I did not beat the gmat on my 2nd attempt. I did my first attempt in Aug and got a 350. Did not do much in the preparation. I spend about four month and tried again and i got a 350. My Verbal scores rated on the GMAT was only 14 questions out of 41 questions. Is there a reason why my verbal scores for the other questions were not rated.
I know did not do well on the math but i did well on the verbal this time comparative to my earlier exam and end up getting 350 again. When i do my verbal practice my hit ratio on SC and CR is 80% and i really do bad on the RC. But during my exam i was quite and calm and did not had any anxiety. I did not know how come i got 350 again. My gmat prep were around 560. Princeton Tests were around 590.. Did any one experience this is there a way to challenge the GMAT cat algorithm?
Now to try the 3rd attempt i ran out of resources. I already gone threw the OG and kaplan and Princeton resources.
I really need to get around 500 to get in to a decent school. Any help is appreciated.

Did you leave any questions blank on the test? There seems to be a big disconnect between your GMATPrep scores and your actual test which I can't understand...

I don't want to sound harsh, but are you sure you did well on the verbal section? The two sentences above (with the understanding that this is just a casual forum) indicate that you may have some weaknesses in English which might hurt your verbal score.cks wrote:

My dear friend- I too was in your place. It is true, there must be something that you are not doing. However, it is ok. My personal problem was that I was not analyzing my mistakes and then studying the missed rules that were being tested. THis has helped me alot and hope is helps you too.
Appetite for 700 and I scraped my plate!
