Hi guys,
in march this year I have taken the GMAT and scored 590 (Q38, V33). Because I reached 620 twice (once before even starting to study) in the GMAT prep exams before and I aimed on at least a 600 score, I was quite disappointed.
This is why I have decided to retake the GMAT and scheduled an appointment for next week on Thursday. I have been intensely studying over the past 2 to 3 weeks with 6-8 hours daily (haven't been able to start earlier). Due to my poor quant score I have worked myself through all quant books of Manhattan GMAT as well as all OG quant problems (and partly the QR).
I feel like I am quite comfortable with the types of questions and have always performed well when doing timed sets in the guides.
Now, I have just started a GMAT Prep Test and felt like I wasn't able to use anything I learned in the course of my studies for the questions in the quant part of the test. Within the first 15 questions, despite more or less guessing about half of them, I was already way behind the time and so frustrated that I canceled the exam without seeing the results.
I am really disappointed now because I feel like all the effort I put into studying the previous weeks has been for nothing.
The question I have is whether you'd recommend me to still take the test, because right now I feel like I might score even worse than the 590 I scored the last time.
I would really appreciate some tips. Right now I don't have any motivation to continue studying until test date, as I feel like my results won't increase anyway (and probably decrease).
Thanks in advance
