Hi,

Currently, I'm on day 12 of the 60-day study plan (13th edition) and I'm getting very demotivated due to my performance so far.
I'm only scoring about 30-40% correct. The only module I'm doing reasonably well for is arithmetics, with about 70% correct.

My base GMAT score was terrible as well. Just 410.

I've scheduled the gmat for March 17, and I have only one chance to re-schedule it before the university's registration period closes.
I need a 600+ on the GMAT.

At the moment, I do have the free time to study all day, but I'm still worried.

So, please tell me. Is it normal to score this badly on the 60-day plan?

Regards,

Constantijn

What's normal? There are an infinite number of paths to GMAT success. So yours is starting this way. Ok. Now you just have to figure out what it's going to take to raise your score.

On quant, if you can do arithmetic you have a foundation. Now you need to build on that to develop your skills in handling more types of problems.

On verbal just keep learning concepts, be super careful and be ridiculously determined to get right answers. I recently posted my take on rocking verbal here. https://www.beatthegmat.com/an-alternati ... tml#739859

For more insights come back and post again. You can get plenty of ideas on these forums.

Hey Marty,
Thanks for your reply!
I'm not at the Verbal section yet, but I've read your post and I'll be sure to keep your advice in mind.
Thanks again

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
