Need Assistance

by Juggernaut_86 » Sun Jul 31, 2011 7:23 pm
Hello,

I have not had great luck with the GMAT in the past and I am planning to take a plunge into this once again.

Just to give a brief background, I have taken the GMAT 3 times in the past 2 years and my scores have gone down from 670 to 620 to 590.
Something that does not usually happen. The reason - I made the GMAT larger than my life and my brian stopped working during the test.

I took the GMAT last in May 2010 so its been a while. I am in a situation in which I will have to take the GMAT once again and that too within 45 days (I am targeting mid September).

I know that I have the potential to get a 700+ and I am ready to work hard one more time. I need some help from the experts on this website as to what game plan should I follow to achieve my goal in terms of going through all the different question types and preparing for the test in such a short interval of time.

I will appreciate the help!


Best Regards.

Hi There

Firstly we would say that stay positive and such anxieties are common during exam preparation time. Juggling between work and studies is tough so you need to define a significant time for your GMAT preparation. Sometimes taking few days off work for preparing for the GMAT can help a person tremendously. If you have time this may not be a bad idea.

Take practise GMAT tests to see how you are doing. If you cannot do that don't worry. What might work instead is to set aside 1-2 hours at night on weekdays and major part of your weekend to study and prepare for GMAT.However we recommend you to keep taking practise tests to gauge your performance. It will help you in identifying your weak areas and you can focus on them accordingly.

There are various ways you can use to practise for your GMAT. You might need to change your practise style and try this combination to provide you flexibility and different styles to practise so it doesn't get monotonous.

It could be combination of-

1-Books- Books like- The Official Guide for GMAT Review, The Official Guide for GMAT Verbal Review, The Official Guide for GMAT Quantitative Review etc could be used.

2-Online Study Guide: Websites like Knewton, Grockit etc provide you with practise questions online.

3-Smart phone applications- Kaplan, Veritas etc offer applications to prepare for GMAT on your smart phones.
