Hello all,
I'm really frustrated after taking my 4th practice test today. I've been preparing for the last 6 months and thought have covered the basics well. But I am consistently scoring in the 400s and 500s. Cant seem to progress any further. Is scoring high impossible for people like me ? Have been ignoring family and social life for the last few weeks. I feel that its all worthless, 'cos I dont see any improvement. Scores have been 30-35 in Quant and 23-29 in Verbal. When I see a score lower than my diagnostic test after months of preparation it is devastating. Wonder if its worth investing any more time on this.
I'm using MGMAT materials, OG 12 and Gmat club / btgmat mainly for my prep, and supplementing with other materials for some basic stuff and for strategies.
Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Don't get discouraged! Maybe you're not absorbing the core concepts of what the books have to offer. Sometimes when you study by yourself, it's easy to think you know something while actually being completely wrong. So take it one step at a time. Do the MGMAT Guides thoroughly. Especially the SC one, since it's really good. Then do Powerscore CR if you can get your hands on it. As for Quant, the number properties book is really good. Try to do the GMAT Club problems from the forums as much as you can. The key is to practice. For efficient study routines, take a look at the threads on the GMAT Forum. Hope this helps!
