I took the gmat over 3 weeks ago, it was a nightmare 450. I never got that score while using Gmatprep. SO I registered again for today, re-read Kaplan, used Manhattan gmat (I'm not somewhere close to anywhere where there are gmat classes). My score went up again. I did 2 tests this week on GMAT prep, first one 640, yesterday got 460. So I tried to calm down and relax, not read, revised this morning. I just got out, I got 500 Q29, V30. I have years of math-based science behind me and I used to tutor other sutdents in English when I was in school. I don't know what to do. I don't know what's happening. it just seems like a recurring nightmare. i really need advice, it's too late to apply to more grad schools and I'm thinking of giving up. I can't afford to waste how much more money on an exam that I do well in every single time except for the day of the exam.

It sounds like you were well prepared for your test. Do you think that it was stress that weakened your performance? If you find yourself unusually nervous or distracted during tests, then stress management techniques may be the best thing you could do to perform well on your next GMAT sitting.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
