Need to build a strong study plan!!!!

by NikolayGlu » Tue Apr 29, 2014 10:25 pm
Hi guys,

Today I 've finished the second practice test from Free Official GMAT Prep Software. I didn't expect to receive such a low score - 480 (Q44;V14). First attempt - 560 (Q43;V24). I prepared about a month for my second attempt. Each day - 2 hours + holidays 4 + hours. But still I haven't improved my score.

This month I studied SC book Manhattan + read fiction books; for math I reviewed foundation of Math Manhattan and after that finished quant part of 1 037 Q Princeton a couple of days ago.

My weakest point is Verbal section. I think that I need to take a strong online course in order to improve my score.

Also, I can't strongly improve my Math score, usually I have 63-68 percentile.

My purpose is 700+ and i would like to pass GMAT in August. But I 'm very nervous because of previous test resutls.


Hope, you will help me!:)

Hi NikolayGlu,

What were the differences between how you took the first practice CAT and how you took the second practice CAT? The significant drop in the Verbal Scaled Score implies that either there were some significant differences in details behind the two tests or that you are guessing too often during the Verbal section (you might also have a pacing problem).

You've hit a certain "level" in your Quant Scaled Scores by doing things "your way"; a GMAT Course that will help you with your Verbal tactics should also be able to help you improve your Quant tactics.

Since you're not planning to take the GMAT until August, you have plenty of time to continue studying. When it comes to evaluating a GMAT Course, you should take advantage of the various free options/resources that each company offers. After trying them all out, you should pick the one that best matches your personality, budget and timeline.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
