Hello guys,

Its been since some weeks that i have been looking at this forum, and i feel the duty to post mu (until now) pretty sad story. I need to say that over the last weeks/months i have not felt alone in trying to beat the gmat reading at this forum. Anyhow here is the story, i took the gmat few weeks back and did really bad, i studied pretty much in my own using materials like 800score.com and the official guide .... I did really bad 520 (i am really asshamed to say that) ... I ddi the tets wi fever and i felt that this had some imapct on my performace ...

I have spent last month studing again, now complementing with kaplan 800 book, and the ogmst verbal and quant ... Guess what i only scored 570 ... Actuslly i improved on verbal V25 -> V32 ( not impressive) but reduced my performace in math. Im stonished since at home i was performing arround the 680 - 700 area and specially inquant i was allwaysnhitting the 46-47 area on a bad day ...

I think i need a better strategic approach, any tip?

Darth1980, sorry to hear about your experience but don't feel bad at all, this is a very hard test and what you're dealing with is quite common. Most people do not do nearly as well on the actual exam as they do on their practice tests. The circumstances in the test center are different from home and it's a very stressful thing.

The good news is that many people improve when they take the test again, so there is hope!

We can't offer you much in the way of GMAT advice but we did want to reply to your message so that you didn't feel so ignored :-) Hopefully you're going through the practice questions in the forums, those are so helpful. We also have a post from our blahg that we wanted to share: "I'm losing confidence on the GMAT"

So don't give up hope! Every experience with the test is getting you closer to the goal. Keep at it and good luck with everything!!!
