HI! I hope someone can read this topic and answer me.
I have been studying the GMAT for more than 3 months and a half now. 2 days ago, I took my GMAT exam and I very sadly got a shocking 550 score. After all the studying that I did, I really thought I would at least get a decent score. During the exam, specially in the math section, I was so relaxed and happy, I imagined I would surely surpass the 85th percentile.
Now that I think about it, I should have seen it coming, I got very average scores on all the pre-exams that I did, whether MGMAT or GMAT Prep-exams (more than 13 exams and all were less than 620).
I used to be one of the best math students in school and I am finding it hard to cope with the fact, I did so bad, on both Math and Verbal.
But, I just decided to take on the challenge, which is seriously just starting to get interesting for me. I decided to take on the GMAT in 30 days. I am very motivated to do it and this time I will make sure to surpass even my most optimist expectations. I will start visiting this blog on a daily basis to learn from the great achievements that have already taken place.
Am I trying to achieve the impossible? Should I focus on re-doing it in 60 days instead?
The thing is that I understand now where I went wrong and I don't think it was technical. I believe my attitude was wrong and that I wasn't focused enough or thinking out of the box! I was too timid in my perception of the exam. Now it will be different.
Please share with me your thoughts
Thanks
