  1. Hi guys.. my first attempt got me a score of 470. i was devastated because i was scoring better in practise tests. but yesterday, my score was 550, Q(43) V(23). From what i have planned, i am looking for at least a score of 600 to get into the school that i want. I hold a bachelors degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and Masters in Energy Engineering. I plan to pursue Msc in Finance. I just hope this time i reach past 600. I have gone through all of the Manhattan Guides and OG11 and 12. In my recent exam, I almost ran out of time on last 4 questions and had to make educated guess, but then finally managed to get last 2 questions right. I don't know what happened in Verbal. Maybe because i gave more attention to quant in my prep that i didn't do well in Verbal. And another thing, i ran out of time on the last question in verbal and ended up not attempting it. In my first attempt, i was so tensed that i froze in my seat for many questions, panicked over not understanding quant questions and finally screwed it. This time my nerves was far in peace and i panicked only when i realized i am not going fast enough. But i took all the breaks and went to restroom and calmed myself. I really want to do better. this month, i am planning to do lot of tests and practise questions, zoom in and check out my weaknesses in verbal and work out on that because I am still fresh on my last prep. My next exam is scheduled on April 3rd. Any suggestions, confidence boost, opinions, anything would help me now as I am really feeling like a failure.
  2. Hi gnat, you are very much right!!! i was so scared, i bet my life on this, stupid me. i felt if i didnt ace this test, i failed in life or something. initially i used to prep for my GMAT endlessly, almost tiring myself. now i give myself some good breaks, go through everything slowly and not going forward until i understand it completely. it kind of makes the prep interesting. i am more calm now as gmat does not look like this scary thing in my head :p anymore. but i am little worried that as the days go by and test date come near, my fears might resurface again. i dont know. i will have to take some mind exercises. anyways, thanks gnat!!!!.... i will post my progress :)
  3. Hi 800, Ever since you told about OG10 and OG11, i have collected those materials and included in my prep. I am going through my mgmats and maybe, a week may not be enough :) i am yet to find out. Thanks a lot!!!
  4. Hi missionGMAT, Thanks a lot for your reply. you know what???? you made a lot of sense with the reply. i have not thought about analyzing my mistakes this way. i realise now that in every part of the test i make mistakes in almost the same kind of questions, probably not well prepared in that. Anyways, i am going to prepare with my weaknesses in mind, Thanks again, you helped me a lot :)
  5. hi guys, i have given my GMAT 2 days earlier and scored a 470!!!... i dont know what happened when i consistently got in the range of 550-590 in my prep tests. my target was atleast 600(i have a specified school in mind). i was almost sure that i will remain in 550 range and planned to retake the test, but when i saw a 470, i dont know if my preps will even help!, i am so depressed to see my score that i lost the trust in my ability to prep for the exam, i have done og twice and went through some other materials. i knew i wasnt good enough, but i didnt know i was this bad. i want to retake the exam and score atleast 150 points and above. can anyone help me plan my study???. i will only register for gmat after i feel a consistent increase in score in prep tests, so i am giving my self atleast 3 months time, how does that sound?? will i be able to increase 150 points in 2 months time? i am willing to keep my entire social life for this, i am already a graduate and have plenty of time with me before the exam. please guide me anyone, i am in desperate need for help. thanks P.S I am planning to go through manhattan 8 strategy guides and giving a week for each of them and going through og again. is this enough?? or do i need to go through more?? please suggest:(
