I have taken 2 practice tests. My first attempt resulted as 390 and my second 420. However I need around 650 and have only 2,5 months left. I am also working in a fulltime job. I really am so worried that I won't make it and I don't know where to start. The less days I have left the more anxious and helpless I feel. Pls give me some advise.

Hello, Ozlemmetje. I am sorry to hear you are not scoring where you want to. While there is no one study strategy that can guarantee you a specific score, we have done some research on GMAT test-takers and their study habits: https://www.mba.com/us/the-gmat-blog-hub ... -gmat.aspx. We have found that students to study more tend to do better on the exam, so the best suggestion is to use your 2.5 months to study hard!

I also suggest you re-post this question in one of the main forum threads. This thread is to ask questions for GMAC, the makers of the GMAT exam and unfortunately we cannot offer you specific study strategies. However, if you post in the main forum, other students and test prep tutors will be able to offer you additional study tips and advice.

Good luck!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
