any advice will be greatly appreciated!

many thanks,

if you arent able to find the answer for 2-3 mins, make a calculated guess and move on! You should be able to easily eliminate 2-3 options just by looking at them..

thanks for the reply. i read it after the exam but i m sure it would have helped. anyways, now i need some advice since i m planning on retaking the test. the test went horrible...mainly b/c my issue essay got skipped....how crazy rite!!...here is what happened: as i was making notes for the essay i saw this message on the screen that said the essay is incomplete and do i wish to continue? since i did n't press the next button i did n't know what the hell was going on so i clicked yes believing that it would take me back to the essay and i would be able to complete it (probably 5 mins had lapsed). contrary to it, i was completely taken off from the AWA Section and the next thing i read was that my time expired! i was so pissed!! anyways, then i called the admin guy and he came and told me to take the optional break and leave the room. he did n't know what to do either so he tried calling the regional office in India but that did n't work...some stupid phone problem then he decided to email them and told me to keep waiting outside and by this time the quant section had started....i had no clue and i totally lost all the focus i needed to get thru with the test...anyways, its a long story...u guys must be tired of reading this...sorry....moving on, i ended up waiting 35 mins outside and then was told to continue with the test...and i ended up taking it. the admin guy added additional time to cover for the lost time but it was all wasted as i could n't concentrate and was n't able to get myself back in the test...so that was my crazy experience

well, i emailed the gmac council...have n't heard from them yet...lets see what happens!!

my score is really bad and i really need to improve it within a month so in your opinion what would be the best way to get started.

all i did was half of OG (10th) entire ps, half of ds, half of reading comprehension, and skimmed over sc and critical reasoning. in verbal my score was pretty low and its probably cuz i did n't devote enough time....

u guys r gmat gurus so please advice me on how i can do good on this test.

many thanks
