390 (Q 7, V 33)- you can see where I'm lacking!

I've taken the GMAT 2x in the last 6 months, and preparing with OG, Cracking the GMAT, and Kaplan books. All I've been depressed about is my overall score, 390. But looking at other people's scores it seems that I actually did okay in Verbal- is that true? I'm shooting for a 550-600, and it seems if only my Quant was okay as well I would have had a good score. Am I understanding that correctly? 33 in V isn't that bad? Or is it?

Anyway, I was just about to drop $1200 on a course, but now I'm wondering if I really only need to get help with math. I am in publishing so my English is well above normal.

Thanks for the advice! :)

PS- The first time I took the GMAT I got Q 6, V 38. Then I followed the advice in Cracking the GMAT and it royally messed up my V. All of the shortcuts it taught me were garbage, and it lowered my score!

Looks like you are lacking in your quant. Get a basic math review workbook and start learning the basics. You need to really put a lot of time into improving your math skills.

Thanks, I know that my math is lacking. But what I'm starting to realize is that perhaps I should only spend my $$ on Math help, and not an overall course, since I score 33-38 on verbal WITHOUT studying for it AT ALL. I think I've spent about 2 hours total, ever, reviewing verbal. I focused all on math since I know it killed me. I got A's in math in school, and I know the basic concepts to a 'T', but when it comes to GMAT math, I stumple miserably. I think it's the way it's presented.

i think you should purchase all of the Manhattan GMAT Math books. They will teach you everything in a nice, simplistist manner.

if they require a certain foundational level of knowledge, i think buying a math fundamentals book or hiring a tutor would help immensely.

i haven't taken a GMAT course, let alone one that focuses on math, but i imagine those courses assume you have basic math skills and take off from there. i could be wrong though.

good luck

The thing is that I have strong basic math skills and reviewed all the basics, even obtained a college Algebra and Geometry book and did all those exercises, checked my answers, and answered 90% of them correct. It's GMAT math specifically that messes me up.

Well I'm going to sign up for a Manhattan classroom course that covers everything, since it's 7 weeks long and the longer I'm in the classroom, the better. It's so frustrating. I can do numbers in my head instantly, but GMAT math gets me. I think what happens is I know how to solve the basic problem but I fall for their traps.
