Hi everyone.
I am registered to take the GMAT on September 12th, 2013. I have been studying about 7 hours a day including weekends, since July. I am also registered for Veritas Prep classes which take place every tuesday and thursday for 3 hours from July 30th- Sept 5th. Even though I have been preparing for this test unlike any other test I have taken, I still find myself lost 90% of the time.
In high school I was never been good at math and now I find even the simplest problems hard. My biggest fear is that I see easy problems on the GMAT and will think those are hard, when they are extremely basic. Regardless of how much I practice I still forget concepts or find myself making silly mistakes because of the pressure for time.
I recently took a practice test without any prior knowledge about the test, as it was a requirement for the Veritas Prep Program. I scored so low (290) I immediately got discouraged and was positive I would not be able to pull through with even a "decent" score. I was not able to finish the test and left many questions blank.
After seeing that horrid score I have never felt so disheartened to go on. I am very hardworking and my whole life it has taken me quadruple the amount of time to learn something in comparison to others. I am not going to give up but I do not want to see a low score come test day.
Does anyone have any advice for me? I could really use any suggestions that could help me excel in my quest for a good score. Has anyone else felt this way?
