Hi,

Due to lack of guidance as well as prepartion,I did't give my gmat with full effort. Hence i got only 320 on first attempt; 360 on second attempt.

Now my question is..

Is't Any possibility to enhance 360 to 650 in gmat( if i work hard\smart) . Becuase one of my friend said there is no possibilty to get more than 600 becuase of my previous poor scores. And also,In my third attempt- Questions will raise according to my previous scores hence whatever you will give you will not enhance your score is't true.. is't any examples in history of gmat...

Cheers

Pr,

Well first let me say that it is possible to do what you are asking but it would be a rare instance if it does happen. Most students don't improve that much after such a low score. I guess I am confused that you took it a second time without adequate preparation after the first low score. Hopefully you just mean the scores of your practice test, not the real exam.

My recommendation is to take a formal GMAT pre course or one-on-one tutoring. You definitely need some guidance, discipline, review and a new way to take the exam. Of course, The Princeton Review runs amazing programs. Now I am not just saying that because I want you in my course but your reality is that you need a GMAt coach to take you through this test. Obvisouly whatever you are doing is not working. You will need at least 2-3 months of extremely hard work along with a prep program. And still this may only bring you up 100-200 points, not the near 300 you are looking for but that would be your hope.

I have seen students make huge jumps in their scores - I have seen 200-300 point improvements before but like I said, it is very rare.

You have a long road ahead but if you are dedicated, you should see improvement.

Thanks for your question,
Anthony
