Hello All
I have been planning for an MBA for a while now. I sat my first GMAT some 3 years ago without any preparation (just to test where I stand) and scored a 400.
Afterwards I started serious preparation and started studying Manhattan GMAT (all books except the advanced section at the end). I saw my score increase in practice tests from 400-> 450 -> 500 within a month!
I kept on sitting GMAT and my official scores went from 400-> 500 -> 550 -> 430 (after the verbal section was changed but not formally announced). After I hit the brickwall of 550 no matter how hard I have tried for the past one and half year I have never been able to score above 550.
After that I undertook a coaching and gave GMAT Prep -> 510.
No matter how I try I am not able to score above 550. Frustration level is 10/10. I has a white collar job and quit my job, sold my car, moved back home so I could prepare for GMAT and get into a top MBA. No social life as I feel ashamed facing people being a jobless guy
I see people with a week of preparation getting 750 and here I am who is trying for years and still no luck!
My target score is 650. What should I do. Please help!!
