After 6 months of studying I took the GMAT on May 18th and got a score of 480 after getting 600 scores on the practice exams. I know I was very nervous and did not have faith that I could do well. I should have been more confident.
I took Manhattan GMAT online course and finished all the questions in OG 13th edition and reviewed the ones I got wrong or couldn't do in less than 2 minutes. Took 6 practice exams and tried problems from different question banks. Studied between 2 to 3 hours a day on weekdays and 4 to 7 hours a day on weekends (I did take a couple of Sundays off). I knew I wasn't completely ready to take the real test but I had already registered and wanted to get a feel for the real thing. But my score has discouraged me and even though I am studying again as of today, my confidence is very low. I keep thinking that after 6 months of hard work, how can I not have gotten a better score.
Not sure if there is a solution anyone can offer but just thought to put it out there and see what happens.
cheers
