I am currently enrolled in a Manhattan GMAT prep course that just started last week. I took my first CAT exam (practice test) today and OMG...my score was 390!!! Yikes! Im devasted! I know a lot of it is my timing and I really need to be freshened up on my math skills. Also, I got pretty slow on the Verbal section as well because I pretty much had to guess the last 5 questions, and totally ran out of time on the very last one. This has definitely motivated me to go harder on my studying. I plan to take the GMAT in December...what should be my action plan moving forward to improve? Have there been cases where someone has been this low and made a significant improvement? Im starting to feel a litttle bit discouraged...im hoping the GMAT course will save the day!

Visit the Forums > I just beat the GMAT section. It will have all the advice/inspiration possible in your situation.

Basically, More practice = better scores. Don't be disheartened, most start small in the GMAT world.

"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."
