crestfallen with PowerPrep results!
hi,
Today i gave a powerprep test (PP2)- the complete test including AWA section. (It was the first test in which I attempted AWA section.) I am highly depressed by the results - I scored merely 630(49Q,27VA). This is my lowest score in last 4 tests which I gave. Is it because of AWA section that literally sucked my brains or its just that i got lucky the other 3times ? PowerPrep - 630, 49Q,27VA(25/June/2008) Tests without AWA: Kaplan online diagnostic test - 680 (22/June/2008)54Q,37VA Crack Gmat diagnostic - 700 (18/June/2008) GMAT Prep 1 - 650 (18/May/2008) 49Q,33VA I started preparing one week after I gave first GMAT Prep, thats exactly one month back. I scored 650 before starting preparation, so i thought that I could very well score 710+ after one month of preparation(I can not further delay the test date due to busy work schedule in the coming month). I am more worried since i have GMAT in 4days from now. Please suggest what can I do to motivate myself. i am planning to give GMAT prep tommorrow. If results of that test too do not turn out to be good then .. :-( Please adive..... |

Just relax
Powerprep heavily penalizes if you make mistakes in the first 10 questions. I believe, GMATPrep does not follow the same algorithm as Powerprep. I would suggest giving another Gprep. Gpep is the closest to the real thing. Good luck ! |

Hi manish1005,
I took the GMAT twice this year and I really know what you are feeling. The first step is relax. In my opinion, you could take another Test of the GMATPrep Software tomorrow and no more. I think that is better for your mind to have some rest and relaxation. If your GMAT will be in 4 days, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow read all the topics for AWA (Friends.. Just 4 more days for my GMAT... Please help!!), Issues and Arguments. This will help you to be familiar with the topics and skip any "strange" word in case you are non native speaker  Then, put your books into a drawer, shut down the computer and go out with your familiy or your friends. Believe me. If you relax your mind, you would be able to concentrate in a better way on the Real Exam. I hope this helps you. Let us know about your GMAT experience and your great Score. Good Luck  |

hey all, finally i took gmat yesterday and scored 700(48Q,38VA) Quant was a big disappointment for me. In practice tests i was doing well in quant but yesterday i have no time left for 5-6 questions. I also noticed that in my test there were hardly 14-15 questions of simple quant and others were all data sufficiency ones!!
When i started the preparation a month back 720-730 was my target score but I am content with 700 now.  |
