Hi Lisa,
Just took gmat and got 560. I was hoping to get atleast 620 on the lower side. I have prepared for 8 months. I am completely shell shocked
I took the following course:
1. Took 7 weeks instructor led Princeton Review GMAT prep module
and Practiced the following:
2. Princeton Review GMAT Manual Version 8.2
3. Kaplan GMAT 800 2007-08 Edition
4. Kaplan GMAT Math WorkBook 5th Edition
5. Kaplan GMAT Verbal WorkBook 4th Edition
6. OG Review 11th Edition
7. Barrons (For Quant Theory)
8. Various Online Material (For Verbal and AWA)
I am from engg. background, plus I did most of the quant of above mentioned resources with great ease.
As of my actual exam experianece, RC was tough, but surprisingly quant appeared to be very tough. I simply couldn't get it, even the problem sums were presented so abstractly that they seemed more difficult than DS.
Could it be a coincidence or GMAC has recently changed the pattern of quant questions??
None of the quant on the test seemed to follow the pattern of any material i practiced.
My prep. was complete, in fact i was very confident about quant, i was only worried about time factor but never felt weak about the difficulty level of quant. i am feeling very low.
Please advice what should be my strategy to improve my score.
What other material for verbal and especially for quant should i practice to improve my score.
Regards,
Farrukh
