btw 730 is ur first attempt? Its very high!
wow... wat type of sch r u aiming for!Yeah, first and last time. Now just waiting for AWA scores to come. My thoughts before taking the test was to resched another appointment if score<700. if score = 710 or 720 I'd have to consider whether or not to retake depending on my V & Q breakdown. Score>730 never again. I honestly don't think even if I do better on another one and score 750-770, that its going to make a difference to the B schools. If they're gonna ding me at 730, they'll ding me at 750 or even 770. Especially since my verbal and quant were both over 80 percentile and wasn't really too skewed. Plus I don't even want to think about the possibility of scoring lower on a 2nd try.
Don't worry, i'm sure you can score 700+ too. GMAT is not a test of intelligence. Its a test of exam taking skills and fundamental math and grammar concepts that can be memorized.
I've sent you my phone number by pm. I won't be available today but you can definitely come by during a weekend afternoon. I'm located west.
Also, please base your decision to retake or not on what schools you are targeting. If a top 10 bs, yeah its worth the incremental effort to pump that number up to at least a 680. 640 would put you way out of 1 s.d. from the mean. You can make it of course, but why risk it. If a lower tier, 640 may be sufficient that time could be better spent on prepping your essays.
nope i did not use, but now will try to use... thanks for the tip.Did you use the manhattan GMAT guides.. Those are a MUST... all 6 books.. Using the MGMAT, i managed a 710 on my 2nd try.. 1st try was a 660 though
two thing which cannot study is the reading comprehension and AWA
Absolutely not. Especially AWA, as it is easy to memorize a standard template for both essay types.
I just scored 640 in my first exam... not very lousy, but not very good either... going to retake again... jin moody
