Hey there fellow members,
2 years ago I gave the GMAT and I scored 530 without any preparation. Unfortunately I cannot remember what my math score was, but my verbal score was definitely in the low 20s.
In late summer I decided I will take the GMAT again. I have been studying for a few months now and went through the MGMAT guides. After going through the Quant guides I scored a 580 (Q 42, V29). Later on I also read the Verbal books and took 2 another CATs. I scored a 580 (Q36, V33) and a 620 (Q40, V35). Today I took another practice test! BOOM, a disappointing 590 (Q44, V29)
Here is the thing: My scores are all over the place. On one test I miss only 3 SC problems, on the other I miss 9, etc. I am having trouble raising my math score as well. I am not bad in math. In fact, I was familiar with most of what was in the MGMAT quant guides. My problem is that I have difficulties applying the right concepts. For instance, when I read a problem I am not sure how to attack it (I would easily solve all problems if I had someone over my shoulder telling me each step).
I desperately need some tips from someone who used to have the same problem and managed to raise his/her score from high 500s.
Thank you!
