Very sad 580 Q44 V25

by melon » Thu Dec 08, 2011 6:32 pm
I worked very very hard. Almost 4hrs a day on week days and 5 to 6 hrs on week ends. I solved all the OG,Kaplan, went through Mgmat for SC and few topics in maths. I gave Mgmat and 800score tests
I was consistently score 660 and above.
I also maintained an error log and solved those problems once again.
I am having a hard time figuring out what went wrong.
I thought the Quant in the main exam was way easier than Mgmat tests. English too was manageable.
I was able to spot the mistakes in SC.
Can some one please help me understand what could have gone wrong. Its very important for me to know what went wrong so that I can correct it.
I don't want all this time and effort I already put into the exam go down the drain. So kindly please help me out.

You probably just had an off day.Forget about this and attempt again. If you are capable of scoring 660 in MGMAT tests then you should at least get 700 on the real test. Good luck.

Even I was surprised, I felt that the test was going well.Maths etc I was able to solve with ease in the main exam, but I am surprised y I scored so low.Even english, I was very well in control, i was able to identify the mistakes in SC, RC was cool and CR was easy as well. very disappointed.very very disappointed.

Easy way to get a 50 or 51 in math is to just do 15 to 20 pages in the BTG on both DS and PS.. I can give you guarentee on this. Now I score a consistant 50 or 51 in maths. No better book than BTG.
Our experts are most active on math forum.
First take: 640 (50M, 27V) - RC needs 300% improvement
Second take: coming soon..

HSPA, is that an actual math book available or are you just referring to another section on this forum?
