Figured I would provide an update to my story for anyone who is interested. I took the real GMAT on Saturday and scored a dismal 620. So, that means my retake score is 50 points lower than my initial score. I can't really explain why this happened, as I was testing between 690-720 on GMAT Prep the w...

Okay kids.. something is amiss. Yesterday morning I took my 5th Knewton CAT and scored a dismal 570 (38Q/32V). I chose to literally just let it go and not obsess about it. Today I wokeup early and had coffee, and was ready to conquer another test. I took GMATPrep test 1 which I haven't taken since m...

Knewton CATs... totally bombing?
Quick background. Took official GMAT last October and scored 670 (I forget the exact scores but Quant was 50th percentile and verbal was 95th, for an overall 84th percentile).

Hence, now my study time must be extremely efficient... as opposed to my previous time intensive method. I actually ...

1st attempt: 670 (39Q/42V) -- how to approach retake?
Anyone who has experience with a disappointing first attempt can relate to this. I scored 95th percentile in verbal... with a dismal 50th percentile in quant. This is the lowest quant score I've ever received! I want to say that I 'froze' or 'choked' but to be perfectly honest, I don't fully underst...

Thanks for such a helpful reply! You are correct when you say my approach up to this point has been "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks." While I've covered a LOT of ground, I am most likely getting burnt out and emphasizing quantity over quality. One theme I've observed in r...
