LMAO, sorry to laugh but thats the same way I feel sometimes! This test does not test how smart you are. But it does require some insane studying. I had to quit my job to really study and catch up with the engineers in here, and I am going to prove to the schools that I can do it! Chin up, and hit the books, NOW!

How much time did you spend on your studies? What materials did you use, and how dedicated were you. What is your background? There are definitely ways to improve, you just have to know your strengths and weaknesses and form a plan of attack. If you need to study for a full year, that may be it. Some people can study for 2 weeks, 2 months, or 2 years to get the score they want. There are stories on this board about all of them.

believe it or not I spent 6 months studying for this. When I first started, believe me, I couldnt do the most simple problems. But I started getting better and better. My highest gmatprep quant score was a 42, lowest a 30. But a 19?! I never thought I would score that low. I think Im going to take a break from studying for a few days and then start again. My studying materials consisted of PR cracking the GMAT, MGMAT series (really good books) and even a PR course which I took when I first started (big waste of time but my company paid for it). Also, I got some questions wrong which I can't believe I got wrong. Maybe I just need to develope the ability to take a test under pressure which I dont think I have. So yep thats my story............

6 months for how long. 6 months dont mean crap unless you really focus on covering 2-3 hr a day, and more on weekends.

A little bit more info on me. Never scored over a 550 on gmatprep. Also, english is my native language. When I was doinf SC questions from the OG, I would maybe get 17-18 questions correct from a set of 20. I got really good at those. I did well pretty much on all verbal questions from the OG. A set of 20 CR questions from the OG, I would get maybe 15 correct. The funny thing is I thought I was doing pretty well in verbal because the questions I was getting were at least of medium difficulty, and I only got a 26..........I dont get it.

I used mainly PR cracking the gmat, the manhattan series and the OG. I can do most of the OG questions correctly but whenever I take a practice exam I just freeze up. I work full time and my previous math knowledge has been horrible so its taken me a while to learn some of this stuff. But the funny thing is I have never gotten lower than a 30 in quant on practice exams and usually get around a 35-40 so when the screen showed a 19, I was shocked to say the least. I think I need to practice actually taking tests.

Fair play to you.
You are probably the first one to admit scoring a 400on GMAT.

You have the right attitude. What you need to think is that -yes, I cana tame this tiger. I can I can I can I can.
Repeat this to yourself. But don't forget to study hard. This exam needs commitment. You can easily score 600 with reasonable effort. It that's what you are looking for, you are not vary far.

Thanks for the kind words of support. Believe me, that test yesterday showed absolutely nothing about my abilities. Now granted Im not saying Im a genious, but I am nowhere near 400 knowledge wise. If I had the same questions from the test yesterday as practice questions, I would have nailed it. Either I froze or have ADD (dead serious about it), but I am not a 400 guy. You dont go for scoring between 35-42 on gmatprep to scoring a 19. Something just doesnt pan out..............
