At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Hi all,
After study studying for 2 months and getting up to a 650 (q44 v35) on the GmatPrep software, I some how managed to get a dismal 570 (q35 v31) on the actual test. To say that I am devastated would be an understatement. Upon coming home I noticed that knewton offers 50% off the regular price to those who have previously completed a competitors course, so as a knee jerk reaction I signed up. It seems reasonable given the price and 50 point increase guarantee.
I awoke this morning still feeling pretty upset, however, I stumbled upon bipolarbear's post and have become excited to begin studying again. I figure by copying bipolarbear's strategy and completing knewton's program I should be able to reach my new goal of 700+ (I will be happy anywhere above that).
Resources used
OG12
MGMAT SC 3rd edition
OG Verbal guide - only did SC
Kaplan Advanced
Half of gmat club tests - ran out of time before I could complete them all, and didn't keep a proper error log
Oxford seminars - The teacher was excellent, but the course layout was terrible. It focus's mainly on 500 level questions and the application process. I would not suggest that anybody pay for their services. In fact, I wouldn't even suggest going for free.
I think my main issues were nerves and not being
New plan and materials include
Plan (total hours dedicated 24-30)
1. Knewton for 6 hours a week - plus 6 hours assigned homework
2. Follow bipolarbears routine as much as possible
3. Keep a better error log!
4. Structured schedule for each day
Materials
MGMAT SC
MGMAT NP
MGMAT CAT tests
PowerScore LSAT LR Bible
Knewton
Go over mistakes from club tests
Jeff Sackmans Extreme Challenge & DS challenge
Review the material I already have
I am looking to dramatically improve on my RC but can't seem to find a definitive resource that everyone suggests. If you have one please let me know so I can go purchase it.
If anyone is interested I will be making a calendar to specifically lay out what is to be covered each day and the time allowed to spend away from the gmat (I feel that by allowing my self time away from the gmat I will be more focused while studying)
Anyhow, to prevent my self from going postal I will be fleeing the country on March 16th for 3 weeks (initally this was my reward, not it is a safety measure
). Until then however, the plan is to gather the necessary materials as listed above. I will return on April 8th and begin a new more rigorous study routine.
