ok 540 540 540

[kamo]

ok so I did the GMAT the first time I got a 420 , I hated my life , took it again got a 540 , I got some advice and it helped , and now its round 3, I have ben studying for a while but I am burning out , I need a 650 (for starters) , this exam is a barrier to numerous opportunities.

I took kaplan and I got 520 , 540 , 550 (practice tests)

I want to keep GMAT prep for later, I am doing OG 11 , I did OG Verbal , and OG quant , and Kaplan 800.

I still screw up on SC.

ANY SUGGESTIONS , ADVICE

THANKS

perhaps in order to you give good advice on what to study you could mention specifically what your strong and poor areas are.

What was your previous scores on Quant & Verbal

first time GMAT Q 26 V 21 420
second ime GMAT Q42 V23 540

SC and DS are hard. My study technique was to try to fully understand each and every question, whether I got it right or wrong, by reading over the explanation and then working it out for myself. If your study materials don't come with an explanation for each question, then I would recommend other study materials.

There's no magic bullet as far as I know... just pound away at SC and DS questions, and keep studying other areas, too. If you neglect your strong areas while studying now, you may see your score drop there or at least plateau. Take the low hanging fruit!

Best wishes,
