The pain :)

wildblueyonder06,

Listen. I feel your pain. The first time to took this test, I went through Princeton Review with a private tutor, and scored very low... below 500, which is no where close to the score I needed to get into the schools I had my eyes on. I am in the process of studying again... and have been for months. I have taken numerous tests, and still am scoring quite low. I am just not ready.

It's hard to juggle work and GMAT studying... I have had dreams about missing my opportunity to get back into school.... it's not an easy test. Really, the best of the best are the ones that are helping out the most here... the ones that have passed the 700 "wall"... All I know is that tonight, I will try another practice test, and see what happens. (I went through what I got wrong on my last horrible outcome of a test, and I am going to try it again) For me, it's the time... the amount of time I have on the test is my enemy.... so I am going to plug through, and hopefully get the test completed by the end of this year with somewhere around a 600.

Keep on plugging though. There are others out there just like you. :wink:

Thank you for Brian for your post, it really helps to know that there others out there like me. You are right, I have a full-time job and than the GMAT.

But, I registered to take this test on December 16, 2006 and am not rescheduling it anymore. I have had it. I am going to take this test and do well on it. I just need to put on the seatbelt and go through with it. I know there will be a lot of sleepless nights.

After taking the test I am going on a nice vacation, I hope. Just as a reward.
