Devastated by 610

by singhag » Thu Aug 20, 2009 12:00 pm
I am typically IIM(Indian IT Male) with 5 year of work experience. I want to make it big MBA school. As I was an average performer and not very good with verbal and maths, I have put the dedicated effort for three month...going through all the possible material.

But today I was completely devastated after scoring 610 M49 V25...lowest score I have got so far in verbal as compared to Mock exams...I have been consistent scoring above 33 in Manhattan mocks...dont know what has happened.

My only chance to get into MBA college is to secure the admission next year. I have to score atleast 700+ next time else it seems my MBA will remain a dream.

Please help me to plan for next 2 months...i need to bounce back.

Manhattan Guides

I would concentrate heavily on the Verbal Sections. The Manhattan books are great in my opinion. I just started studying a week or so ago. I'm jealous of you guys who do so well in quant. I feel like the only reason my Verbal is strong and my Quant is lower is b/c English is my native language. It may take a little more work if that is not the case for you, but I know you can kill it with practice! Keeping reading the guides carefully and make note cards of the details.
