An almost disappointing story

Question

Hello everyone! I'm planning for a Master program in RSM and I have a huge problem with my GMAT score. Although I study around 6-7 months -all alone,no tutoring- and there is no progress for me. My first two examinations were 550 and 560, in September and January, and now I'm very disappointed -it's very annoying to strive for the better and not having the proper results-. I have read around 4-5 books, seen many video, I have studied numerous hours and completed around 20 Tests but always there's dead end. So, I decided to write this passage in order to listen your advices, your tips or even something that I'm doing wrong and I have to change it. Note: my scores in both mock tests and real examination are around 550 to 580. I just need that 600!!!

PanosPasp  - You just need a more structured way to approach the GMAT. I recommend that you enrol to an online course that will help you significantly improve your score; by the way, a 550-580 score range on practice tests is not bad. Therefore, you story is not disappointing. You just need to be more strategic.

A couple of things that can be a noticeable barrier to your scores would be some or all of the below.

• Not detailed knowledge of GMAT Math pattern and Question types

Hi PanosPasp, Just hang in there. You are close to 600. You just to learn a few things and you can get your score. I would suggest you to go through your previous mocks, analyze the solutions of the questions and learn the right methodology from that. You can go through our webinar recordings to understand the gist of the strategies. As you just need 600, I don't think you need to go deeper into the application part. You can check out our YouTube channel for the webinar recordings and the free trial of GMATWhiz to go through a few concept videos. Hope it helped. All the best
