Hello everyone,
First of all, I'd like to say thank you for this site. This site has been giving me the support and courage to keep going and not to give up.
I need help from the experts and I would really appreciate your comments.
Background:
- From NYC, 28 year old female. Working in Investment Mgt in a company. Graduated Cum Laude from undergrad.
I've been studying for 3 months now and postponed my GMAT once, originally for May but postponed to June 8th. Then when I took the GMAT mock test 4 days ago, I got a whopping 440. It increased from 410 when I first took it but still not enough
Things I did:
- I watched all the videos from Magoosh.
- Read RC Powerscore Bible
- I mastered SC
- Answered most of the 3 OG books while using MGMAT error log. I got a lot of questions wrong.
- Got frustrated so I went back to Magoosh and answered their practice questions. Answered 418 out of 465 questions in Math and answered 387 out of 391 questions in Verbal.
- I made detailed notes.
- Know all the formulas except RTD and sequence which still confuses me.
I think I understand most of the concepts but just have really bad test taking skills. I freak out whenever I do mock exams and forget everything I learned. This is also why I'm so scared of taking mocks
Please help!
Thank you!
