Hello everyone,
I started preparing for GMAT around August last year and my target score is 700+. So far, I have exhausted the following:
OG11 (twice), Kaplan 800, MGMAT SC, MGMAT Word Problems, OG-V & OG-Q supplements
This is where I stand today on scores:
GMAT Prep 1 - 660 (when I started preparing)
MGMAT-Free diagnostic - 630
MGMAT 1 - 640 (Q44, V34)
MGMAT 2 - 600 (Q43, V31)
MGMAT 3 - 630 (Q42, V34)
MGMAT 4 - 650 (Q48, V32)
GMAT Prep 1 - 650
GMAT Prep 2 - 620! (Q35, V41)
(I took it this morning)
The problem I am running into is that when I take short 2-hour tests from OG supplements, etc. I do quite well (75%+ correct) which makes me feel prepared but when I take any of the practice tests, I get these results that are quite a bit lower than my target of 700+, which is also why I have not taken a test date yet. However, I think I am at a point where I cannot afford to wait beyond end of this month as we have a 'family addition' on the way which is going to make me really busy from the next month. More importantly, since I work full time and have been preparing for a long time, I am already feeling worn-out, exhausted, frustrated, helpless, desperate and bored with GMAT. I was thinking of taking GMAT on Jan.23rd before I took GMAT Prep2 this morning. But now after seeing the score, I am rethinking about the whole GMAT thing just because I am running out of time and am feeling very pressured because of my scores and other factors. I hate to give up but might have to do that this time.
I wanted to blog before I did that to see if my fellow GMATters and some experts on this website would have some pointers for me.
I would very much appreciate some sincere help/advice/suggestions.
Many thanks in advance.
