Hi All,
I took my GMAT in October 2010 and I got a 470. My highest practice score was 570 (the second practice I took) and all of my practice exam scores range from 510-570. I took the Manhattan GMAT course and studied on and off for about couple of months. However, there is a little gap in my study period. I finished my strategy guides in April 2010 and from that point on I just studied and did problems from the OG book until my exam date of October 2010. Was that a mistake? If I alter my study method will it help?
I was devastated with the result and I couldn't open a book for a good few months. I recently started studying and I just completed 2 of the 8 strategy guides and plan to complete them all again. I would like to increase my score by about 100-150 points and plan to retake the exam in the next 2-3 months. Is that realistic? I have signed up for the 60 day study guide from Beat the GMAT. I am not in any type of time constraint so I can take as long as I would like for studying, but I would like to take the exam before June.
I would appreciate any feedback I can get from the forum on how to improve my score and study better and more efficiently.
I was planning on completing all of the strategy guides on the weekdays (my job gives me flexibility to study 2-3 hours a day on the job) and do OG questions on the weekends. IS that an effective plan?
Thanks and again appreciate any advice I can get.
