Re: Can not get over the bad mark

I'm sorry that you're having a frustrating time with this test. It's not an easy test.

Can you give me some more information? How have you been studying? What materials have you been using?

And let's dig into your study habits and your strengths and weaknesses. First, read these two articles:
https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/blog/what-the-gmat-really-tests/
https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/blog/the-second-level-of-learning-to-take-the-gmat/

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, use the spreadsheet and videos in your syllabus (these are available in all MPrep syllabi, including the free syllabus) to analyze your most recent MPrep CATs (this should take you a minimum of 1 hour and probably longer). Alternatively, you can use the below article to analyze your CAT, but note that the spreadsheet tracker you'll find in your syllabus is more thorough / lays out the steps for you.
https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/blog/analyze-gmat-practice-tests-part-1/

Based on all of that analysis, figure out your strengths and weaknesses as well as any ideas you have for what you think you should do. Then come back here and tell us; we'll tell you whether we agree and advise you further. (Note: do share an analysis with us, not just the raw data. Your analysis should include a discussion of your buckets—you'll understand what that means when you read the last article. Part of getting better is developing your ability to analyze your results—figure out what they mean and what you think you should do about them!)
