GMAT Study Tips

I'm so frustrated with studying! :(

I've taken 2 practice tests (both through Kaplan) and scored horribly on both occasions (below 500). Though I did improve a bit, I am having a hard time finding a strategy that improves my test-taking confidence. I guess the main issue that I'm struggling to figure out is:

"How do you know that you truly know the material? How do you know you're ready?"

I'm aiming for at least a 640, and I'm willing to put in the work, but I feel completely lost at this point. I was trying to give myself the opportunity to take the test twice before the new section is added but I'm nervous due to my previous scores.

It has been extremely frustrating as I know that I'm an intelligent person, but this test has been really difficult for me.

Could anyone please offer advice about the most effective study methods along with any other general advice for improving significantly on this test?

I refuse to give up.

Thank you! All responses are very much appreciated!

Achieve your target score on at least 2 practice tests. Don't assume that, even though your practice tests missed the mark, your score will somehow (miraculously) improve in the foreign/sterile test-center environment.

Careful analysis of each question/solution. Review EVERY solution. For math questions, learn every possible approach for solving a particular questions. For verbal questions, learn why the correct answer is correct and why the incorrect answers are incorrect.
This is the only way to identify and strengthen your weaknesses.
It's far better to do 20 practice questions and thoughtfully analyze each one, that to do 100 practice questions without any reflection.

Nor should you. A LOT of students have been in your exact same position and sucessfully emerged from their GMAT prep with the score they needed.

Cheers,

One last suggestion: get active in the forums (I see that this is your first post).
Ask questions. Answer questions. Participate.
It's easier to get through this when you're with other people who are in the same boat.

Thanks, so much Brent! I failed to mention (and realize) that I did not finish the Quant section (I left 11 blank), so I believe that that greatly affected my score.

I really appreciate the advice. I intend to make more of an effort to participate in the forums and review study questions in more depth.

11 blank will kill your score.
I should mention that I recently created a video for BTG that offers a timing strategy: https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2012/02/ ... n-test-day
