Need some advise for a second try (got 530 in my first!)

I started studying for the GMAT in Nov of 2006. I wasn't disciplined enough so did not really get anywhere. Then I registered for the Manhattan GMAT in March 07 and took the entire course - studied for 2 months after the course and then took the GMAT. To my horror I got a 530. My average score on the practice tests was 660. I lost all enthusiasm for a while. I am thinking of giving it a second chance.

I need some serious advice on how to start again because I've forgotten most of what I had learnt. I have all the books - the OG, Kaplan Premier prog, Kaplan 800, all the Manhattan Study material.

Something seriously went wrong; because I used to study 2 hrs each day- give a CAT every Sunday for the last 2 months before I took the test. I was feeling pretty confident when I went to take the test. Now I'm so scared with the mere thought of it.

I would really appreciate if anyone could advise me on a strategy on how and where to start.

Hi amishi:

I'm glad to see that you're still determined to follow your business school dreams, and that you aren't deterred by your previous disappointments!

I recommend a study strategy that emphasizes (1) identifying your weaknesses, and (2) adapting your prep to improve upon your weaknesses.

There are plenty of resources available here to help you. Check out:
