Taken GMAT thrice - Stuck at 640

by dubsmagic » Wed May 13, 2015 7:50 am
Hi,

I have taken GMAT thrice and got 620, 600 and 640 in the same order.
1st 620 - V21Q51
2nd 600 - V23Q49
3rd 640 - V25Q51
Please help me out in breaking 700 marker.

Regards,
Varun

Hi Varun,

Since these 3 scores are remarkably close, it's clear that you handled each of these attempts in the same general way. This implies that you've developed a number of 'bad habits' during your studies, so part of your training for this next attempt has to focus on getting you out of those bad habits and into some 'good habits.'

1) What resources did you use during each of your study periods?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT next?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hi dubsmagic,

I'm also curious to know how you've been preparing specifically for your AWA. I'd be more than happy to help if this has been a problem area for you, but am also eager to hear more about your study plan to identify what exactly about your verbal might be holding you back.

Best,
Rich
