Hi All,
Here we go again, my 7TH test and I scored 510(Q42,V20)! My average mocks was 630, all above 600, I actually scored 680 in my latest kaplan mock. Yes I am still in disbelieve!
My test results for the last 6 exams were as follow
450-(Q39,V14)
530-(Q36,V27)
500-(Q42,V19)
560-(Q47,V21)
540-(Q44,V20)
550-(Q39,V27)
I feel that GMAT is not for me, I tried EVEYTHING, one-to-one classes, group classes, different materials, different tests, full time/ part time study and different centers. nothing worked for me.
I have 7 years work experience, a BSc and MSc in engineering, was accepted to the program last year but it was to late to get the GMAT on time.
So, I wrote to the university to explain my situation and now waiting for its decision, my 560 is way below its average of 650, so it is unlikely I will start on the full-time course next month and I am really, really disappointed.
Thanks

You have been bogged down by the pressure to complete GMAT. I believe your 7 attempts have been within a span 13 months. Honestly, Thats like less than 2 months for 1 attempt. Did you make an error log during any of those attempts? Did you look back at all your mistakes that you committed while studying and tried to figure out why did you commit that mistake? Did you analyze your mocks? Did you write mocks under the same pressure environment as you are in while giving gmat? Your mocks during your last attempt was 680 but was it under a stressful condition. Did u skip IR and AWA during mocks?
So far I have gone through all your posts, there have been people trying to motivate you throughout your journey. Honestly, I don't think you are bad at all conceptually in Quant with a Q47 but Verbal definitely. Do you know all kinds of errors that you can commit in Verbal section? You have a psychological issue with GMAT rather than a conceptual issue. Look back and see if you didn't think about submitting your score to the college in a hurry, and just prepared for GMAT at your own pace, would you do better?
I can't even imagine how frustrating it would be but please do some self reflection before you hang your boots.

Yes. I think it's at least partly the pressure. Take some time off. And when you get back, start with the basics. Review basic quant concepts and English grammar. Thoroughly analyze the questions from your mock tests and you might recognize some patterns. Keep at it.
