Hi
I recently gave gmat on 7th Dec and scored 510 . I am completely stressed out. I did Manhattan Sc, CR Bible, Kaplan and OG 11th edition along with verbal OG Workbook.
I scored 26 in in Verbal and 36 in Quant.
I plan to appear again . Kindly help and suggest a study plan and books.

Sheena,
Hope u achiev ur dream score next time.

few questions:

How did u find quant and Verbal in terms of difficulty or familiarity? Werre there any problems that involved concepts that u were not 100% sure of?

If you can lead us in to us what u found difficult then I am sure there are experts on this forum that can give u some valuable tips second time around.

Hope I dint bore u with my questions...

Regards,
Cramya

Hi Cramya
I am glad that atleast someone replied.
Actuallly while i was taking my GMAT Quant i felt the questions were easy and not really tough . I could solve them but on the same hand i felt i must be doing something wrong since i was getting easy questions.

As for Verbal i had been scoring between 26 to 28 in gmat prep .

Honestly i just don't know where i went wrong in Quant especially .
I know my reply is quite ambiguous but this is exactly what i know abt my gmat.More practice yes is required but how and where to comncentrate i don't know.
Help !!!!!

Hi,

It can be frustrating when you've been prepping for a while, and are not performing at the level you'd like. Did you take many full tests as part of your prep already? The best thing would be to take some time to really analyze tests you've taken in the past and identify exactly what question types and what topics you have been struggling the most with. Go back over your past tests and make notes/keep track of the questions you got wrong and why, and hopefully that will help you identify what to focus on, and how to prioritize best.

Try to do a full length CAT each week between now and re-testing, and do spend time reviewing each one after to learn from your mistakes and continue your analysis. Focus on question types and topics that show up a lot on the test, and you are weak in, for most efficient improvements.

Let us know if you have more specific questions, and good luck!
