)
2. How do you rate yourself in Quant and Verbal?
In a generalized way, to crack GMAT, you need a disciplined study plan, command on basic concepts, exposure to agile approaches, reliable resources, updated comprehensive material and mock tests, and an expert with whom you will be connected throughout your preparations.
Many test aspirants are unhappy with their initial practice test scores. We have observed that this is due to either lack of a detailed study plan or some unreliable resources.
We have also observed that the test takers are not aware of the GMAT pattern, which is indeed a must to know before the start of the preparation. Raising the score by 150 to 200 pointers is not tricky, but at the same time, it is not easy too.
A couple of things that can be a noticeable barrier to your scores would be some or all of the below.
• Lack of basic math skills
• Not detailed knowledge of GMAT Math pattern and Question types
• Inefficiency by using time-consuming Conventional method to tackle DS and PS questions still
• No expert support (maybe) who can tutor, analyze, and guide you during your learning
• Lack of many updated questions and practice in the recent exam trend
• Not well aligned with time to solve questions.
Also, make a note of various possible combinations to achieve your target score. The possible scores will help you track your performance after taking the mock or practice test. It will also help you maintain balance in both the sections, and you will always be in a great position to allot the study hours to a specific area accordingly.
We also want to understand how old your diagnostic score is. If it has passed at least two weeks, then as a GMAT instructor, I will first recommend taking our Free diagnostic test
https://www.mathrevolution.com/diagnostic/dtExamMember and receiving a comprehensive study guide by topic. This test will clearly help you understand your weak areas.
Start with the learning of the concepts. Make detailed notes so that you can revise it 3 days before your official GMAT test. The most important for you will be learning and commanding the Variable Approach for DS questions and IVY Approach for PS questions. These approaches are the robust self-designed time-saving techniques that will help you learn efficiently, thus raising your score in the quick nick of time.
Adding to the same, mastery of the Variable Approach to solve DS questions and the IVY approach to solve PS questions would add a feather to the cap. Below is the useful link we will recommend you to visit on GMAT club to experience the power of DS and IVY approaches.
