Got 680(q50 v30 totall 85 %) -- only one month study

by s1s1s1 » Mon Dec 19, 2011 12:14 am
I usually heard that one month study is a bit too little to beat the GMAT! but I had only one month. I know If had just one more month I could get a +700.
SO! I'm writing here to encourage ones who have a little time and think they won't make it. it's possible if you just concentrate on The important Things and ignore others. the point is: too much information is just as bad as little information. omit redundant staffs you have gathered to study and focus on what's best.
what's best for one month study: only and only Official Guide and GMATPREP. of course it's when you know the basics about math and grammar.
don't hesitate to ask me any question, I'll be glad to be any of help.

Well done s1s1s1 :)

My test is on 22nd Jan and I am kinda scared. I am preparing from official guide as well as Manhathan books (edition 4). I am working full time, so its kinda difficult to accommodate studies in an already busy routine. But i am trying to do at least some every day.

I suck big ... REALLY BIG... in Data sufficiency :(

I had same perception about GMAT, took the test after prolonged on and off preparation.

But it is still a test.. I went in with clear mind(no distractions during the test) and scored a 690. I never hit that score in the prep tests. I am working full time, managing a highly intensive project(10 resources), have a working wife and a kid, active in the social stuff like partying.

So, chin up practice more of that DS section, re-do your mistakes/errors and go in to the test with nothing but positive attitude..You will be successful.

thx.
as our other friend said here, have no worry.
I agree DS is tricky, so more work is needed to know all the tricks!
I think doing all DS questions in OG will do you good.
BE confident
