Hi,

I downloaded the GMATPrep software and completed 90 sample questions (15 questions from each of the 6 multiple choice sections; IR, RC, SC, SC, PS, DS). I sat down today and did a GMATPrep timed practice test and got a score of 600. Can anyone comment on whether this is a good score given my preparation?

FWIW, I used the full 30 mins to complete the AWA section and wrote 4 paragraphs.

Thanks,

Thanks,
Most test-takers, after completing their GMAT prep, score lower than 600. So, your baseline score is
fantastic.

Cheers,

Hi hwang327,

Since you've posted this in another Forum online, I've copied over my responses (other site visitors might be interested in the discussion):

To start, a 600 is a strong 'baseline' score (the average score on the Official GMAT hovers around 540-550 most years). With these Scaled Scores, you're going to have to make some significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections to hit your score goal.

You seem comfortable with the idea of investing in a GMAT Course of some kind, so that you can receive consistent, professional guidance and so that you can learn all of the patterns, tactics and 'secrets' of the GMAT (without having to try to figure out all of that stuff on your own). Most GMAT Companies offer some type of free materials (practice problems, Trial Accounts, videos, etc.) that you can use to 'test out' a product before you buy it. We have a variety of those resources at our site (www.empowergmat.com). I suggest that you take advantage of all of them then choose the one that best matches your personality, timeline and budget.

If you have any additional question, then you can feel free to contact me directly.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
