I just Beat The GMAT!

Hello everybody,

I wanted to thank everyone for creating this website. It is really helpful. I wish I would have seen it earlier. I am an international student applying for a state school here in Florida. I did my undergrads here and the GMAT admissions are not hard at all. I studied for around 2 months for my GMAT. I work full time and English is my third language. I have a dual degree in Finance and Marketing, GPA 3.8

I will be honest and say that I suck at math. I always did. I just took my GMAT today and I feel like the dumbest person ever. Getting over the disappointment will take me definitely couple days. I got a 33 in Math and 23 in Verbal. My english is not stellar but I never had any troubles throughout college. I have one more try in June and if I can't score a decent score I will have to leave the country. I am just looking for any advices or tips?

I want to find tutoring classes, websites or material that could help me. I used Kaplan, Princetown, and GMATPrep for the last couple days before the exam. My issues are Math and mainly sentence correction. I had a 490 and 530 and my Gmat Prep and 550 and 550 on my Kaplan exams. I need a high 500 to get into my program. I know it is not too good of a score but I just really need some help with allocating the right resources.

Can anyone please help? I would greatly appreciate it.

Hello,

My deadline to apply its July 1st so anytime before that. I used Princetown review 2013 and Kaplan 2014. I did two GmatPrep exams the two days before. Scored 490 and 530. I took two 3 Kaplans, 510, 550, and 550. I had 22 on Verbal which is terrible. I need to get better in that department but my language skills are limited. It takes me longer to understand what some of the passages mean as a whole.

My program will take mid 500's for the MBA program. I am going there tomorrow and I will ask what I can do with my current score. I have a very strong, essay, job experience, and resume. Great GPA as well. I was in Honors college and dual major. I am just a terrible test-taker. I am going to the schools library tomorrow and I will seek tutors. I need some good study materials. My friend used Manhattan and studied for a week and got a 760. He is a genius btw. I just want high 500's.

I used Kaplan and Princetown for a while. I went through the books. I bought GMATPrep this weekend and did like 500 practice questions. I had good results from there.

Let me know if you have any suggestions where I could get help.

thank you!

Hi lukas1989,

Since your deadline was first week of July 2014, therefore I am wondering whether you took test or you are still practicing to crack GMAT.

All the best!!!
