need some inspiration

by gnod » Tue Apr 26, 2011 10:46 am
hi everyone

long time lurker, took my first test last november with a 630 (don't have the breakdown with me, although i think it was 43 quant, 33 verbal)

i remember quant being some what tougher than what i have encountered. mgmat was hard, but for some reason the test questions that day seemed harder. could've been the test jitters.

i've managed to raise my practice scores to a consistent 660, 670, 680 in the last 3 months (feb, march, april) but don't really trust the numbers as they're MGMAT exams, and on my 2nd run.

i studied Beat the gmat practice questions recently (i found the math to be VERY helpful - verbal was alright), and am currently reviewing OG11 a second time while referencing my first time errors.

anything additional I can do to improve my score? to be honest - i feel like i've been doing the same thing over and over again and feel fairly lethargic, i don't feel like my scores are real indicators of my skill, and feel pretty crappy. 700 seems so do-able but so far away with each practice exams..

GMAT Score:730

You can do the 198 GMAT Prep Set and the BTG 300+ Maths Set. that would be some nice practice for quant. Have you taken the GMAT Prep test yet? You can keep repeating it to get new Verbal Questions.

As for inspiration keep reading the GMAT debriefs on BTG.

hope that helps. thanks!
