Just beat the GMAT 660-730

by lukebowes1234 » Sun Aug 30, 2015 10:03 am
Took the GMAT for the second time yesterday and scored a 730! I took the GMATPrep diagnostic around 8 weeks ago and scored a 660. One month later I took the GMAT and scored a 680. I was disappointed with my score and knew i needed to change the way I studied. After some research I enrolled in EmpowerGMAT. Best decision I made. After completing the program in 4 weeks I went into my GMAT with confidence! In 2 practice CAT's before my exam I scored 710 in both with 48Q. On the day I underperformed in Q with only a 44 but rocked the verbal with a 47!! 99th percentile, 96th overall. Thank you Empower and thank you this site for inspiration!

Congrats! Did you use the Scorebooster study plan (both Q and V or just one)?

I took the GMAT in July and scored a 670 (Q44 V38). I started using the Empowergmat Scorebooster (Q and V) study plan. I'm in the RC portion now. Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks!

I used the Scorebooster for both Q and V. I didn't really use RC since I don't struggle with RC at all. It helped tremendously with SC which was my biggest weakness. I know I could/should have scored higher on Quant. But 730 was my target and I got it! I feel like their Q is excellent also.
