Hi,
I need help with a good strategy for my 3th attemp where I need to get a minimum of 600.
My first exam was at the end of November. I was really nervous on the testday. For preparation I started in September with the math basics, since that was my most weak spot.
I used the OG 13 and the MH guides 1 - 5.
Gmatprep1: 350 (Q20, V17) (took the test after one month of studying.
Gmatprep 2: 450 (Q31, V21)( (at the beginning of November)
CAT 1: 460 (Q32, V22)
CAT 2: 470 (Q33, V23)
CAT 3: 500 (Q32, V27)
Cat 4: 530 (Q32, V31)
Cat 5: 460 (Q28, V27)
Cat 6: 460 (Q37, V17)
I knew that I wasn't going to score near 600 since I only knew the basic, but I was hoping for a score around 450/500 on the testday. Well, on the testdat I scored 360.
Disharted, I made a second appointment.
This time I was really going to brush up my math skills, reviewed everything thoroughly. I also got the MH guide for sentence correction.
For 3 weeks I practiced a lot and in the fourth week I started with the CATs.
GMATprep1: 480 (Q30, V27)
CAT1: 540 (Q38, V27)
CAT2: 520 (Q37, V25)
CAT3: 540 (Q40, V25)
I was confident for the testday (which was yesterday). I was hoping that with a little luck I would get a 600, but if I would get a score of 550 that was well for me.
So I took my second exam yesterday and I got 400. I was totally shocked. My cats score were much higher....
I have studied for 4 months fulltime, did al the exercises from the OG 13, also I did all the exercises from MH guide 1-5 and a little of sentence correction.
However, in the cats I made a lot of mistakes in the RC questions and not so much in the SC part.
Also I'm not a native speaker. Math was always my weak side, so I did a lot of practicing on the Math and DS because I knew that would ruined things for me. Now my math is a little better than my Verbal, but its still not enough.
My first attempt I got 350 (Q17, V11)
2nd attempt I got 400 (Q25 and V20)
Now I want to give it one last try. I need to score 600, what should I do differently and what is a good strategy for me? Also how long should I take to study?
I was thinking to take my final attemp by the end of March or the beginning of April, but will that be enough?
Please help, advice needed!
