Hi everyone,
I had been studying for the GMAT for about a month not knowing how difficult preparing for this would actually be. I took the GMAT about 2 weeks ago and did ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. I scored a 390 (21% on the verbal, 11% on quantitative, 91% on the analytical writing and 37% on the integrated reasoning). That was actually the best score I had gotten since my practice scores were ranging from 310 to 315. I'm 25 years old and currently unemployed as this is my only focus as of now. I graduated with a degree in Communication so in other words, I haven't taken math in ages! I know I can better my verbal by just practicing more but I feel that math is just not my strong suit. Every time I do the practice problems I feel as though I'm not getting anywhere. Even when I'm on my medication (Ritalin) I feel that I just get more and more frustrated.
I honestly just want to give up altogether because my goal is to score AT LEAST a 630 and feel that it would literally take me years to even get to that level. I don't have that kind of time as one of the main reasons I am taking the GMAT is to get the hell out of my country and go back to the US (where I use to work until my 1 year OPT visa ran out and they were unable to renew me for a working visa) and even Canada (since I heard getting a work permit there is much easier).
So basically, my question is would it be possible, (assuming I studied at least 5 hours a day and at most 8 hours a day) to get that score in 3 months? Or should I just give up on my North American dream and basically accept the fact that I'll be stuck in my country for another couple of years dreading my life and wishing I could go back there.
By the way, I say 3 months because that is when I plan to get my application in by.
Thanks and any helpful responses would be greatly appreciated!
