I studied for over 4 months using the Manhattan GMAT guides plus the OG12+OG13. I failed to break 600 on any of my three tests (highest was 560).

I was looking at the Knewton course and their 50 point guarantee as a last resort. I am so depressed and frustrated as I had studied extremely hard this past summer and now I have to wait yet another year to apply (assuming I raise my score)

Is this course any good? does anyone have any tips or recommendations as to what I should do?? I'm almost at the point of giving up.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank You!

Primestar -- Good question and I feel your pain! Don't give up -- I'm confident there are points out there for you to put on your side of the ledger!!!

I'll try to go into a bit more depth than Jim does below...

1. Can you provide more guidance about the specific areas that seem to be causing you more challenge than others? Stacey's article here might help with that a bit -- https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2011/02/ ... sts-part-1.

2. What's your target? I ask this only because it's good to know how big the mountain is that we're looking to climb...

3. Lastly, if you do decide to wait a while to re-take, I'd encourage you to really spend some time thinking about your study plan. Check Stacey's article's here for some more thought/detail. https://www.manhattangmat.com/blog/index ... an-part-1/
https://www.manhattangmat.com/blog/index ... an-part-2/

Hope this helps -- let me know about some of this and we'll chat further.

-Brian
