Hello everyone,

I am writting because I just cannot seem to get my Gmat abilities to improve. I have been studying fairly consistenlty since January. I took the Knewton course and watched most of the classes two times. I have also completed all of the practice problems, yet my cat scores all remain about the same. First 5 at 490 and the last 1 at 480! I just took the first official gmat practice and score a 470. I wasn't expecting a tone of improvement, but it is so difficult to motivate to study when you don't see any improvement. I want to schedule to take the test but I hesitate to do so until I see some improvement on the practice cats.

I do feel my overall knowledge has improved and I definitely felt my last cat was the best(by far best quant score, verb score way down though). I have just ordered the OG 12 and MGMT number prop book, hopefully I can work on fundamentals some more.

I really appriciate all the forum questions and responses on this site. Does anybody have a different approach I can try? I just need to see some improvement, so I can stay motivated! I am not looking for a 700 score, just somewhere around 600 so I can get intp a local part-time program. I knew it would be tough since I've been out of school for 10 years, but this is a little much! Ok I really just needed to vent , but seriously if anyone could offer some advice/encouragement I would be greatful.

Thanks for reading!
