Hi Mahattan Team

Im a 32 years, and Last year I realized that I need an MBA to improve my carrear. I decided to prepare by my self for the GMAT and i followed only the OG; I think did not work. I have taken two real teast and are performed badly in both

(Q 39/V 22) 520
(Q 42/V 29) 590

For both exams I had two weeks off in my work and i think that was not enought

I don't live in a city where an MGMAT course is offered so now I've been study per two month by my self, again, but my score does not improve at all. [590(Q 43 / V29) , 600 (Q 43 /V30) in the last two MCAT). So far i feel more confident with my answers

Im plannig to re take the GMAT this November and I am looking to im prove my score by a big way 660+.

Can you please give me any suggestion. Do you think that i need to wait until my MCAT scores will be around 660 to re take the exam?

I'm plannig to buy some books to improve my score but I'm not sure wich set of book should I need to buy.....the new ManhattanGMAt study guides (the 8 book set) or The Manhattan Review Turbocharge your Gmat (Math/Ver - Math/Verb Solutions)

Which one you recomend me to buy?? If there is de new Manhattan study guides could you give me any suggestions which book I should start with ???

Thanks
Regards

If you do want to improve your score significantly, it seems to me that you should look into private tutoring so that you can identify and improve the weakest aspects of your GMAT test-taking style. It seems to me that you have tried studying on your own in the past, but have not yielded positive results. Hence, continuing down that path whether it be in the form of our 8 ManhattanGMAT Study Guides or our competitor's Turbocharge Guides would be fruitless. (As a side note - I just wanted to clarify that ManhattanGMAT and Manhattan Review are two SEPARATE companies.)
However, if you have a GMAT Instructor by your side, you will gain particular insights that you may have overlooked while studying on your own. Keep in mind, however, that improving your score in a significant manner will take time and hard work, and aiming to take the GMAT in November is, in all honesty, a bit unrealistic if you really do want to improve your score by 70 - 80 points.
What I would suggest doing is to look into our virtual private tutoring options and then make a follow-up phone call to Student Services at 800-576-4628. This way, we can speak with you directly on the phone and provide you with a test prep regimen that will help you improve your score. Also, feel free to e-mail us at studentservices@manhattangmat.com with any further questions.

Best,
