disapointment

by awax22 » Thu Nov 22, 2007 5:45 am
Ok I am coming back from the GMAT...
I got 660 and I wanted over 700....
I am kind of upset because I hoped for the pressure to be over but here is another round coming.
Having that said, it doesn't worry much anymore...
It's all about time management. I really needed to weigh the difficulty level of the questions which I believe isn't that high. Lower than Kaplan, and like Eric said, at roughly the same level as the OG...

Thanks a lot...

Yea I was wondering: what was your strategy for those of you who took the GMAT again ?
I mean my problem is that I don't feel I have major weaknesses.... the problem I had today is the stress and the lack of speed that goes with it :(.
How do you re-prepare when you have to ?

it still sux though lol

Sorry to hear that you came up a little short of your goal. I think you identified what you need to emphasize for your next round of studies--pacing!

I would emphasize going through a lot of practice problems under timed conditions, and get yourself used to answering each question under 90 seconds, just to stay on the safe side. Some tips on timing can be found here.

Good luck!
