Hello everybody!
So, here is the part of my gmat-preparing story
In early September i decided to take 2 months off work to prepare for GMAT (I'm 22, graduated from University this year). So i divided my preparing time into 2 periods: 1)middle of September - 5th of October. Actual test. If result would not satisfy me i decided to prepare for a 2)rest of October and through 6th of November (Then actual test #2)
First time, i scheduled GMAT appointment on 5th of October. I had about 2.5 weeks to that appointment.
I have a friend who passed a GMAT last year, so i had no difficulties to decide how i should prepare for an exam. Surfed through MGMAT books 2007 - 3rd edition.
Also took 3 MGMAT Cats and 1 Gmatprep, results were quite different.
Mgmat Cats' scores varied from 640 to 680. Gmatprep was a disaster - 590...
So i took an actual test and got 680.
My goal is to break through a 700 benchmark. Of coarse i decided to retake an exam.
During the first 2 weeks after the test i carefully read MGMAT 4th edition books and did all OG12's test problems.
This week i have done 2 Mgmat tests and 1 GMatprep. Results terrified me.
Mgmat # 4 - 760 (49Q, 45V)
Mgmat # 5 - 780 (51Q, 45V)
Gmatprep #2 - 590 !!!!! (51Q, 22V)
My exam is on the 6th of November. And i can't decide whether i should reschedule it in order to improve my verbal skills. I really have no problems dealing with SCs and most of CRs, sometimes it is difficult for me to "solve" RCs.
So, here is my main question. Should i be anxious about such bad Gmatprep results and reschedule an appointment? Should i trust Mgmatpreps more than Gmatpreps ?
I am really nervous about the future appointment, because i will not have 12 hours a day to prepare for GMAT after the 6th of November.
Thank you!
Nick.
