Totally confused and don't know what to do.

Hi Stacey

I have given two attempts but my score was around 500 both time. During their preparation, I used to solve all the problem of topic which was taught in class. I solved OG completely multiple times. But my marks never improved and are still constant.

Now, after 2 month break, again I tried to another attempt. But during diagnosist test, i realize I have forgotten many topics. I feel helpless than after solving every question that was available to me, I could got beyond 500.

Now, I don't know how should I begin preperation for my third attempt so that I can get 650 marks. Please tell me why how do i increase my marks. I am totally confused what to do, as I mentioned earlier I have completed many books but my marks are not increasing.

Thanks

I'm sorry that you're having a difficult time with this test.

You mention having done OG. What other resources have you been using to study? Have you been using our books, for example, or other books from test prep companies? Did you take a class? What class / what did it cover? Etc.

It's also possible that significant time management issues could depress your scoring level. Have you taken one of our exams?

First, read these two articles:

Think about how what you've been doing does and doesn't match up with that and how you may need to change your approach accordingly.

Then (if you have done one of our exams), use the below to analyze your most recent MPrep CATs (this should take you a minimum of 1 hour and it will likely take longer):

Finally, this may not apply to you, but is it possible that you will have to take the TOEFL or a similar test? (Many schools require the TOEFL or similar if your undergraduate schooling was in a language other than English.) If so, and if you haven't already taken that exam, you may want to take a break from the GMAT for now and focus on that exam first.
