I got a even worse at the first time. I tried to find out what was the problem, and I thought that the failure might because I didn't commit myself to this exam. I decided to respect this exam and started to learn every odds and ends about GMAT.
I read "princeton Crack the GMAT" to get familiar with this exam I digged into the Manhattan SC to build up a concrete concept about grammar I studied Powerscore to understand fully the logic fallacies I read 3 passages a day to train my reading Finally of course I did a OG12 twice, blue Verbal, 5 Manhattan Cats and 3 Prep to apply the theory and pace myself.
I thought my schedule was good and I became more confident at this exam. Of course I couldn't make it perfect. I had to admit that I could not get a 700 within 1 month, but I didn't expect a <600. I don't think I deserve it.
When I retrospected this time, I found that I already built up an OG-way of thinking when doing the excise. Brick by brick, I realized that GMAT is not unconqurable! It is just an exam~I learned a lot in this month. At this moment, although the best way might be to do it again, I didn't want to think about retake!
At most of the time, I feel intimidated because I hear so many people say 680 is bad, 700 is not good enough. In fact, can anybody tell me how many people get 700+. Do all of we have to go Wharton, Sloan? I know that there be the best place to go, and thinking of going there is aggressive and enterprising, but I have to say stuck on a score make me really feel uncomfortable.
GMAT is a war game. Sun Tzu said, "If you know then enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battle. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." I believe that I already know both the enemy and myself, then the best strategy this time may be "to halt my troops, presenting a bold front to conceal a weak defense."
Again I have to say I respect those who can manage to retake N times, and feel happy for those who get high scores. For my own part, unfortunately, if GMAT was a friend of mine, then I think we just not that into each other.
