Hi all,
I took the GMAT today and did horrible. I didn't get to answer two questions on the verbal portion and I did absolutely terrible. The average for the Masters of Accounting program that I am trying to get into is a 640. Due to my current heavy undergrad courseload, I have to take the GMAT again some time at the end of August/start of september. I can lightly study on weekends but I cannot fully devote myself until August 1st due to summer school. I feel like I was very rushed and didn't get to apply the concepts the way I wanted to. What prep/books would yall recommend that would be best for my short time frame? What advice do yall have? I feel like I had a hard time on the Data suffiency problems in the Quant, and the entire verbal section I felt like I didn't have time to accurately interpret each question. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Get the OG Archer guide from Mgmat
it really helps in a time quenching situation training you to become faster into giving answers.
Read as much as you can standard English material, and try to imagine how a gmat question can be built around a parag./phrase.

good luck!
