What should be my target score?

by rabab » Wed Sep 10, 2008 8:36 am
Although I am not an Engg. student, but I had very detailed math courses until high school. But when I started practicing for the GMAT I found that I'm lacking in concepts, and taking more than required time to solve for the questions. It's been 10 days since I have started studying, but I feel deeply unmotivated because of my poor quantitative skills.

As for the verbal practice, it's not a wonder that I am lacking in the verbal section too since I am a non native english speaker! I am pointing out some of my major lacking in both Quant. and Verbal sections-

Problems in PS & DS Section:
1. Algebra applied problem
2. Arithmetic applied problem
3. Integers
4. Rate, time, distance problem


Problems in RC, CR & SC Section:
1. RC- lack of patience to read the whole passage & need to go through the passage over and over again.
2. CR- face difficulty in making inferences, conclusions etc
3. SC- somewhat okay with this section, but still need to improve.


---------
Now at this point, I really am confused from where should I start studying? How can I overcome my difficulties and lastly, how much should I target to score a safe 600+?
My exam date: Nov. 27 2008



Thanks

It looks like you are starting from scratch and need to plan a study strategy. Check out the GMAT Resource Directory. I want to call your attention to three links in particular: TwinnSplitter's Post, Ursula's Post, and the Beat The GMAT Blog

I consider these three links to represent best practices for self study. Good luck!

There is this great feature called "search" in this website, which is located on the top right side of this page.

For instance: if you type " twinsplitter" and click search:

You will find the link:
