I need help.

I am close to giving up on my GMAT journey and I truly don’t want to. I am not sure that my current plan is working and I am not feeling confident on my ability to take this exam late August.

Let me provide some background:

I started studying for the GMAT in late January/early February by taking the Princeton Review course, unfortunately throughout the course I wasn’t able to truly focus, and I didn’t feel like I was making true progress towards improvements. I did the homework and practice here and there. My practice exam scores ranged from a 505-605.

I took an official exam on May 30 and scored a 535. My target score is in 700s+ on the focus edition.

I started studying again late June, and have been prepping for the last three weeks and I took an offical practice exam last week and scored a 495.

I have read several threads and watched videos on how to improve my score, but I honestly feel like I am drowning in information overload and I don’t know what to do next. Each study session feels like I am wasting time and taking “shortcuts” that will result in more time spent.

I don’t know whether to get to TTP, to take another course, or how to optimize my time. I just need to get on a track, any track at this point. I commit at least 3 hours a day, but they don’t feel purposeful.

I TRULY believe I am capable of doing well, but all of these pivots are causing me to feel extremely unprepared, anxious, and inequipped.

The practice questions on GMAT club have proved to feel entirely different from my Princeton review course and the ones I feel like I’ve seen on the GMAT. It is resulting in errors, and identifying several different foundational areas that I am not sure lead to the exam as I believe I am picking form the universe of question banks.

I would appreciate direction and support on what I need to do to create a plan that I can believe in and start to see progress. I want to do better but it feels like everything I try isn’t working.
I think TTP is exactly what you need! Why don't you check out the trial and see what you think?
