540@ Kaplan

by abhijit.sontakey » Sat Jun 23, 2007 11:01 am
Hi,
I am shattered after getting a 540 on Kaplan.
Math - 39
Verbal - 24.

I had taken Princeton and my scores were as:

CAT2 - 660
CAT3 - 640.

I have just one 1 month for GMAT. I take a long time for Critical reasoning questions (3.5 mins). Should i postpone my date or is it possible for me to get a 700+ score in a month's time. I really need guidance. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Abhijit

Do not read into your Kaplan scores too much. Kaplan tends to misrepresent your scores by skewing down by 60-100 points. They are good practice, but the scores are meaningless in my opinion.

Agreed. GMATPrep and Princeton Review will give you a better idea of your potential score.
