Hi All
Today after 4 months of rigrous prep, I sat for GMAT and scored a horrible 600. This was my score when I started preparing for GMAt in the first week of Feb in GMAT Prep. Seems as if 4 months of prep din't materialize.
What happened there while taking GMAt , I still fail to understand. I never scored less than 48 in QA and always used to finish qa with 15-20 mins left. Today I can't believe: my time limit in qa was over when I moved to the last question. Also I spent my 15-20 mins on q 4 and same for I guess q 8. I was so erratic in quant that for the first time I had to blindly guesses the questions coz I had only 3 mins left and 5 questins to answer.
However, as u can see the major problem was verbal. In all my practive tests I was scoring consistently with a range of 30-36 in all my mocks including GMAt Prep. I scored 710 three days ago with GMAt Prep and was scoring in that range only with the highest at 750(GMAt Prep). In the actual GMAT , I was scoring pathetic because I was receiving easy questions(length of the CR was no more than 3 lines and in SC I hadly remember I faced any question with more than 1 line) time and again as far as CR and SC are concerned. No idea abt how good was my RC but I guess wasn't that bad.
My problem is that I have already exhausted all the study material that I had with the only exception of 1000 series. Following is the list of materials that I used. I went through OG atleast 3 tmes each for sc and cr.
Kaplan Premier
Kaplan 800
Manhattan SC
Princeton Review with DVD
GMAt Official Guide Review 11
1000 RC (first 60 passages only)
I used the following tests
Kaplan
Princeton
GMAT Prep
I'm planning to retake the exam probably in a month and a half time. Pls suggest what shd I do. At present I don't see any way out and I'm clueless about verbal. I had spend 80 % of my time for verbal section
