Hi. I started prepping/studying for GMAT last summer (took MGMAT online course). Took it last December and did horribly (440) mostly because I didn't take enough practice exams leading up to real thing. Since then, I took all of January off, and started from the ground up from Feb to April. Taken about 2 practice exams per month, scores range from mid 500's to 610. Unfortunately, just finished another practice exam (MGMAT) and got a 520 (28Q, 34V). I am devistated. Going to B-school is a goal for me for next fall, but looks like this exam is my barrier. I do tons of practice problems (I have OG11 and both verbal and quant guides, Kaplan GMAT, Cracking the GMAT, GMAT 800 books, so I have the materials!) I spend 2 hours 4 days a week doing OG problems (10 questions, 20 min--20 verbal and 20 quant per night), but maybe I should be doing more? Looks like my biggest weaknesses are number properties and algebra. What else can I do to improve my scores in these categories? Oh, Data sufficiency is killing me too!
I don't know what to do. I know I can do it and I know I am much weaker in quant than verbal. I read on someone's thread that you should take one practice exam per week leading up to the actual exam. Should I completely erase my hopes of taking the exam the beginning of October and push back b-school another year? I just want to hit the 650 mark!!! HELP!

Hi
Dont loose the hope boss you will do it certainely, only thing u require is a right attitude to solve the problem.......... My case is almost same like yours i am terrible at quant and have attempted the gamt exam two times but couldn't even manage to touch the mean score...
But still i'll suggest change your way of studying, take each quant probs as if it is nothing.
and keep practicing and solving questions on different gmat forums .
Till then study hard and enjoyyyyyyyyy. U will reach to ur destination...
Good luck

. In a few year when I take the GMAT I will be in the same shoes as most here on this forum. Have you taken the GMAT yet or are you planning on taking it any time soon?
