GMAT Prep

Anyone else out there completely discouraged by studying for the GMAT? Last night I worked on sentence correction for 2 hours straight. How dumb can I possibly be? I didn't know I couldn't speak, read, or write the English language. This is absolutely ridiculous. Is this test designed to see how stupid you can feel about yourself??

same!
I've been trying to persistently study for the GMAT; i started and stopped quite a few times, but this time I'm intent on toughing it out and take the exam mid/end of February. My issue isn't just that the test makes me feel dumb, but it's almost as if i have ADD - I lose concentration after an hour - must work on that. good luck on yours :)
any advice?
I completely agree with you!! And trying to take a practice exam at home - yeah right!!! I could think of a million of other things to do right then - let's say - folding laundry, pulling weeds, matching socks, cleaning up dog poop in the backyard....anything but 3 hours of staring at the computer! How in the world am I going to make it through the actual test?
Since I'm not concentrating very well - I'm making stupid mistakes. I'll do the practice problems and then check my answers and slap myself in the forehead because I was just going too fast.
I'm taking the actual test February 19th. I'll cross my fingers for you if you do the same for me!!

i laughed out loud when i read this on your blog about sentence correction! i felt the same way - really started to drag on my self-esteem, since i consider myself a fluent writer/reader of grammar (as i write this, i'm aware that it isn't in appropriate sentence structure with capitalization). many times i've been on the subway to work or back, trying to hide my geometry, number properties, or sentence correction books! how old am i now?!! anyway, thanks for the laugh and we're all in the same boat.
