GMAT Strategy Help!!

by countdrak » Thu Oct 06, 2011 5:05 pm
I just took my GMAT a few days ago and got a 610! I was pretty confident of getting in the 680-690 bracket. I bought the 6 Manhattan GMAT adaptive tests. I started at 580 consistently moving to 680-690 in the last 3 consecutive test. Practiced from OG11, Kaplan, Manhattan GMAT question bank. Pretty disappointed with my score and out of ideas on what could have gone wrong! I am planning to take the GMATs again in a month, have to for november 15th deadline for some schools.

Where can I buy more adaptive tests? I am not even sure what I should focus on for the next month to get into the 680-690 bracket.

Any advice? Thanks/

Don't worry and keep studying. The mere act of taking the real test a second time is likely to raise your score significantly.

This may be a silly question, but did you take the Official GMAT practice tests? I didn't see them mentioned in your post. The downloadable software is free at: https://www.mba.com/the-gmat/download-fr ... n-software
