Hi Everyone,
I have taken the GMAT twice in the last 8 months and scored a very disappointing 530 both times. I am going to take one more crack at it in the next few months as I think my true potential is not indicated in my previous scores.

I have my Manhattan GMAT resources (Books, online, etc) from a class I took awhile back. I also have the 11th and 12th edition OG's and the purple/green OG supplements. I am also thinking about adding either the GMAT FIX Companion or the GMAT Hacks OG to the OG.

I am feeling a little overwhelmed about how to jump back into studying. I think my problem before was going through the problems and not fully absorbing them and being able to apply the concepts to other problems. Just wanted to know what you guys think would be a good approach to get back into my studies (took about 2 months off).

Any advice/feedback would be helpful and appreciated.


Thanks,

-Steve

Your source prep materials look good. If you want more difficult problems you can find them in the challenge archive of Manhattan GMAT.

Thanks! Any tips on how to tackle my studying sessions? Obviously, what I had been doing previously was not working. My weakness seems to be learning the concept and being able to apply it to other problems.


Thanks
