Just another depressing GMAT: I scored a 610. Tik tak, tik tak. Time is passing by, I finished the first 10 days of my course and I am not progressing at all: bummer. Depressing? Yes. Give up then? Never
So what am I doing wrong? Well, next to mistakes due sloppiness there seems to be a pattern in the questions I miss or which just take too long, and since time is very important in this test (1:50 for each question) missing questions is as important as wasting time, because you will miss easy questions later on.
Types of questions I miss:
- Questions with a lot of text which you have to convert to a formula take a long time. Sometimes I have to read it twice to understand the problem and then I have to write the formulas and solve them. I hope this will improve doing a lot of English.
- Second I miss a certain type of questions which ask me te describe behaviour of primes, factorials or integers.
- The third category of question I tend to do wrong are rate questions. Combined with the fact that these have a lot of text, these account for quite a few of my missers.
- Then the rest of the missers are percentage (interest) or geometry questions.
Detection is one thing, improving another. Go go go

yes something to say my love, keep on trying keep on…. it’s like … mmm very nasty, well it’s like the first time when you were just a kid, trying and trying, with one hand with two; and when you’ve reached the TOP, the succesful nirvana, so great, mmmm something like that you should experience with your GMAT (not really of course, otherwise I give up)
