Need sincere advice

by sana.noor » Fri Jun 21, 2013 11:20 pm
yesterday i went through kaplan online test and i score 540..i was shocked to see this score because i am studying gmat since last many months. when i look into the analysis i came across that 9 out of 15 mistakes i made were small stupid mistakes. For example: in one of the question i forgot to multiply with 100, in other question i took 7 zero for one million. i am very good at handling word problems but when a question appeared on the screen i was totally blank. overall, i know how to handle all the questions except two of them. for me the test was really easy but the result was shoking.
Verbal score was another big shock because i am very good at SC and RC. in RC i made three wrong choices and two of them i knew i was doing wrong but i still marked the wrong choice because i wasnt confident. where as in SC, again 80% mistakes were my own fault. i knew every thing but still making small little mistakes. i need advice that how i can overcome these mistakes. i know i can score 700 or above but when it comes to testing, i am totally confuse.

The key to avoiding careless mistakes is to keep a record of the types of errors you make. Once you become keenly aware of the types of errors you typically make, you'll be able to spot the potential for silly mistakes before they occur.

I cover this and many other strategies in an article for BTG: https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2012/09/ ... n-the-gmat

Cheers,
