I took the gmat in september and scored a 470. This was after 5 months of studying 5 hours a day, 10 cats, a class, and private tutors. What happend? I dont know. All I know is that I went ahead and applied to a second choice school and got denied because of it. I must take the test again. I need a new strategy. Where do I start? Do I start from scratch and do it all a different way? What is the best way to study for a test like this? I need advice and this forum is the best place for it. any suggestions are helpful and appreciated. I know I can get a 600 but I need some guidance. I have Mgmat books, all og 11, and just ordered developmental mathamatics. I need this. My time is short because my wife is do in December but she is behind me all the way. So I need a scheduale format, proper study habbits, duratioon, and method. I need a whole new approach because excess and hard work did not work for me last time.
Thanks
Peter

I did poorly on GMAT the fist time I took it to about 3yrs ago fresh out of college. I am currently studying for the test again. This time around I am making sure I fully understand the concepts, learn the tricks that can save time, and not moving on to other sections until I excel at one.

Hope this helps. That is just my 2 cents.

I can relate to all of you guys. I took the GMAT in October and fell short (my a lot) of my desired score. I'm planning on retaking it.

After coming across this website, and after recently buying OG 11, I feel that it's my best interest to start anew, with a strategy this time around (I didn't have a strategy when I first took the GMAT).

"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."
