Looks like you are lacking in your quant. Get a basic math review workbook and start learning the basics. You need to really put a lot of time into improving your math skills.

Ok, so you know my advice is not based on success as I'm just starting my studies and in the same boat as yourself. Looking to start a masters program in January at a school with average gmat of 550 as well. My first practice exam from mba.com I scored low such as yourself, but I did zero prep for i...

advice from someone who wasnt written the exam yet, just beginning practice and taken a cat exam and scored low with no prep. With enough work and intensity to learning the material it is possible, as it is not an IQ test at all. Don't sell yourself short and if it's something you want than go for i...

You seem like a pure academic person, who gets disappointed when they feel they were performing to their top ability and ends up scoring 10 less points and is disappointed. What did you expect to get out of posting this here? You just venting about the 10 points? Learn to deal with when you fall sho...

Needless to say the experience was a huge eye opener towards the amount of studying I need to put in for this exam. I bombed and did not even break 500. My background is an undergrad in Finance a...

Timing yourself
When practicing people stated they would time themselves to stay under 2 mins. What if you do the problems and run over this time limit? do you move on or spend the time finishing over 2 mins and mark the question to come back to?
Please describe this method in good detail. Much appreciated.
