Hello Everybody,
Here we go. After 4 months of preparation, I finally took the test today and received a 560, 52% Overal (Q36/V29, % 43/52).
I felt bad of course but not beat. I need over 600 to apply on the Master program that I like and if I take the test in one month I could still be on the game. So, I REALLY, REALLY will appreciate any advice on the strategy for the next attent.
Here is my background:
I am from Venezuela so english is not necessary my streng.
When I first took a GMAT CAT (Kaplan), I realized I had a long path to go. I scored 210. I enrolled on the Kaplam Onsite program and took it twice. This probably wasn't the best Idea since Kaplan focus on test strategy more than fondations (what I needed). Anyway, my progress was:
10/03 CAT Kaplan 1: 210
10/10 2: 390
10/17 3: 570
12/14 4: 560
12/27 MGMAT1 5: 590 Q42/V31
01/08 2 6: 520 Q31/V31
01/13 3 7: 640 Q43/V35
01/22CAT Kaplan 8: 590
Oficial CAT 1 on December 530 (I took the TOEFL the day before, I think that didn't help).
I studied almost everyday, on average 4 hours on weekdays and 6 on the weekends. I am now trying to build my 30 days study plan to increase at least 50 point on my overal. Any advice? MGMAT doesn't have any course beging anytime soon
Any tutor? any other good program or book to buy?
Materials I used:
Kaplan books
Number Properties MGMAT
Sentence Correction MGMAT
Word Translation MGMAT
Official Guide 12.
Kaplan Quiz Bank
I am having a big problem keeping my focus on the test, specially on the Verbal part.
Thanks you!
