Hi
I started my preparation almost 2.5 months ago. I have been studying Manhattan, OG and Veritas prep. I specially focused on OG and Manhattan. I completed both the books and now I am studying Manhattan Advanced Quant. It has been 10 days since i took GMAT prep Practice test 1 and scored 620. On my test there were some questions which i studied earlier from different sources, my be from documents floating over the internet. My quant socore was 47 and verbal score was 29. BUT, it is awfully frustrating that i scored only 590 ( quant 48, verbal 23) in my second GMAT Prep practice test 2, which I took just few hours ago. I am very much shocked to see my score decreasing. I am planning to take the GMAT in the next month and my target is just around 670. I am loosing my confidence day by day, and GMAT is getting intimidating as i dont see any hope. My verbal score is fluctuating and hovering around 25-32 ( according to 800 score verbal). I dont know what to do now. Need to increase my verbal up to at least 38.
I want to apply for MFin in a good US university which presumably doesn't require me to break 700 barrier, though it is a plus if i score 700+.
I targeted 700 initially but know i think it is quite impossible within a month to increase 600 to 700. Please suggest any way out!!

Hi kamalahmmad,
Reaching your target score is possible, don't loose hope. Based on your practice test, your level should be around 600 and you need to gather extra 70 points to reach your target score. Your quant scores are good and you need to focus more on verbal. The study material that you are using is sufficient, but are you practicing enough on verbal. Analyze the verbal part of your practice tests and figure out which questions/ topics gave you a hard time. Then study those concepts again and do specific questions in that area and understand why each answer choice is correct/ incorrect. You can find a lot of topic specific questions in the forums of GMATClub. I suggest that you study for the next 10 days and then take your next practice test. Your goal should be to increase your score to at least 640 in your next test, with an improvement of 4+ points in verbal. Do keep track of your mistakes in the questions and maintain an error log so that you can review these question later on. Moreover, during the last two weeks of your prep try to re-do the GMATPrep tests, this will build your comfort level with the online testing platform and help you in pacing during the test; furthermore, you might find some interesting new questions. All the best !!
Hope this helps,
Vercules

Hi Vercules,
Thank you very much! your advice gives me comfort in this situation. I will try to follow your advice and get engrossed completely in studying GMAT for the next 30 days. As I targeted only 670, is this score enough to get into any Masters programs(Finance, Economics, inernational business) in a good university in USA?. I completed my BBA(major in Marketing) from University of Dhaka(though leading University in Bangladesh). My Undergrad CGPA is 3.70, and I have 10 months job experience in Merchandising field as Management Trainee, and 3 months in a bank as a Management trainee. My goal is to be a teacher/researcher or consultant which will require me to have good Masters degree from a University in USA. Is it possible for me to get a scholarship in any Masters program (not MBA)? as MBA usually costs a lot and requires 3+ years job experience as far as I know.
Thanks
