GMAT Strategy

Hi,

I took the GMAT a week back and didn't do well. I scored 550 (Q-45, V-24). I have been struggling to crack the verbal portion, particularly CR and SC. Before taking the test, I went through Manhattan guides for the SC,CR, and RC. I solved questions from the OG (Verbal) and took a few mocks before the actual test where I was around the 28-29 mark. I couldn't cross the 30 mark and to be honest I was getting confused in most of the questions.

I'm planning to retake the test!!
How should I start again? Shall I join some coaching institute?

Thanks!!

Well!!! you may get various advice here but I would simply advise you to take some expert help of you are stuck somewhere and struggling to find a way to improve scores.

There are various reasons due to which students keep getting low scores and certainly there are ways to overcome them by self preparation but the difficulty, Lack of confidence and frustration during self preparation may work against you and uncertainty that you will face will be much tougher challenge then.

However the only way to improve score is to identify the problem area and work towards it. You must understand here that Certainly finishing every study material is not the key.

We can help you identify your problem area during a free Demo assessment. Feel free to drop an e-mail.
