(Q29, V28). I I decided to take it 1 la...

You can do it! Hang in there - putting in the effort will yield the results! When I started, it was really tough for me to even grasp math concepts, after lack of practice. Now, I'm able to solve most problems in 3.5 minutes and determined to get that time down to 2.5 minutes per question. Practice ...

Don't lose hope - you'll get there! If you're planning on taking it again, before you start studying again, do yourself a favor and commit some time to really analyzing your strengths and weaknesses. eg. Is timing a problem? Do you stay longer on 1 problem when you should be moving on ? (pacing) Is ...

Hey Nehs - don't get discouraged, you'll get it the second time around! I was scoring 650, 640 in my practice tests, but I got so nervous, that I ended up scoring a 490 on my actual exam - what a disaster! So, this just goes to show you, being calm and collected is also key in getting a good score. ...

Good luck in your attempt Jackhero! I'd say - chose the approach that works the best for you! Personally, I find I'm a better studier when I cut everything off and focus on one major goal at a time. But, I have friends of mine who've done well on the GMAT while relaxing throughout it all. It's what ...

Thanks CaseNX for that detailed rundown. The 8 MGMAT Strategy guides are arriving in the mail today and I'm really looking forward to getting into them. I know my math prep could have been much better, so I'm going to focus on what you said: practice perfectly - not just do several questions but not...
