Hello All

My desired score is 620-630. I have been giving MGMAT exams and getting in the low 600 or 590's consistently. Q ranging from 36 to 41 and verbal ranging from 33 to 35. So i decided to book my exam on 31 Oct. But today when i sat a GMAT prep I got only shocking 510 Q 35 V 25.

I had this score exact score (510 Q 35 V 25) 4 months ago in the official exam. I have done 2-3 months of thorough maths study and improved my SC a lot. Today i got 17 verbal wrong and 8 of which were just silly SC mistakes (may be i was having a bad day)!!

I am very upset. I work full time and from the past 2-3 months all i have done is work and study regularly and as much as i can. Now looking at the GMAT prep scores i dont know what to do

i am just too dumb for GMAT

What should i do?

That's odd...because I find the MGMAT CATs significantly more difficult than the GMATPrep ones.

I've never broken the 710 barrier on MGMAT, or scored above a 48 on quant.

I'm on my last two weeks of prep, and I just keep taking MGMAT CATs (the quant section only). Every single one of their CATs invariably throws me at least a handful of questions that induces a flurry of obscenities and a subsequent uneducated guess.

So I don't know...try taking GMATPrep2? Maybe you just had a bad day.

Thanks a lot for your reply.I actually find it the other way round. I find MGMAT easy and GMATPrep scares the heck out of me..hence i was very scared before i even touched it.

I will do the second GMATPrep and I will try doing one MGMAT too to see where I stand.

Thanks!

"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."
