Hi all,

I have given the exam on November 6th 2015 and got 350 score.. I did cancel it because I knew it wasn't worth anything.. I found so many facts which led to that score..
1) lack of preparation.i barely study last month as I was so nervous everything I read. I didn't touch RC , barely touch geometry and co-ordinate and stats ..
2) I was fricking nervous in the exam like I barely read anything in exam.
3) I was miserable all the prep time of gmat What to do , how to do it and all.as I took coaching from jamboree but while taking the classes I was trying to figure out what are all the topics in math and verbal.

NOW, I WANNA PROPER ADVICE BECAUSE I KNOW I CAN DO IT..I will retake my exam in December second week. If anybody has any advice please suggest me..
And I will take quant classes from some another place as I weak in quant.
I am waiting for the advice guys.

Yeah! Because of having less time for application ..all business schools round 2 is in Jan first week.. So need to prepare for application as well.

Seriously, I didn't use my ability ..so, the score above is not justify my ability.. I know, now I will give my best to it and will get around more than 600..

Hi Nikkij,

Since it sounds like this 350 score is the only one that you have, we have to use that as a basis for comparison. While I'm sure that you can score higher, it's going to take some significant time and effort on your part to raise that score to a 600+. With an Exam in the second week of December, you likely do NOT have enough time to train properly and get all of the necessary work done, so you might have to adjust your plans a bit.

I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) What practice materials have you used?
3) Do you know which Schools you plan to apply to?

Okey! my target score is 650+.. In first attempt I read OG15 .. for CR, SC AND P.S ..I LEFT DS AND RC .. I know I should not give the exam.. I have OG 16-15 and jamboree material ..I am also trying to arrange OG 11-12-14 ...
My target school is Boston university ..

My plan is to complete ALL OG in verbal and take prep test of jamboree.and going to start quant coaching because I am not aware of DS pattern .. I found that I haven't study much.. That's the only reason.. Now, my aim is to 100% effort in right direction..

I wanna postpone the exam but need at least 20 days for application..
