570

by hitmewithgmat » Tue Feb 03, 2009 4:12 am
Hi,I got 570 today and I am very depressed... :cry:

for Quant, I used to get 49 but I got 42. i have no idea for this disaster. I think I can work on it by myself, so less concern about quant section. I just need to pay more attention..

for Verbal, oh my god, I was flabbergasted when I saw the score 25. 25!!! I could not belive my eyes.

this is the study strategy I had so far. but I think I have to change.

for SC, I thought it was my strongest part since I can get them right from OG verbal part. However, when I solved the problems during the test, I was vague and confused and it seems harder than OG SC section. I utilize Manttangmat SC book. Please advise me for this matter.

for CR, wow, I don't know. I solved all the problems from OG 11th and Verbal Review and every book on the market but again, during the test, some of them made me confused. what strategy I shall need to adopt? Please advise.

for RC, I got improved since I jotted down and paraphrased. it was not that hard but doable for me. However, I need an advice.

so, I really want to improve my verbal score from 25 to at least 40. Please advise what I need to do.

I personally think I focus on "solving the problems", not " analyzing the problems". so I need to work on that too.

I utilized lots of GMAT Prep and Manhattan gmat online sessions, so even if I got 720 or higher, it probably won't work out. what should I do???

I love to fresh start when I get the advice from you.

Thank you for reading this and I look forward to receiving a reply.

cheers. :cry: :cry:

I think you are fairly serious and don't see many problems with your language either. It is probably an one-off bad experience. Don't get depressed and try taking more tests. Once you start scoring consistently, you can apply for GMAT again. You are using the right materials, I guess and there is no need to change the strategy.
