I just Beat The GMAT!

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.

you actual score and your practice scores are far apart. something is up, not sure what though. good luck, hope things work out.

That explains part of the problem.

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.

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.

Tud,

You are right. I am working on it now.. "Fight till Death" On my 3rd attempt now..

Thanks
