Dear fellow members,
I re-took the GMAT last week and have got shattered by the low score that I have got - 540 (Q 38, V 26)! I first took the GMAT in October 2010 and got 510 (Q 42, V 20) so, I decided to work hard to prepare well in order to get a good score. I prepared for about 2 years by stealing as many seconds as I could from my hectic work schedule and social life. The study materials that I referred to are: -
1). MGMAT Study Guides
2). Powerscore CR Bible
3). Books of quantitative from 4GMAT
I have never been a good performer even at the times when I was in school and college; I never crossed the mark of 65% in any subject in any course and in any class. So, my quantitative is weak and since I am not the native speaker, my verbal is obviously weak.
I am a B.E in Information Technology and have an experience in IT sector that is now close to 8 years. I agree to the fact that my experience may complement the low score but not 540. Moreover, there is nothing attractive in my profile that may attract the admissions committee: neither extra curricular activities nor academics nor the quality of experience in job as I am still a coder.
Before my second attempt, I got 620 and 610 in GMAT Prep 1 and 2 respectively. The score predictor of Grockit predicted 640.
After taking GMAT twice, I now feel that I know the concepts but I fail to apply them. I HAVE to know and learn the ways to apply the concepts.
Although shattered, I am ready to take this bull with its horns for the third time. Please help!
Thanks!
