i didn't beat the gmat, but was beaten by it in the other way!
total480, m42,v16
i've never had such a bad exam experience in my entire 21-year life.
my preparation:
i took a gmat course in Aug last year but didn't have time to continue the prep since i had to attend shool to make sure my GPA was good afterwards.
4 months later, namely Jan. this year(the beginning of my one-year holiday), to push myself a wit bit, i made the decision to take the exam in 30th Mar.
i went through OG12, it took me 3 weeks or so.
then i had my first GMATPrep try, it was 500, disappointedly.
at the beginning of Mar, new term began. i did SC+CR official guide and downloaded other meterials(it's a kind of full version practice, includingAWA+M+V) to improve, meabwhile i had to attend classes.
i did GMATPrep II and scored 560. undoubtedly, it successfully discouraged me, though i could see a slight progress.
there were two weeks left, i was so nervous, wondering whether i could take it; sleepless nights were commonplace
eventually, i was in front of the computer answering questions.
although Math was easier than i expected, my pace and my mind were much slower than i used to do. i was not 100% sure when i clicked the answer. thinking what was wrong with me, i foresee i would fail
verbal was even worse. the sentenses weren't long, but i spent so much in understanding them.
the worst part was, my brain was not able to process the datas i saw though i levished much time!!
when 480 popped out, i was speechless!
i don't think i am a below-average-IQ girl
i don't think i will have a big problem when study in an English speaking country
i think i can manage the courses and perform well in the future
but it seems that i have been denied by the ETS already?
i used to think that it must be an idiot if someone scores around 400, and it turned out to be me!!
i am more desperat than desperate housewife, and psychologically, i think i have a repulsion to gmat now.
i feel scared when i see the gmat books. take-2 is not possible so far.
do i choose the wrong path or am i just not the administration-or-business-type person?
is it possible to enroll in b-shool without a gmat?
hope that you can give suggestions to me
