At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Hey guys,
A couple of months back I decided I wanted to go to B-school. I registered for the GMAT a week or so after that and picked September 22nd, 2011 as the test date. Depending on what I have planned, Fall 2012 would be the ideal time for me to go to B-School. Also, given the date, round 1 seemed to be a no-go for a lot of the top 15 schools. My plan was to try and make round 2. Soon after I registered for the exam, I bought the 8 MGMAT books (after reading the gmatclub forums) and got through 4/5 quant books. In my spare time at the office I read sentence correction. Things were looking good and I felt good, but suddenly I stopped studying. I hit a HUGE roadblock. My motivation to study died out gradually.
I stopped studying, doing practice questions, I am scared of going close to the study table (Sounds silly but it's true). Today I decided I would take the GMATprep practice exam to see where I stand with all the work I put in but I am afraid I will get a low score and it will drop my confidence even further!
It's hard to quantify my preparation at this point in time. I do know however, that I am not even close to being prepared for this exam. My lack of motivation has resulted in me rescheduling the exam to October 24th, 2011. I am expecting a miracle to happen and for my confidence and motivation to return back to me. If this miracle doesn't happen in the next few days I know I am bound to reschedule again. I am afraid to see myself getting a low score.
I would appreciate if anyone has had a similar experience and would respond to my post on how they coped with the situation. I am trying to re-build but I don't know where to begin. Help me!
Thank you.

While I understand your fear of seeing a low score, I have to tell you that there is little else you can do other than face your fear and start studying. I too had the problem of not wanting to take my first GMATprep diagnostic, but one day I just forced myself to take it. That kick-started my gmat preparation process, and studying has been much easier since then.
Don't wait for a miracle - take a more active stance! As my experience suggests, once you get your initial fear of getting back to studying, it probably won't be very difficult to get into the swing of things.
Best of luck!
