Hi Team,
I decided to take gmat on dec 14 2011 and i started y preparation no august 25th.
First went thru all basic from princeton review,and manhattan to brush up my English and math knowledge.As i am an engineering gradutate i have had no problem in math but found little difficult in English as all Indians.Though i found i tough it was not as tough as i went thru the journey of preparing my gmat.
October i started giving tests so that i can know myself were i actually stand.
1Gmat (practise test)- 680
Not bad than i expected to be.
Later i went thru many questions from forum called forum Grockit. i took almost 10 practise tests by the month of november and i scored in the range of 690-720.
GMat prep test-700,680 (include 2 tests)
Gmat power prep- 700,710(include 2 tests).
Kaplan Free test-680.
Princeton Review-700.
On the day of gmat i found many questions to be simple and each question i moved on was easier than the previous,i was scared that i am not getting tough once so i redid each question atleast 5 times , my answers were correct according to me. i had no doubt in my answering still i got easy question.
Though verbal was difficult i felt that i was doing ok with it but didn t have much of satisfaction
at the end of my exam though i was not expecting a 700+ i wanted to see atleast a 600 + according to my knowledge of writting,but i was shocked to see my score was 360....heart broken i dont know wat to do nxt...in the bad mind also i got my hand fractured that evening...with the injury i am trying to write my gmat this feb..anf i believe in GMat club now...
Wat i have to do next how should i prepare to score high???
Please anyone help me with this, i really need your support....

Sounds to me like you had a bad day... This happens sometimes. You may have come across some questions you REALLY thought you got right, but didn't see the trick. If you miss the first 4 or 5 questions in each section, you'd be in the easy bucket of questions before you even knew it! I would recommend restudying, refreshing, and learning to double check questions and what type of mistakes to look for.
It sounds like you are capable of scoring a 700+ (if all the practice tests you took were timed with AWA and the first time you took them).
Also, be honest, and try to think of ANYTHING that could have caused you to do so poorly on test day. Did you retake practice tests? Did you drink coffee when normally you don't? Were you nervous? Did you sleep Poorly? Did you not study as hard as you though? Did you take practice tests multiple times? Did you study old material? Litterally it could be anything, but YOU are the only person that can be honest with yourself and try to figure it out. We are here to help, but it sounds like you are doing the right things. I would recommend a retake, with ample studying (new material), and also considering this post: 10-tips-to-improve-your-score-app-with-no-extra-studying-124393.html during the rest of your studying.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out!

Hi GMATLA,
Thanks for your concern and for the 10 tips ...
As far as i know, i was rushing towards the end to finish my verbal, i had only 5 mins and ten questions left so inthe thought that i have done well before i did the most best educated guess so i admit i was not in full fledged mind towards the end of verbal.Also in quans i was redoing the first five question again and again in a thought that i shud not go wrong in first 5 and must go into bucket of tough questions...but it was my bad time or something went wrong which i am not able to figure..
But i still have confidence in me ... i can do it kinda thought...i retook practice test in Knewton SC, and GMAT club verbal still i found that in knweton sc set provided by GMAT club i got 21/21 question and score 92.9 percentile.However in verbal provided by GMAT club i got three wrong answers...
Can you tell me what kind of book i need to follow now..
I thought of doing only OG 10,11,12 for rest of the month and take as many practice tests as possible..
I scheduled like this morning go through all the concepts and questions from OG 10 11 or 12 then in the evening write test in each section to see in which section am i not performing well...
is this a better way??
I am really really thank full for your reply post..Thanks a lot.

GMAT is a microcosm of actual MBA life and the difficult professional life post MBA - it tests how well we can manage time and stress and come out with flying colors. I think this timid and scared approach of yours won't help you one bit - you need to dust yourself off, take the GMAT head on and face it. And please, please think logically - missing 2 out of 10 questions cannot lead to a bad score - but having a muddled and confused and scared mind does. I can be a good samaritan and say that everything will be okay. But I think it's better if I don't do that and really ask of you to stop feeling self pity, self doubt and go ahead and take the mock tests fearlessly. If you continue with your current frame of mind, it might impact your next GMAT as well.
