I took the GMAT this past weekend and my unofficial score was terrible. The school I'm applying to told me that all I need to get in is to score above 500 to get accepted, their average is 540-610. I'm using Manhatten GMAT flash cards, GMAT review books, and attended a workshop. Can anyone help or offer any suggestions? I'm taking it again July 23 to meet their Fall 2011 deadline.

A few questions you might need to answer.

1. What was your Quant and Verbal split?

2. What has been the weaker areas?

3. What has been your strategy?

4. What do you think has been the problem?

5. How do you think you can fix this?

You have a clear 1 month and getting a 500 is do-able. You just need to focus on the right technique. However this requires a bit of introspection on your part. There are no silver bullets. There are no magic wands.

Thank you for your reply. Keeping up with the time was a problem. I did fine on the practice tests. Scored better on them too. I think I just choked and was too nervous. This school told me that they're more focus on Quant scores so I've been working hard on those. I need to be better at Data Sufficiency and making sure I spend enough time on each problem.

"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."
