Dear AhmedMera,
I am sorry to see that you could not score high on the GMAT despite preparing really hard. GMAT is just a test. If you put in your efforts in the right direction, you will succeed. GMAT is similar to one of the many challenges that you will face in your post MBA life. If you are dedicated and have the right strategy, then you will succeed.
I see that you have followed "
book heavy" study approach due to which you haven’t been able to develop your own strategy to approach/answer questions specially in the Verbal part.
To make a big improvement, you'll have to change your tactics and adopt a different strategy to prepare for the exam.
Consider the following points while preparing for the test.
· Have a strategy that is based on core understanding of the concepts ad application of the same to solve questions.
· A strategy that is based on shortcuts, smart work, back solving, guess work etc doesn’t work in the actual test.
· Focus on one subject / section at a time and ensure that you improve in that section as per your desire score and then move on to the next section.
· Don’t study from multiple resources. Focus on improving your core skills first. Once you have done that then you may attempt questions from different resources.
· Study from the resource which gives you real-time feedback.
How to get to 650+?Given your scores, you need to improve in both the Quant and the Verbal sections. To check how much you need to improve in the Quant/Verbal section, please go through the
GMAT Planner tool.
Also, go through the
GMAT Strategy webinar to see “ How you can get to your target score of 650+”.
Hope this helps. I look forward to your response.
