I am not sure where to start but my GMAT experience has not been very pleasant but I am not giving up yet. I took the Manhattan GMAT class last year and studied for three months after the class before taking the exam. I went in with high hopes of passing the exam but got a score of 350. I was very disappointed so I decided to take a few weeks off to decide my next step. I decided to tackle the exam again and studied for another two months, this time creating close to 300 flash cards on things that I thought will be important towards my exam but I still got a low score of 370. At this point I am not sure what I am doing wrong and will appreciate any advice I can get. I have the OG 11, the OG work books, all the Manhattan GMAT books and the Kaplan 2007 premier program books which I have exhausted. I am not sure were to turn or what to do and feel as though I am doing something wrong. I dedicate about 3 hours during the week and about 6 hours on the weekends towards studying. On some days I can grasp the concept of CR and the passage and on other days I cannot seem to understand it. All hope is not lost because I believe I can pass this exam. I have told myself to exercise a little bit of patience before registering for the third time. Any advice will be appreciated.
Thank you

Sorry to hear your story. But I was not able to find any mention of practice test scores you got in your prep. The practice tests indicate your scoring range and also identify your area of weaknesses. Did you have a plan of attack on your weaknesses? Such detail will enable members of this forum to help you out.

My practice test scores were normally in the 500 range and although I analyzed my mistakes I did not see any improvements in my scores. Looking back, I realized that I was not detailed enough and I was also not timing myself when working through problems.
Any suggestions on how I can improve my scores will be appreciated...

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
