First Attempt (610: Q41, V34)

I'm happy I broke the 600's my first attempt, but I really had higher hopes.

I scheduled the test giving myself only 3 weeks to study, I really just wanted to get a score so I could start applying to Business schools. The first week of studying went well, but then I got distracted with midterms, and for that I'm disappointed. I really thought 680 was doable.

I really thought my strength would be the Q, as I scored in the 97th percentile on the SAT's, but that was four years ago. I really think I would have done better strait out of high-school.

Anyways, the GMAT may have won round 1, but I think I'll go for the knockout in round 2. I have so much ground to gain in the Quant section.
