Thanks for the encouraging words, mj. My background is an intel analyst for the Air Force. My job was heavily language focused, but I've always felt comfortable with math. My Quant score was a lot lower than I expected. I've already ordered the MGMAT OG companion and I'm going to plow through that f...

Take 1 = 650 |Lessons Learned + Need Advice for 1 month prep

Hi everyone, I finally took the GMAT today after a few months prep and scored a 650. It was bittersweet because I hoped for a score above 700, but 650 was in line (but on the low side) with my GMAT Prep scores. My breakdown was Q40(56%) and V39(87%) 650(79%). I am going to retake in six weeks, so I ...

Brian,

If they really are primarily testing higher-order thinking, then everything makes sense except Sentence Correction. Why do they put this evil section in the GMAT? I can't find a way to reason to the answer in SC!

Mock tests are not great tools for learning the material. You need books like MGMAT's for that. As for RC, I've used Veritas' and it's very effective

Once upon a time it was announced that the devil was going out of business and would sell all his equipment to those who were willing to pay the price. Over in the corner by itself was a harmless looking, wedge-shaped tool very much worn, but still it bore a higher price than any of the others. Some...

I've heard from several sources (can't recall but Veritas at least comes to mind) that applying to R1 and R2 are basically the same. You just want to avoid R3. Do you disagree? Sorry to digress, but it might help san2009 if he knows he can apply R2.

I've heard 5 times and more starts to look suspicious. However, if you get an 800 on your 10th time, I'm sure some B-school will find it in their hearts to forgive your previous efforts
