Hi,

Due to lack of guidance as well as prepartion,I did't give my gmat with full effort. Hence i got only 320 on first attempt; 360 on second attempt.

Now my question is..

Is't Any possibility to enhance 360 to 650 in gmat( if i work hard\smart) . Becuase one of my friend said there is no possibilty to get more than 600 becuase of my previous poor scores. And also,In my third attempt- Questions will raise according to my previous scores hence whatever you will give you will not enhance your score is't true.. is't any examples in history of gmat...

Cheers
Pr

Well....I don't really know what to tell you. Those scores are very very low and I agree that you made a mistake by taking it twice. A few thoughts:

- Lack of familiarity with the test doesn't fully explain your scores. Are you a native English speaker? If not, that might explain some of your score but obviously not all of it.

- A 650 seems pretty far away to me but I have seen some pretty dramatic increases. It may make sense to buy a book, get familiar with the question types and the "core knowledge" for the math section (your formulas, your triangle ratios, etc., which you have simply got to know COLD; if you do not have that stuff TOTALLY memorized do NOT take the exam: this is the advice I give everyone and it is especially important for you)...

...after you feel as prepared as you can be, go to your nearest Kaplan center and take the Kaplan Diagnostic Exam, have it scored, and then assess where you are. At that point, it may make sense to take a Kaplan class or it may make sense to re-evaluate whether business school is really a viable option.

Good luck and let me know how it goes--

"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."
