I have to say that I'm at a complete loss with this. I originally took the GMAT (with very little studying I may add) and got a 460 (both Q/V were in the low 20's if I remember right). My GMAT prep scores were pretty low as well, in the mid 400 range so my real scored seemed appropriate. I knew that wasn't going to be enough and I didn't really like the Kaplan materials so I got the OG11 materials and studied consistently for the past 2-3 months to retake the GMAT. My test scores averaged about 570, Q35/V39 or so. The program I want to enter into only has a 570 average so I figured I would be fine with a slightly lower score but with my great work experience. I just retook the GMAT today and got a dismal 480 Q28/V29. I am completely shocked that I was only able to raise my score by 20 points. I barely had any studying for the first test and felt so much stronger for this second time. The easiest math problem that I encountered on the real test was comparable to the hardest one from the OG11 materials. Everything just seemed off from my practice tests. I have pretty much exhausted my OG11 and Kaplan materials, what else can be recommended? I seemed to get 8-9 out of every 10 problems correct in my practice so OG obviously wasn't good for me for some reason. Any help would be appreciated for better study materials so I can take this miserable test for a third time.
