I give up. I've spent over a year studying for this exam. I've taken the Manhattan GMAT, got a tutor, made hundreds of notecards. I went through the Manhattan GMAT books, focused on subjects I did poorly on, and got my performance on the OG problems up to 92-95% correct. I studied every day for 1-2 or more hours since February and got a 600 in April then a 500 today.
I've tried every strategy, but I'm incapable of scoring any higher on the actual exam. You win, business schools. I'm not elite enough for the top 50.
This exam is not for everyone. If you have ADD like me and simply do not perform well on any standardized test, it probably won't matter how hard you study. You'll have to rely upon other forms of intelligence to get into the school of your choice.
I'm still applying to the schools I want to get into, but it's not going to be an orthodox admissions process for me. Even though I scored just above the minimal required scores, I'm still well below the averages.
There are probably going to be some replies which say something to the tune of, "You can still get a higher score!" It's not worth more money and wasting more of my life on a test that won't make a bit of difference in my actual career. After a year, I'm done with this thing, and moving on.
