380 :( i failed miserably

by fizzanasir » Wed Dec 21, 2011 4:18 am
i started preparing for this exam in august, and i finally took it today. i have done all OG questions, Kaplan was hard for me, Math is not something i am great at, i have been an average student all my life, my main focus was to get the maximum score in quant, but i dont know what happened, but i ended up with 380. i was getting 550+ in all of my kaplan tests.
I am thinking about re-writing this exam one last time, if i still dont get a good score, then maybe this really isnt my cup of tea. I am not aiming for universities such as harvard and standford. I'll be more than happy if i get a score in the 600's

what should i do at this point if i target to rewrite this in end of january, i know my mistakes and i know where i went wrong. but can i improve my verbal at this point?

I am like you that I got the 380 on my second attempt, I was getting 530 in manhanten free cat test..

I got 380 because I used the strategy is wrong, I got lots of pressure and went for some wrong materials before the test...

I didn't give up instead I fight for more. After I got this score at 380, I retest my true ability after the test day, my ability is 500+. but Long way for me to go for 700+. Anyhow I will try to get that and I think can, anyelse can why I can't???

Right now I go through og again, and plan to review it at least 3 times and try to do some GWD test and some prep tests to sharpen my ability... However, I difficulty is when I do the different I got the same score, for me it is hard to improve immediately or at least say 3 or 5 days to 600...Even I went through og and prep difficult questions.

So I have questions how to improve my ability to 700+

You should feel miserably but that's ok. As long as you have the determination and confidence to fight again... After I failed at 380, I almost want to suicide, but I won't... After I went out from the test building the I always thought people are laughing at me, then I went to subway I meditate myself, where do I go wrong, why am I this stupid? Is MBA right for me??? Is gmat really worth for me??? I sacrifice so much for this test, and I got this frastrating results???

After cool down myself and realize where I go wrong and I should feel confident and need some rest..
