Study for 4 hours a day. If you can structure your study schedule similar to how the actual exam is structured you will get used to it.

So, been back at the drawing board with this for about 2 weeks now. My MGMAT tutor suggested I DL the GMAT Prep software and take my next practice exam on there because it is supposed to be the most accurate in regards to what your capable of on the ACTUAL GMAT exam.

At this point i have invested 3k in a Veritas private tutor last summer who guided me to a 400.

Then, I hired Manhattan in January and had a private tutor with them as well and spent roughly 4k. Along with 500 in test fees.

What do you suggest I do?

Well I took it. 450 Q.29 V23 Last time I took a practice exam was 5/2 and I scored 530 Q.36 V.27. Luckily I have until July 15 to submit my final score of a minimum of 550.

Any insight, suggestions? Ideas on maybe why I scored low?

Thank you both for your advice. It is tough because I know I am very close. If I get just a couple more 5-600 level questions correct in either section I probably push up to my goal. I am taking it on Tuesday for sure because I really have prepared hard this past 6 weeks or so and in the event I do ...

I did private tutoring with both Veritas and Manhattan. I have to say I think Manhattan is significantly better. Veritas did not even provide me with the OG 13. And I paid close to $3,000 for a private tutoring package. Manhattan is slightly more expensive but I felt my experience with them was sign...
