I beat HALF the gmat! (680, V44, Q40) When/If to retake?

With only two weeks to study, I managed to slay half the GMAT (V44, 97th percentile) and do so-so on the other half (Q40, 52nd percentile). Time management was a major issue in the quant section. I think I was doing well on answering questions correctly, because they were all pretty complex and word...

That's a good point. What DID I do the day before a section of the CPA exam? I'd review key equations and study points from my weak areas and do a few random problems from each area. Then I'd go back and review the key equations again. I'd also pull out a totally new source of information (any kind ...

Last 24 hours, only had 2 weeks to study

All right, I had just over 2 weeks to study for a last-minute stab at the GMAT, as the school I was going to attend decided to wait to start the next cohort until Spring. So I madly put together 3 more applications and am sitting for the GMAT TOMORROW after just a couple weeks of studying. Last week...

Score reporting at test center?

Do you need to have the codes with you for the schools to whom you are reporting? Or just the school names? I have been unable to find the codes for 2 of the 3 schools to whom I wish to send my report. The other two schools just have addresses and fax numbers listed. Do I need to bring that informat...

They only ask a certain number on questions on each math topic (3-4) so when they exhaust that topic they go on to the difficult questions on the next topic. Thus, the difficulty only gets harder to a certain point. I think they have about 3 difficulty levels (medium, moderate, and high).

OG Integrated Reasoning extra questions - website?

I have set up my account for the Integrated Reasoning content online that comes with the Official Guide, however I forgot the stupid card at home that has the web address on it. I've googled to no avail.

Anyone have that web address?

Thanks!
Erica.

GMAT Practice tests - how accurate?

I took the full-length practice exam today from the GMATPrep software. I scored 40 on verbal, 42 on Quant and 8 on IR. 670 overall. How accurate can I expect these score to be? Honestly, I was surprised at the score. I ran out of time on IR and Quant with a couple questions unanswered on each. I was...
