GMAT Inequalities is a high-frequency topic in GMAT Quant, but many students struggle because the concepts behave differently from standard algebra. Understanding the right rules, patterns, and edge cases can significantly improve both speed and accuracy.- May 06

Good afternoon everyone,
I recently took the GMAT and did very poorly (560).
I studied for around 4-5 months and used MGMAT ( full set) and the OG 12th edition.
Now although my mocks were not amazing by any means ( average of around a 630, highest ever being a 640), I cannot comprehend how i ended up doing so poorly on the exam. My average verbal score on all my CAT exams was a 33-34 and a for quant was a 43-44. I ended up getting a 35 in quant!
I definitely want to take the exam again, but i need some solid advice as to how i should go about studying for the exam!
any advice would be highly appreciated!
thank you,
Arthur

Hi Arthur,
Sorry to hear about the low score.
The same happened with me about a fortnite ago.
However, mine was a bigger disaster than your's.
I was scoring consistently above 700 in mocks but ended up with mere 480 on actaul GMAT.
So here is the deal.
The GMAT tests many things not just your knowledge of material.
Your attitude, test taking skills, approach and timings play a vital role.
In my case, negative attitude and nervousness were the major reasons.
I would suggest revise your basics and spend quality rather than quantity time on study.
Take ample practise mocks and spend double time analyzing the results.
Staying calm and confident are key factors.
In the end, it's just an exam.

Hi Arthur,
Sorry to hear that! If you were scoring much higher during your practice exams, then you obviously have the ability to score just as high during your real exam. Do you know what went wrong? When you took your practice exam, were you practicing in test-like conditions? Do you think you got nervous during the test? If you have a hint of what the problem is, we can help you fix the issue.
Good luck!
Regards,
Elizabeth
