I need help or suggestion

by jamesbrown » Tue Feb 16, 2010 10:44 am
I have been studying for the GMAT for about 2-3 months, but for some reason, I still can't score a 550-600. I don't know if I should really sign up with Kaplan - In class learning. I used Manhattan GMAT series, Kaplan math workbook 2009 but still no improvement in my study. I am over 60% in SC but I struggle with RC and CR. Maybe, I am always stress when taking the test.

Please, help, I need to apply to Ohio State Part time MBA either this summer or this fall.

If you're interested in a course, I can recommend Veritas. I just took their verbal course and it is pheonomenal. The best advantage that they have over all other competitors is that they develop questions with GMAC, so their questions have the exact look and feel of what you will see on the GMAT.

jamesbrown I think the main problem with you is stress....and that is due to u don't have confidence in you...While you solve problem..First try to solve any book without caring for time ... and gain confidence..
Never forget a work started is half done and ur getting 60% only that means u r just short of confidence.
when u r over with ur solving problem of the book whichever u have..then try it solving in time may be 2-3 minutes which you think of is better..
gradually decrease ur time for solving..but never solve problem wrongly in haste..always try to solve it correct whatever time it takes...
Also I wanna say that ... whenever you make a mistake in any problem..check out for solution..and check what is the general point which is new for u ..not for that specific problem only but in general for other problems too..
tis woul d really help you to reach atleast 700...

yea i agree with shashank.
once u get ur base strong , then u should be aiming for the time limit!
but that doesnt mean tht u spend 30 mins to get 1 problem correct . its a mental action. even though u r not aiming for answering the question in 2-3 mins @ the beginning, u should atleast get it right in max 5 mins .

Hope this helps :)

I would like to thank you guys for all your encouragement. It seems like my problem is stress - I noticed that whenever I take a test "Timed", I do really bad but when I review my mistake, the questions that I get wrong normally i should have got it right. I really need to work on stress and time management.

Thanks guys.
Keep Fighting
