general gmat advice

by just34 » Fri Nov 13, 2009 8:08 am
I took the practice gmat twice and got a 440 and a 450. Then I took the actual test after doing 2 months of prep and got a 350. I felt pretty confident when I was taking the test, but it didn't work out well in the end. Any advice from anyone? I appreciate it!

can you provide some info on your study approach? what materials did you use? and what were your score breakdowns?

I used the princeton review book "how to crack the gmat". I got a 19 on the Quantitative and a 17 on the verbal, for a total of 350. The first practice test I took (offered by my college), I went in totally blind, not knowing what to expect and I got a 440.

IMO, princeton review is a little too easy and geared towards those looking to score in the 600 range. What's your target score?

I would be happy with a 600 range score.
