590 -660 (Q45/V36)

Hi

I took the gmat for the first time in March 09 and wasnt surprised by the low score as it was pretty rushed. Got 660 this time...I was aiming for 700+ but would like advise on whether this is enough to at least secure an interview at London Business School. I have 4 years of banking experience, majored in computing. Appreciate any thoughts/experience anyone may have on this.

My take from the exam (same as the first time)..number theory and averages seem to dominate the exam each time. On the other topics, nothing challenging, just be comfortable with the basic concepts so that your nerves don't throw you off.

The verbal was pretty ok, 3 RC passages (1 of them was a bit of a nightmare so I guess there), CR was mixed and the SC looked pretty simple.

Congratulation on the 70 pts improvements. Only 3 RC's? How is math, can u see a lot of geometry?
