I'm 2 weeks away from my gmat exam , I've already studied for 2 weeks but I took my first complete test yesterday and I scored ad awful 270. The fact is that I ended both quant and verbal section EIGHTEEN MINUTES earlier, so the "Pace yourself" point is not a problem... Today I decided to take another test, trying to calm down a bit and I scored a 560... What does it mean? What should I think, is it possible for me to get a good score, such as 690 or should I give up?
Hi Nan23ark,
Most Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) on their studies, so the fact that you've been studying for just 2 weeks (and have given yourself just 4 weeks of total study time) IS part of the problem.
The GMAT is a big Test, but it is predictable and standardized, so you CAN learn all about the content and patterns, and you can train to score at a higher level. However, for most Test Takers, that entire process can't be condensed down into 4 weeks.
To score 690+, you're likely going to need to invest in a GMAT Course of some type (either Guided Self-Study or Instructor-Led) and you're certainly going to need to spend more time than you originally planned for.
1) What GMAT materials have you used so far?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
