I just Beat The GMAT!

Hello everybody!

I`ve just got 610(
The problem is that i were studying a lot! Not less then 3 hours everyday for 3,5 months.
First of all i had GMAT one month course (lot`s of tasks). I`ve done OG Quantitive and Verbal twice, all Quantitive section in OG GMAT Review. I`ve done around 5 tests at Manhattan Gmat and one Official GMAT test somewhat 4 times. My score range was 640 - 730. I made a 298 rules list for Verbal and around 100 for Quantitive.

But i didn`t pay enough attention for AWA. And actually i didn`t use any strategy for CR and RC. As well i`ve never made the full test in real time with AWA.

The biggest problem - i found real GMAT test absolutely tiring. At the end i was totally exhausted i couldn’t concentrate properly on the last few questions.

Please advise, how shall i prepare further. I would appreciate any idea or tip)

Thanks in advance:)

What was your score breakdown? Going forward, you should definitely concentrate on your problem areas, but don't neglect the other sections in the meantime.

It looks like you have enough material to prep with - as I've mentioned in other posts, it's really about the QUALITY of your studying, not the quantity. Do you know the OG problems well enough so that you can explain WHY the correct answer for each problem is right and the wrong answer is wrong? Spend time going over the problems and analyzing them so that you can spot similar patterns in other problems.

Also, as you already know, I always recommend doing the AWA portion even on practice exams even though, for whatever reason, you feel as if you don't need to. This does give you more practice on what to expect on the actual exam. On future practice tests, you should allocate the proper amount of time to make sure that you do work on the AWA sections, even if you feel completely confident that you will ace it.

Good luck!

Oh thanks, VP_Jim

Yes i shueld really concentrate more on Quality and AWAs) i will. Thanks for your attention)
