HELP!

by [email protected] » Thu Oct 20, 2011 6:53 am
Hi All

Love the site and i check back reguarly. I need help or motivation! I took the gmat this past june and did not do that well (550). I need to take it again to get into the schools i want to apply to, but have just not had the motivation to get back and start studying again. A little background: I took the Manhattan Gmat class and studied my butt off for 4 months straight and didnt acheive my goal score. I think i may have burned myself out. But i just cant find the motivation to study after such a disappointment. I also dont know where to begin with a new study plan.

Sorry this is all over the place but any kind words or new study plans would help!

You will do well for sure. It was a bad day.

My advice would be not to wait a long time and not to kill yourself.

Totally change your study plan.
Strictly stick to the calender you decide for yourself
Focus on the exam not on performance--toughest part
for each 10 points you need to study a day extra for a month

Believe. You have done far better in Mocks.
