Hi sidharth7510.

Did you prepare at all before that first practice test? If not, then your real baseline score is likely somewhat higher than 280, because you would not even have been familiar with the question types when taking that first practice test, and thus, your having to figure out how even to answer the questions would have been a factor in your performance.

Regarding quant, the truth is that many people start off weak in GMAT quant and then find that increasing their quant scores is a matter of taking one step at a time and working topic by topic until they hit their quant score goals. In other words, GMAT quant is eminently learnable.

For some inspiration, you could check out this debrief written by a GMAT test-taker who worked her way from 250 on her first GMAT to 780 on her last.

So here's my story - Male Non engineer, Have an experience in sales of 2 years, Quit my job suddenly because it was very monotonus and secondly i always had a passion for marketing but didn't get any scope in companies because mostly corporates don't hire BBA grads in marketing sector, I want to give Gmat and get into a top college which specialises in marketing, but the sad part is I suck big time in quants (just pass marks in board exams), and just to check where I stand gave a mock today and scored 280( Q-19,V-12) which literally broke me into pieces, This is my only attempt this year as I already have a gap year so can't take any more.

Please guide me about how I should proceed from now. Neither my profile is good nor scores.

Any help would be much appreciated thank you.
. Trust me when I say that this Target test prep is the best course you can find avaiable online.Their site and plane are truly amazing, with many REAL questions to practice daily. The course methodology was the key to improve my study and truly understanding what type of questions I was going to be asked. Also the way it is designed it helps you customise your tests and find your weak and strong areas.I would recommend it as a must resource for anyone aiming for an high score in GMAT!!!
A truly enjoyable learning process!!
