This community has given me a great deal of sense in terms of the GMAT's ins and outs. I discovered it too late, though. I would be thankful to get someone's input on my situation:
I took the Manhattan GMAT 9-week course in September 2009. After that I took my 1st practice exam, getting 580. Then I had the Holiday break over Christmas and started back in January doing problems at lunch break during the week and takin a practice exam on the weekends. My average score has still been 580.
I took the official GMAT yesterday and was very frustrated to see a 540. Although I was not expecting a huge improvement, I felt great (no stress, no nervousness, etc.) and was expecting a little over 600. I want to go to a top 10 (need at least 660+) in fall of 2011 so I need to get the GMAt out of the way pretty soon.
I ca see that the course and my self-study have not been efficient methodologies. I would like to know if anyone can share some wisdom recommendations as to what to do to study for my re-take in about a month and a half.
Thank you!
