Stuck at 600

by linh-vn » Thu Apr 26, 2007 2:40 am
Hello the GMAT community,

My big day is after tomorrow and despite of the fact that I attended classes at Kaplan and did study intensively for the last three weeks, I can not score above 600. I start to believe that this is my "gmat ceiling" !

Can somebody tell me what happened between their 600 and 700 score ? Is there different levels in the learning process ? Do international students usually score less than native English speakers ?

Thanks.

It can sometimes help to do some private tutoring if you hit a "ceiling" while studying on your own. Sometimes private tutoring can help you to break through.

Sounds like you've already taken the test, but a lot of people take it twice nowadays, so if you take it again, consider whether you might need some targeted tutoring to help get yourself to the next level.
