Congratulations - I am in the exact same boat. Took mine about 25 days ago and received the same score with 700 level scores on my practice exams. A 690 makes you think quite a bit. I've reached out for a ton of feedback and my understanding is that a 690 is good to go for top tier if you can pair i...

A bit of advice - 690 GMAT

First of all, thanks for taking the time to give me an evaluation. I recently took my GMAT, scoring a 690 (43Q/41V) - a bit skewed - (92%V/68%Q). My undergraduate GPA is very strong at 3.9 (majored in Finance), and I have spent the past 3 years at a top consulting firm. I'm currently targeting UNC, ...

Thanks very much Lisa - your comments really help. I just noticed I made a typo on my post, however. My quant was 68% and verbal was 92% - quite the typo. Does this change the outlook? Despite the average performance in quant, my coursework concentrated on finance, heavy in quantitative analysis. Th...

Advice Needed - 690 GMAT

Thank you in advance for your help - it is greatly appreciated. I recently took my GMAT, scoring a 690 (43Q/41V) - unbalanced - (68%V/92%Q). My undergraduate GPA is strong at 3.9 (Finance major), and I have spent the past 3 years at a well known consulting firm. I'm currently targeting Kenan-Flagler...

Had the same problem...

I unistalled it, restarted my PC, and re-installed - fixed it.

Good luck.

Wow, reading your post really scares me. I just took mine one week ago and got a 690 with a 92% verbal and 68% quant. I am getting mixed feedback on whether I need to take again and I'm with you - I cannot look at another math problem. 3 months of studying was enough. I can definitely empathize with...

Thanks to all for your input. After a couple days to stew over 10 pts, I think I'll be moving onward with the 690. I was starting to hit burnout right before the exam, leading me to believe another month of studying wouldn't be helpful. Going along with VP Jim, most of the people I've reached out to...

If that is true about it accepting my score without hitting confirm it will help me sleep.

Thanks very much for the input.

690 - Mixed Feelings

I just returned from my test this morning and I have mixed feelings about my 690 (43Q 41V). It is a strong score, but I have a horrible taste left in my mouth, because I made a careless mistake: I did not press "confirm" in time for my last question on verbal to be submitted, causing me ru...
