570 to 600 to 500

I give up. I've spent over a year studying for this exam. I've taken the Manhattan GMAT, got a tutor, made hundreds of notecards. I went through the Manhattan GMAT books, focused on subjects I did poorly on, and got my performance on the OG problems up to 92-95% correct. I studied every day for 1-2 ...

1st time: 570, 2nd time: 600... help?

First test (December) : 570 (41Q, 29V) Took Manhattan GMAT class, studied on and off for a year, missed the last Quant problem and the last 4 Verbal problems; clearly I needed to eat/sleep/breathe the GMAT.

Hi Vivian, Extremely helpful advice, my strategy has mostly been memorizing rules and solution methods rather than examination of the problem at hand. Reading Comp, I've been practically acing up until the absolute hardest of problems, so I've been mostly ignoring any strategy there. I spent a month...

I just found out the best way to motivate yourself the hard way... I got a horrible score after taking the live test. So, go study on and off for a year, take the test, then when your score sucks, spend the next three hours learning how to prep well. Some of the success stories are really fascinatin...
