Horrible GMAT score...need advise to find a way out

by newuser_beatGMAT » Fri Oct 02, 2009 1:45 pm
I started studing for GMAT three months ago.
I took a Kaplan classroom course since my goal was to get >700.

Kaplan practice test scores-
Kalpan CAT 1 680
Kalpan CAT 2 690
Kalpan CAT 3 650
Kalpan CAT 4 680
Kalpan CAT 5 680
Kalpan CAT 6 640
Kaplan UPT 710
Kalpan CAT 7 660
Power Prep 1 730
GMATPrep 1 710

Today I gave the actual GMAT and got a shocking 610!!!!

I found that i performed bad is math and the math was very "different" from what i was practising on Kaplan classroom tests.

Clearly, Kanplan classroom tests cover math which is different from the type of questions you get in actual GMAT.

I dont know what to do at this point.
Should i give up on my dreams?
If not then from which books should i study?

Please advise

Were you challenged by the questions, or did you find the difficulty do-able, and simply run out of time?

For Math :-

I was challegened in the beginning questions.
For example, i got two data sufficiency questions on slope, one number line question which had verbose information.
One thing I noticed is mostly all questions were wordy.
Since I spent more time dealing with the first 25 questions, I had to almost guess some in the end without reading[the information in the stem was long]


For verbal:-

I think my weakness in SCs really hit me.
