I'm scoring super low on this test and am not strong on any one section. I'm scoring in the 400's. I have always done really well in school and have a high GPA and an impressive resume but for some reason cant get this test. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do or can do? Is there hope?
Its always been my dream to go to business school and at this point I don't think I could get into any credible school with a GMAT score so low.

Re: Super low score!
Don't get bogged down by the score . The only mantra to crack gmat is practice nothing else . Just make an aim and start practicing . I have seen super intelligent people getting pathetic scores since they didn't practice so it dosent matter whether you are Einstein of maths or verbal itself There is nothing better than a lot and lot of practice .
soon you will be able to increase your score in steps.
So the only two ingredients for that magical score you are looking for in Practice + More Practice + patience. That is it.

Re: Super low score!
Totally agree with kartikeya - lots of very smart people just don't do well naturally on these tests... but they can learn how! We just need to figure out why your score is where it is, that's all.
