I just finished with my pathetic attempt at the GMAT. I am a 29 year old professional with 5 years of work experience in Human Resources. I am very interested in securing an MBA for my future. Unfortunately, it's clear that I have a lot of work to do.
I am not entirely sure what went wrong after receiving a 300 on the GMAT. I was so angry that I tore up the score. I recall my quantitative being in the 3rd percentile and my verbal at 10 percentile. I know it's pathetic.
The problem is that I have not had math since high school. The highest math I completed was Geometry in 10th grade. Unfortunately, I managed to squeak by with no math in college because, frankly, I am afraid of it.
After reading numerous websites, I am reading that it is very hard to improve a score 200 points or more. I am not shooting for the stars here. A 550 score would be wonderful.
What do you recommend I do? HELP! I am going to have to forgoe my business school aspirations for another year
I earned a 3.6 gpa in undergrad, have solid recomenndations, achieved management status in my job this year, and have a well-written statement of purpose.
I am thinking of taking a college algebra course....or even a pre-algebra course to start. Should I do geometry as well? I am weak in verbal too!
I am so discouraged. Can anyone provide advice? I don't know where to start. OH and I studied with a personal tutor for 3 mths. The personal tutor was a math teacher and went through a kaplan GMAT workbook with me.
