Help my dilemma

by Abigail Sun Aug 08, 2010 10:55 pm

Just took my GMAT and totally crushed. Have been scoring in 650. Please advise me some strategies to retake the test to get 700. As I have done all the OG material, I am not sure how to resolve my dilemma again. This is very upset. I have been preparing since May and studying diligently. Even though I got so nervous in exam and could not concentrate on the exam fully. Moreover, as for me, I am working in Japan now, so any good suggestion for me? Please advise what would be good preparation material to retake the test. Thanks a thousand ton.

By the way, when I google the question, Somebody copies your forum resource and uses it to make money. I'm not sure the subject I chose is right or not...anyway, I saw a number of your solutions on this website, where their posts are as same as those of MGMAT.

This is your original post.

I think this guy don't respect your copyright, maybe you should give him a lesson. So see how you look into the matter further and don't forget to backup the evidence.

Here is his contact info on his website:

Thanks, Abigail. I'll look into that. We do have a deal with some websites to mirror the contents of our own in different parts of the world, but I don't know whether this guy is on that list. I'm guessing probably not.

Okay, so to your question. I need some more data from you in order to give you good advice. First, what was your exact official test score, including your quant and verbal subscores?

Second, what kinds of scores were you getting on your recent practice tests? Did you take those practice tests under 100% official conditions (including essays)? If not, how did you deviate from official conditions?

Third, have you taken an MGMAT practice test recently? If so, do the analysis described in the below article and then come back here to post your analysis:

If you haven't taken an MGMAT practice test, you can sign up for one free test on our website. Alternatively, you can try to use the article to analyze a different test that you've taken - you'll just need to see whether that other test gives you the same kind of data.
