Hi eric777, This score shows that you have a pretty good grasp of the 'core' material that is tested by the GMAT. Unfortunately, we can't view this score as accurate because you skipped the IR section. On Test Day, once you factor in the the 'check in' time, 'orientation section' of the Test, Essay...

Took my first Manhattan GMAT (I've used up my free official ones) and scored a 640. 40 quant 37 verbal. I'm happy about that as compared to previous scores. This included writing the full-length essay but not IR. I'm not worried about the essay at all - it's the one area I'm naturally good at. Going...

Hi eric777, To start, many Test Takers find that training to face the GMAT is a challenging task, so you're not alone. When dealing with individual GMAT questions, it helps to remember that every aspect of each GMAT question is carefully chosen - the numbers involved, wording/descriptions and even ...

Hi eric777, I'm hoping that you can provide a bit more information about the work that you've done so far and your plans: 1) When did you take the Official GMAT (from your post, it's implied that you did so in January - but that seems to run counter to the plans that you discussed here: http://www....

Time for GMAT Round 2
Hello, I studied for awhile last year, and looking back I realize I did not study well at all, and after a month break without really studying took the GMAT and scored an expected 570. 32Q/35V, a 3 or something on IR, and 6 on the essay. I restarted my studies this January, and have been doing pract...

Hi eric777, You've made some nice improvements between these two performances. As an aside, the IR section actually has a lot in common with CR, so those performances will likely be 'linked' as you continue to study and improve. 1) Can you define WHY you feel compelled to move so quickly through th...

Go back over those verbal questions and determine what you needed to see more clearly in order to get them right. Also, next time you take a practice test, slow down when doing the verbal section, and also notice your attitude or what mode you are in when you are doing the verbal questions. The que...

I know probably nobody is reading this (and nobody cares since we're all concerned with our own GMAT scores but I wanted to report some progress: My first Official GMAT CAT score and timing was as follows: Test 1 480 Total 26 quant (47 minutes/ 75 used) 31 verbal (40 minutes / 75 used) 4 IR (28 minu...

Hi everybody. Thank you so much for the replies. I don't have a date set for the GMAT. I was planning on (and tell me if this is dumb) going through the 6-Month training guide, and then as I take the practice tests, sign up for the test once I'm able to score close to where I would like to be. I'm a...

Hi Eric. First, key, question. Are you doing practice questions on a timed or untimed basis? I mean, if even during practice you were seeking to get them done in 2 - 3 minutes, then my first suggestion would be to take as long as it takes to get them right, achieving a hit rate above 85%. Doesn't m...

Looking for a little advice, maybe words of encouragement
Hi everyone, I've lurked on here for quite awhile, and I started studying 6 weeks ago (about to start week 7) following the Magoosh 6 Month-GMAT study guide. I'm an engineer, but (as funny as this is) I'm not very good at math (though I believe I'm capable, just not experienced yet) because I spent ...
