Ask the Test Maker

Good evening everyone,

My story might sounds like many other stories. I have read many of them. I just want to share what's happening.

I started to study in september. French. Lived and worked few months in new york few years ago. Didn't practice math for long. Wasn't easy to get back to it. Started around 550. I worked for two months and took THE test. A poor 540 was on my sheet of paper after four hours of stupid mistakes. (30% in math).
I decided to take classes with a personal teacher. After three months 610 on the official test ( 55% math, 70% verbal)...A huge deception.
I was scoring from 630 to 660 on Manhattan Gmat and did a 640 on gmat prep few days before the test. (pretty balanced 65%/70% on quant and verbal)
To be honest, I don't know what to do. I now have exactly one month until my last shoot. I need a 650/660.

If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it.

All the very best to all of you (if anyone have any question on the materials, I may can help )
And good luck to the new gmat students

One thing I have to ask is why are you sticking to a 1 month time frame? It seems like you have rushed your prep in the past and this has cost you on test day...

Hello, Paul. Sorry to hear you are not getting the GMAT score you are aiming for. You may want to re-post your story to the main GMAT strategy board. This board is to ask questions to GMAC, the creators of the GMAT exam, and unfortunately, I cannot help you with specific study strategies. You may have better luck posting this to the main forum where other students and test prep coaches will be able to help you with ideas and tips that work for them.

Good luck!

Thanks Rebecca, I will do that now !

Thanks to respond so quickly. I have one month because of my dead line applications...

Realistically, it sounds like you have some fundamental gaps in the quant. You should really spend a lot of time reviewing these. Without talking to you it is hard to pinpoint exactly what t work on, but probably almost all of the material if you want to be around the 75th percentile and you are now at the 30th...

Hi, Jim. I think the OP has moved this conversation to a different thread. Thanks!
