Hello. I am korean, using English as good as a smart 10year-old native kid. I have been studying GMAT for 4months. But my score is like a blind guy who doesn't know where to go.
For I am Korean, I strongly belive that I have decent math skills. However, my lame english ability holds me very tightly.
Here is my GMAT journey so far.
Official GMAT 460(2013/april) - did not study till July -
GMATPrep Exam 1 Q44 V22 550(2013/August)
GMATPrep Exam 2 Q47 V28 620(2013/Sep.)
Veritas Q46 V28 590(2013/Oct.)
Official GMAT Q35 V22 500(2013/Nov.)
MGMAT CAT Q37 V30 560(2013/Nov./11)
MGAMT CAT Q38 V32 580(2013/Dec./4)
As you see my verbal score is improving which makes me quite happy. On the other hand, the quant suffers a lot from something that I don't even know.
What I am currently doing is 2hour reading from Harvard Magagine, American Technology, Smith Soninan Magazine, The Economist and Aljazeera news everyday. I pick one interesting article from each source then read in summarizing each paragraph and describe the stucture of an article. Also, I review verbal section and then strengthen my weakeness.
For quant, I merely review what I've got wrong from CATs. I figured out that I can solve almost every question but I spend too much time. Furthermore, there are so many mistakes because of poor understanding. Beside, the time limitation makes my hands sweaty and does my head a vaccum state.
I don't quite manipulate all the information given such as answer choices. Once I notice that I cannot fully understand a question, my mental goes to astral world.
My family is poor and I am the first one who studies abroad. I fotunately got scholoarship and graduated a college in the U.S. And story goes on, an amazing chance approched, a free MBA and Ph.D program in the U.S offered by the chair of the college I graduated.
I cannot stay on GMAT studying any longer. I should work and contribute to my family. However, I have decided to be a greedy person only this one time, pursuing what I really want to do regardless my circumstance.
I will take one last GMAT on January, 2014. Whatever score comes out, I will stop.
At least, 650 is needed to get into the program. I have one month left that I can all spend for GMAT. Help me.
