Hey guys,
I took my 2nd GMAT paper today and really hit the deck with it - in fact I have both times!
The first paper I scored 370 - this mortified me as my practices had NEVER been this low. Today I scored 410. This time, the feelings were no way near as emotional, lets say! But as my score came onto the screen, I just felt like saying forget it. Especially as all my practices these last few weeks have been in the 500's.
I've been accepted to a business school in London, with the conditional offer that I score 600plus. Unfortunately today due to my lack of turning knowledge into GMAT success, I've had to defer my offer for entry of September 2014. This now gives me a year.
FYI I've been studying part time since May - doing as many hours I can, mainly across weekends and every other week I can sneak a day off from work.
I'm looking for any kind of strategy advice as I've decided to start a fresh, obviously taking forward the knowledge I've gained, stored and worked with over the past couple of months. I invested in the Kaplan classroom anywhere course - which I have until late this year to utilise.
Books wise I have: The Official GMAT Quantitative Review, Official GMAT Review - 13th Edition & a Kaplan GMAT Math Workbook.
I'm deciding to steam on ahead, as theres no time like the present! I was hoping that I could get some of your views, experiences on how you've not let the GMAT beat you, and how you've conquered it!
Background - I'm a british female, early 20's. I currently have a First Class Honours degree in Business & Logistics.
Looking forward to moving forward with it all and hearing some views.
