Bad stuff first. Cons: 1) You took it 6 times. It is hard to justify that. I hear the thumb rule is 3 attempts after which adcoms will definitely wonder why you needed more. You may want to write an optional essay to your targeted schools to try and justify that number. You would not want to tell t...

Yes, keep going and don't give up. I'm in a similar situation and I'm not giving up until I break 700!
The debrief alnasser973 posted is great, but he used WAY too many different books. I think OG and MGMAT should be enough (that's all I'm using, so it better be enough! haha).
Good luck!

600 - 41Q 32V - need new study strategy.
Hello, I just took the GMAT for the 2nd time but didn’t do as well as I wanted to. Below are my scores. It seems like I am missing something critical while studying because I am putting in the time but the results aren’t translating in a higher score. I was studying for at least 2 hours every ni...

Awesome! Congratulations!
My exam is in about 10 days. My strategy is to keep taking MGMAT's practice exams every other day and review the exam the next day. Any tips/comments to consider before taking the exam the second time?

GMAT Score 530 (Q37 V25) - need new study plan!
I took the GMAT today and got a dismal 530 (Q37 V25). I'm very surprised at low my verbal score. During the test I seriously felt rushed. I freaked out a few minutes when I saw how fast the time was going. I am planning on retaking the exam in 1 month because that is the soonest I can take it. I don...

Awesome post! Congratulations on your fantastic score! I'm taking the exam soon and I feel I should focus on DS - my weakness. Do you have any tips? As in would you say the questions are similar to the ones in the OG? I feel confident doing the first say 50-60 problems (which are probably the easy/m...
