Beaten today..660 (Q47, V35)

by xeqtr » Wed Apr 09, 2008 3:22 am
well I just came back from test center. I am kinda sad since this was not what I expected. I never scored this low in Q in my tests, never even scored below 680. I dunno what was wrong, just had a damn headache in Q, I generally got slower in questions and had to guess like the last 4 Qs :(( poor timing probs killed. Verbal was OK since this is my average leave, my range was between 33-38 in practices. I dunno I really motivated myself to go over 700 and I am ruined now. Not even sure if Q 47 is OK for Finance masters..GMAT was my chance to prove my strong Q side..

Congrats man! But dnt mind - with a score like 34 in V and 47 in Q, how come ur total score become so low? Though 660 is not a bad score at all ... Do a fight again, if u wish and I am sure that u can then crack the GMAT ...
Correct me If I am wrong

well I dont think that I'm gonna retake it since it's gonna be too late once I retake it for applications, I think my score is OK considering my 47 in Q, if it was near 49-50 I would be around 700 I guess.

No I'm gonna apply to European schools, so till the end of April I bet it is best to apply. I'm not considering US right now, if I did I'd prepare more.

Is it 30 days that has to pass in order to re-take the exam??
