What a bad day .

by Huss982 » Mon Nov 16, 2009 9:34 pm
I appeared for GMAT today , I got really crashed. I am so mad at myself and I don't know what to do. Any helps or suggestions would be really appreciated .
Guys i scored 300 which is considered to be an scary socre against the others scored that i have seen it in the exam day .
Anyway, i would be highly appreciated if someone could let me know what are the verbal books that i should focus on .. i have heard that MGMAT books are good .
Any help from anyone guys??? specially from the verbal side ( My English is my second language , Not an native Speaker ) .
Thank you in advance .
Hussein

Don't lose heart Hussein. English is my second language too, but i scored 41 (93 percentile)

Unfortunately, you can't be good at GMAT English overnight if you are a non-native speaker. You have to be an avid reader. Start reading articles from Economist (Economist.com) and read good non-fiction books on science, economics etc. Start reading a good English grammar book.

You should really improve your verbal score in 5-6 months if you follow this.

Hope this helps.
