Undergrad GPA question

Hello, I am looking to start a Part Time program next year. I am looking at USC, Pepperdine, and Loyola Marymount. I took my undergrad classes at UC Santa Cruz where I received Pass/No Pass along with detailed narrative evaluations on my performance. Looking back after almost 8 years, I realize that...

My long journey-Question on materials

My long GMAT journey began in 2008 when I took the MGMAT class. Shortly after the class ended, I moved and changed jobs-twice. Needless to say, I got a bit side-tracked. I have taken the GMAT twice within the last year and scored 530 both times. I had a painful eye infection during the first attempt...

Thanks! Any tips on how to tackle my studying sessions? Obviously, what I had been doing previously was not working. My weakness seems to be learning the concept and being able to apply it to other problems.


Thanks

Third and final crack at the GMAT-Ideas/Suggestions please

Hi Everyone, I have taken the GMAT twice in the last 8 months and scored a very disappointing 530 both times. I am going to take one more crack at it in the next few months as I think my true potential is not indicated in my previous scores. I have my Manhattan GMAT resources (Books, online, etc) fr...

GmatGreen, GMAT Hacks puts out "The Official Guide to the Official Guide" that gives solutions and techniques for each OG 11 questions-so yes, these two books are indeed comparable.

Feeling Defeated-Any advice would be great

Hi Everyone, Took the GMAT for the second time on Sat and got the same, disappointing score as the first time-530 (scored much higher in verbal than in math). I felt much more confident this time around. I did start to get short on time toward the end of each section and had to rush/guess. I know my...

thanks

Thanks for your input. My problem seems to be taking the concept or strategy from the problems I do in OG11 and applying them to problems on the practice exams. I have been studying for a few months, but feel I have more potential than what my scores indicate. I think I will go ahead with my test an...
