Re: GMAT beat me very badly. But I am not going to quit..
I took my GMAT exam today and I scored only 480 (Q36 V20). I was shocked to see the score and could not believe it for few minutes. :cry: I took four Manhattan GMAT prep exams, scored 570, 580, 530 and 560. Still I don't understand where/how I went wrong in the verbal section. I was studying the fo...

thanx amitdgr & aj5105 amitdgr, to answer ur questions, i wud say GMAT Prep & OG are the best material out there for preparation. GMAT Prep is similar to GMAT real test: - look & feel is exactly the same - type & level is also similar. I would say Quant in GMAT Prep software was a l...

Re: 770 - ?
Hi, Just scored a 770(99%) on the GMAT. (Quant - 51, 99%, Verbal - 44, 97%) I only gave the PowerPrep I test, read the Fountainhead and gave the exam. No other preparation(promise!). The sort of language used in Fountainhead got me into the swing of English that the GMAT uses, and Quant isn't a pro...

Re: Dumb GMATPrep q

I can't seem to find one and am finding this frustrating, yet it is very possible that I am not using the software correctly.Just wanted to check with you. Thanks in advance, Vanessa No explanations i...

Another thumbs up for splashing cold water on your face. I once had to do this on a long drive. I could barely keep my eyes open. I stopped, splashed the cold water on, drank some cold water, and perked up. But also bring brain- and energy-boosting snacks. An apple is GREAT for a quick perk (try it...

First take a short break from GMAT. Don't make it too long. Seeing your practice tests, I can assure you that it was just a Bad Day. You sure can score higher at least 700. Regarding materials, you'll have to use OGs again. Get GMATFocus for new questions in quant. And maybe the GMAT paper tests but...

BOLD FACE CR
I took a GMATPrep today. And this is the first question I got in verbal !! I thought that the first question in either section is supposed to be from easy levels. This one is DEFINITELY NOT easy.
Does this happen on real GMAT ??

THIS IS NOT MY STRATEGY ... I GOT IT FROM SOMEWHERE....... I LOVE THE DIVER'S REFLEX PART. A good thing to do during the break is to go to the bathroom, even if you need not. You will get some rest, won't be staring at the computer screen, and will get occupied with some simple thoughts such as jamm...
