Hello everyone,
I have been on this forum for a year now and this is a great place to learn strategies. Well, right now I need help and I mean serious help. I have written the GMAT four times as of now and am still to reach my goal of 630. The following are my real GMAT scores
1st time-450 Q-30 V-18 (Date-March 2007)
2nd time-590 Q-42 V-30 (Date-Nov 2007)
3rd time-480 Q-34 V-20 (Date-April 2008)
4th time-530 Q-39 V-25 (Date-May 2008)
As you can see I have had the worse feeling ever when I saw my scores on the 3rd and 4th test. With my score on the second test, I had applied for a couple of schools and was fortunate to get an admit from Pepperdine University in LA for the full-time MBA program. I am 21 years and I am from India.
Pepperdine has a big tutition fee and I desperately need scholarships to study there because I do not have enough savings. That is why I have been writing the GMAT again and again.
My classes would begin this fall and I have decided to write the GMAT one last time to get a 630 so that I can get some scholarships. I have scheduled my test date on the 20th of June 2008.
There are a lot of problems I am facing :-
1) I am completely demotivated about writing the test and the very thought of the test gives me a schock feeling that I would again end up with a pathetic score.
2)I have used the following resources during my preparation:-
a)OG 11, OG Quant and OG Verbal
b)Princeton and Kaplan(During first test but dont need them now as they are not challenging enough.)
c)Kaplan 800
d)Manhattan Strategies book for SC,RC and CR.
e)GMAT Prep Software tests
Now the problem is that, I have used all the resources more than twice during my preparation and I dont know what material I should use to strenghthen my weaknesses.
During my 4th attempt, I felt I did well. On the Quant section, I did well but guessed on a couple of questions. On the verbal part also I was doing decently but had some problems with the CR because I was diagramming each and every CR according tp the Manhattan CR strategy. I was expecting atleast a 630 but when the score of 530 popped in front of me, I felt disgusting and felt like killing myself for being such a loser.
Guys, I really need your help..Please suggest something so that I can get my target score of 630!! Thanks
