Hi,
I started to prepare my GMAT from September. I started with a very low score in practice exams but that did not stop me. I went over so many books and I have practiced a lot of questions from different kinds of material.
Materials I covered:
- OG 12
- Manhattan Sentence correction Guide
- Power Score Bible CR
- Kaplan Guide
- OG verbal book
- OG quant book
The tests I have done over past few weeks
- Kaplan 9 CATS exam averaged 620
- Manhattan GMAT 5 CATS averaged 610
- Real GMAT software averaged 630
After all of this work that covered a span of nearly 7 months, I have not achieved the score I wanted to at least go to any uni. I feel so terrible because i spent so much time, yet scored so little. I need all the help I can get. Please advise me what to do in my case ?
Thanks

Did you use an error log?
What are your scores for the respective sections?
Which Kaplan guide are you referring to?
I'm sorry to hear that, but your variation in scores is huge! Could it be test day stress/worries that affected you? I'm certain you will get much much higher score the next time.
Maybe you can try Total GMAT+challenge math sets, and Aristotle full sets RC&SC materials(only $30 bought together). These are great materials.
Chill. Relax and carefully plan for your comeback
Good luck.

Yup I have, but once u go over it again and again, the solution will somewhat trigger since u have done before.

Kaplan Book - the guide book for the GMAT.
For quant
I guess my mistake was I went to the next question if I did not know how to solve the current question at hand. Or I thought it was difficult while it might have been easy to solve and maybe I went over that threshold of going to the next question too quickly. I was worried that I would run out of time like in my practice tests where i ensured to myself I should answer all questions.
For verbal
I guess things did not click. I usually get a feel that my answer is right when answering, but that did not stop me from answering all the questions in the exam day. I atempted to answer all questions but it is still a disaster. I am slow reader when it comes to verbal. So reading comprehension is my worst. CR and SC are 60 per cent on average. On Sc, I sometime get higher than 80 per cent.
