Hey everyone, this is my first post on this site, I sure wish I would have found it earlier though...So, today I took the GMAT, first time ever, I just recently graduated from the University of California, Davis and am now fearing the worst. Basically, my goal was to get at least a 500 on my GMAT'S. I'm applying to CSU Sacramento for their MBA Program. Basically, if you have a 2.5 GPA, 500 Total Score, > 30 Percentile on both math and verbal, and > 4.5 on the AWS, then you are GUARANTEED admission. Unfortunately, as of now I only have the GPA part taken care of. I graduated with a BS degree is Managerial Economics, one of the hardest/most sought after major's offered by any UC campus (the Dept. has a 2.2 avg GPA). Anyhow, I have two letter's of rec...Should I even bother turning in my App? I have no work experience, I don't know what to do, I feel like a complete failure. I took geometry back in the 8th grade, throughout high school I tested out of all additional math related classes since I took Trig at a CC in the 9th grade. Stupid move. Anyhow, 2.8 UCD GPA, 3.33 CC Transfer GPA, 3.13 Combined, 2 lettter's of Rec., a beautiful written essay, and all the fixin's except work experience. I'm scare grad school is falling farther and farther away....I need help!!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

Last but not least, I graduated this past Dec. 15th, I began studying roughly Jan 1st, but pretty much spent probably a grand total of 5 hours studying and pulled a 420 - I need a 500 with the verb/quant scores > 30%/. Suggestions? I have a princeton review book that I tried studying which proved to be quite irritating.

You need to concentrate both on Quant and Verbal. I think you are missing Official Guide 11 from you study material. If just go through that you will be able to score > 500.

And if you are looking for a higher score, get kaplan math and verbal books.

I don't know what steps to take, or what to do. I need to get my MBA with an emphasis in finance in order to lock in a state job. I've always done terrible on standardized tests, honestly, because I never really cared for them. A lot of users on this board are scoring 600+ which is amazing in my book, but hell, all I need is a 500 with 30%tile on both the math and verbal to get in. I've gotten pretty much straight A's in all my Finance, Management, Investment, Corporate Finance, etc. classes but can't do squat on the GMAT. Go figure....I'm buying the Kaplan practice books tomorrow. I just need a 500!!!! Help!!!!!

If you have spent two months on OG, a score of 550 is possible.

I agree with cjiang16 and simplyjat over here. Rather than buying kaplan, which is needed for higher scores, I would buy OG11 and solve questions from it. If you spend enough time with OG 11 you should be able to score 500+
