please help! :)w

It seems like you have hit a wall with your studies. I applaud your perseverance in regards to the GMAT. A good friend of mine once told me, “work smart not hard.” While I do not agree with the portion about not working hard, it does make sense in certain situations. Personally, I think the saying should be slightly changed to, “work smart AND hard.” It seems like you have got the hard work portion down. Now it is time to work smart. I would first consider postponing you upcoming test. If you do not feel like you are prepared then you should wait until you do. Furthermore, as the test day gets closer, and you do not feel as prepared as you would like, I can only assume the pressure has been mounting. If you postpone the test you will be able to study without anxiety about the impending test date.

In regards to preparation, I would consider buying a specific test prep series and sticking to it. I am a fan of the Manhattan series. But you should choose whichever company you are most comfortable with. During your studies make sure you are concentrating on why you are getting the problems wrong (and right), not just the answers. I would also take a practice test every few weeks to get you used to the format of the test.

Best of luck. I have no doubt you are about to turn a corner in your preparation.

Thanks Gabriel that is very nice of you.

I feel the same way about turning the corner because basically all of this stuff that I have done was a thorough basic study, then I take all of the questions on the quantitative part and I have yet to go back and drill those questions. I missed 19 on the practice test out of the 37. I believe if I can go back and study every question I worked and got right/wrong within the two weeks I will have a better understanding of WHY and should increase my scores because right now its almost like I just did a bunch of busy work and didn't go back and check to see why and why not. Would anyone agree?

By the way, I wrote down every single question that I missed on the quantitative part of all of the practice books and put them in a notebook. I wrote down the questions, the answer, and the explanation. That took a LOOOONNNNGG time and now I will have to go back and do the same for the data sufficiency part. Is this an ok method or am I wasting time?

As you can see I may be WAAYY to thorough
