Another Try

by captain18 Sat Aug 27, 2011 1:36 am

Hi everyone,
I gave my GMAT on the 10th of August this year.
I got a 600. (Q-39, V-34).
Finally I have zeroed down on my weakness, Mathematics).
Prior to the test, I had given many practice tests, including ManhattanGMAT, and they all proved helpful in some way or the other. However, the closest practics tests were the GMATPrep.
Now, I want to study Mathematics and target my weak areas (while at the same time retaining/increasing my hold over Verbal). I am hoping to increase my section scores to (Q- 45 to 50, and V - 36-42). I plan to give another shot at the GMAT by the end of September.
I will be very grateful for any suggestions on this forum.

Happy to help! First, did you take our course? If you did take the course or one of our Guided Self-Study packages, then you're eligible for a free Post-Exam Assessment. This is a phone call with an instructor to figure out what went wrong and come up with a plan to re-take the test. If this applies to you, please send an email to studentservices@manhattangmat.com and request the Post-Exam Assessment.

We can also help you here (though if you do qualify, definitely do the PEA - it's a lot more in-depth!). Analyze your most recent MGMAT test using the below article, then come back here and share your analysis:

Note: if your most recent test was under very non-official conditions, you may want to pick a test that was under more official conditions. Tell us how you deviated from official conditions on the practice test (that includes the essays!). Finally, make sure to share your analysis with us, not just the data itself. Tell us what you think it means - that's a good skill to develop. :)
