Hi. I took the Gmat a few days ago and I feel rather frustrated about this process. I still want to hit my target though so Im willing to do what it takes to accomplish my goal. I need to get 550 or higher on Gmat, with at least 50% on Quant section. These are my 2013 and 2014 scores, it shows a small improvement.
Nov2013 V 19/18% Q 37/42% Total 470/25% Essay 4.0/21% IR 1/ 0%
Dec2014 V 23/32% Q 35/33% Total 500/31% Essay 3.5/13% IR 4/37%
Once I hit the verbal part, my mind is exhausted and end up guessing some questions. Also, I have a hard time reading the RC passages fast enough and have to read the CR stems more than once. I am not sure which RC technique to use anymore. It feels that I would have to read very fast to keep up with timing in the verbal part and that theres absolutely no time to take notes in RC. I took 4 practices tests, 2 from the official PrepGmat and 2 from the Exam pack 1 and scores varied from 540 to 580. I took a live class, completed about 80% of the problems in OG13, and read most of the Manhattan books. I also completed most of the Question pack. To be honest, I felt burned out at the end of preparation.
Ive been to the US for 20 yrs and also completed a BS degree here. My native language is Spanish.
Please advice, thank you.
