Hi everyone! So, I’ve kinda lurked the forum for a bit the last couple months and feel as tho I might be one of the few who doesn’t need a high score. I only need a 500 and I thought I was just there. In December I got accepted to the school I want to go to on the condition I score above a 500, and a 630 to be considered for scholarships. I took a diagnostic test and scored a 460 (don’t know the break down) thought I would be fine if I just brushed up on my math. After the holidays I started studying out of the OG, after a month in I realized that wasn’t helping so I signed up for the Kaplan self guided help. Thought it was helping but took the gmat and scored about 90 below my highest practice test.
Dec 2018- Kaplan diagnostic 460
GMAC prep- 400 (31Q15V)
Signed up for Kaplan
Kap practice 1: 460 (32Q21V)
Kap practice 2: 470 (31Q23V)
Kap practice 3: 480 (35Q 21V)
Kap practice 4: 500 (35Q 23V)
Kap practice 5: just did verbal 23
3 days before test GMAC prep: 400 (29Q 17V)
Real test: 410 (25Q 21V)
On the OG book practice I did well on CR and RC so I don’t understand why on tests I’m not doing well on verbal especially since English is my native language.
I am not a good test taker so I believe that might be having to do with it but it’s frustrating. I feel discouraged and really stupid. I’ve been studying for over 3 months and I feel as I’ve done nothing but waste money and haven’t actually enhanced my skills. Can someone help lead me to some decent prep that is either free or really cheap. I’m already hurting having to pay another 250$ to retake the exam. Thanks In advance!

Hello,
Don't be discouraged, first attempts are always a little difficult. As the next step, I would suggest you look at the video series by GMATNinja on the GMAT club youtube page, they are really helpful.
Secondly, start re-examining all the questions of the OG on GMAT club. While going through the different comments you will see different approaches taken by the students and experts and will help to expand your horizon on how to attempt a GMAT question.
Lastly, for quant, I would suggest you have a look at the MGMAT guidebooks and then solve questions on GMAT club topic wise.
COntinue taking a mock test every 1-2 weeks. And when you are close to your next attempt, only take the official tests. I would also suggest you go for the next attempt when you are consistently scoring at least 50 points above your target score.

Hi lmyhra11 welcome to GMAT club
Firstly don't get discouraged by this attempt.You can find lots of stories,on gmatclub, in which people have achieved their dream score in subsequent attempts.
Your score suggest you are lacking basics in both Quant and Verbal.
For Quant I would suggest you go thru Manhattan Quant guides and couple them with GMAT club tests.
For verbal, I would suggest you to enroll for egmat.
All the best!
Hope this helps!
