I need some ideas/advice/suggestions...

I've written the GMAT twice this year, and both times scored in the 400s.

I went up by 50 points the second time around, but the mark obviously is still low.

The first time I wrote it, my verbal was weak, and my test anxiety and endurance needed work...

I focused on those two, and so the second time I wrote it, my verbal score went up, my endurance was really good, but my quant score went down.

The first time I wrote I didn't even look at OG (didn't know it existed - - hard to believe I know!), all I did was Kaplan tests/book. I would score a 500 on the tests consistently. Maybe had a two scores (one in the 400s and one in the high 600s). I did the GMATPrep, but don't remember the scores).

The second time I didn't look at Kaplan and only used GMATPrep, OG, and Manhattan. My scores were anywhere from 520 to 620. Mostly 520-570. I got a 490 one week before the test, and I was devestated!

I'm starting re-evaluate whether I want to do business school. I really want an MBA to propell my career but this GMAT experiencing is leaving me sinking.

Any positive direction is appreciated!

If you are really committed to going to business school, don't let this stupid test get in the way of your dreams!

What is the target score you are looking for? Also, what schools interest you?

It seems like you need to first take some time to develop a strong study strategy--especially one that emphasizes identifying your weaknesses and tactically improving upon them. Take some time to read through the following resource areas:

These two areas are great places to start thinking about how you would form your own strategy. Studying smart is going to be the key to getting to your target score!

Best of luck!
