Hello,
I’ve been studying for the gmat on and off for about a year now. I buckled down and really started to study march- July. I took the gmat and scored 430. How is this possible ?
I’ve taken one Manhattan free practice test and scored a 600. I’ve taken several Veritas prep exams and scored between 540-590. The official gmat practice exams I’ve scored 470 and 500. I even got a tutor for two months. I’m thinking maybe my issue is I’m just learning how to do problems I’ve gotten wrong in the past, but maybe I’m not exactly mastering the skills (algebra, geometry, etc). In other words, maybe I was just getting problems right based off memory, and seeing the type of problem before.
I’m considering switching to the gre, but I’m not sure if I want to give up on the gmat yet. Any suggestions on how to revamp my study plan? I feel like I’m starting for scratch, but I want to take the exam again in three months.im considering Target test prep, but I am open to other options too. I’m weak in both verbal and quant.
Thanks:

Hi,
First of all dont get disheartened. Its fine. Sometimes things don't turn out the way we thought it to be. But dont lose hope.
Coming to the preparation part, since you have already done everything and still the scores haven't increased. I feel there might be some conceptual error, hence when you remember the answers you mark them right.
But you can still try taking a mock which you haven't taken before and see what you score. If you don't score your target score then it might be good for you to maybe try some renowned tutor for Gmat. You can also try contacting your previous teacher back and take suggestions from him or her.
There are ample other resources like Manhattan which can help you in concept building.
Basically, whatever you do, don't give up. Figure out other ways and you will surely have a great score next time.
Best of luck! Its just a matter of time!

94Maverick - Welcome to GMAT Club!
I would highly recommend that you enroll in a structured online course rather use materials and free tutorial videos available online. At a 430 level, you still have to study a lot of new concepts and build a strong strategy to tackle each question type. That said, I would recommend that you start with the basics. Please review the GMAT Club study plan. All the best.
