Just took gmat 4 hours ago....totally beat by it ...i feel so destroyed and confused now ....please give me advice !

my targe score is 650. I usually score 650 (560-690 range) in kaplan mgmat and gmatprep.

I am an international student and i supposed do to much better in quantitative section than verbal. I just feel insane that i am running out of time and i have to guess >10 Q in quan. The quan Q is much much much harder than i expected.

My score
Quantitative 32 42 percentile
Verbal 32 64 percentile
total 560 54 percentile

I really need some adivce. Anyone think i can prepare better in one month ? I really want to study master of accountancy, i only have 3.2 gpa and no significant related experiment. Please please please give me advice ~

Do you recall any specific types of problems that gave you the most trouble? Were there problems that you just didn't know how to do? If you can remember the most troublesome areas, then you can focus more on those areas in the upcoming month.

It seems like you may have had the most trouble with timing, so if you can get the timing pinned down, that in itself could help your score quite a bit. From what I understand from reading the posts from the really high scorers here, everyone has to guess at some problems, but you want to make sure that you are guessing at the problems you really don't know how to do or that would take too long to do instead of missing the easier ones just because you're running out of time.

Nice job on the verbal! Just because you're International doesn't mean your verbal can't be good.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
