DIDNT BEAT BUT GOT ACCEPTED

An end to a long long battle!!!! I started in summer, took a total of 3 GMATs (370,440,430) but I was finally accepted at St Johns University in Manhattan. I think the fact that i called their office twice a day for about 2 weeks might have had something to do with it. Because when they called me to...

Yeah i finished all the questions. If i didn't know the answer for a certain question after one try and knew that i wouldn't be able to figure out in the next minute or so i would just guess.

I just don't like how you are labeled stupid if you cant get a 500. If someone wants to go to school they should be able to.

GMAT is a scam

They make it ridiculously hard so they can make money off us! I took it 3 times, $750! And $1400 on tutoring! URGH. And still cant break a 500. Its honestly stupid that schools put so much weight on one test when there are so many other things to take in to consideration. Like my nice 3.4 undergrad ...

OG 11th Edition

Hi.
In the OG the questions in each section start easy and get harder. Does anyone know at what question number does it get in to 500-600 level difficulty? because right now they seem easy.

Thanks so much! One more question..

I kept hearing that you shouldn't study the day before the test? Why is that? because my mom seems to think i am crazy. So Im trying to come up with a convincing argument for her and myself lol
