Good luck! I am very curious how the second GMAT prep goes. Please do update the thread after you take it (and make sure you still take the AWA).

Well,...500
While in Kaplan CATs the last couple of weeks I was scoring 560-570-580- and finally 600.

I have a strange feeling that official GMAT test is right... I have done stupid mistakes, but it counts.
Let's hope my lucky star will shine tomorrow:)

My today's exam was a complete disaster. I would like to avoid details. Scored much below my Kaplan tests results..
Point now is to get together, study and kill this test in August. I know I can do it, I can do it, I can do it!
I decided to take this week off and reflect. Then I would do the strategy, I know I was doing all the right things BUT I was not doing things right...
I would like to turn to you for advice as soon as i formulate my case

Thanks once again for your support!

Well, I am very concerned about time. I do work full time and then I normally study after work 3 hours and full days on the weekend. let's hope it will be enough for me to make it happen in august.
This forum is a great resource and a community.So, I need to get into the active mode :) Thanks

Hello there! Hishka, I had the same problem as you did. I was not at all happy with my score (I took the test June 2) and I was very disappointed. My test score kept declining and my Kaplan teacher told me I was just nervous. Well it declined more on the actual test day. I plan to get the same book that was suggested to you and start over. Although I wanted to have my summer free from studying looks like the sacrifices that I will have make as a MBA student are starting early. Haha! Thanks for your sharing your story. It was a comfort and inspiration to me! Good luck in August. I'm right there with you!

Hallo LizB,

I am glad that you are in a positive and fighting mood. Way to go! And summer...well thousands splendid summer seasons are waiting ahead, believe me.
I have started my preparation today. Will work out new study plan. I was advised to start with Manhattan GMAT Number properties and Sentence correction book. Need to study these books once again. Sooner or later we gonna kill the GMAT, better sooner than later :) Stay in touch!
