- GMAT Score:720
Perhaps for many people 680 would be a low score! But I'm very happy about it, I'm sure it will enable me to get into some good school! Hooray!! Thanks to this forum, it really helped me a lot and gave me courage!! I started with a GMATPrep and got a 590 cold. After 7 weeks of study (I studied by myself, no external help!) I made it to 680 (Q43, V40)!! I'm so happy!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One year after this post, I decided that 680 wasn't enough. Competition was going up, I decided to apply to top10 schools... so here I am again, studying (again) for the gmat! The monster came back to hunt me, but I plan to hunt it back this time!
I've been studying for around 2 months. I plan to apply next year, so I have plenty of time. I've focused (for the first month), only on the Verbal part of the test. That is my strongest part, but I feel like I can well improve it. I've dedicated a lot of time to CR and SC. Well, both my last two MGMAT practice tests showed 45 in V, so I believe I'm on the right track!
Math is definitely my weakest part, not because I hate or dislike math, but because I haven't studied math at college level almost at all. So it took/is taking longer; i've hired a provate tutor who's helping me a lot, a real GMAT guru who can teach me how to think about problems and what's the logic behind problems. My aim is 48.
Yesterday I took my first full MGMAT test (MGMAT3) and I got a 740 (Q47, V45). I must say that I found a repeat in the Q part and I took 6 minutes more than normal time to complete the test. Still I have a lot of review to do yet, and I'm pretty happy with the improvement so far!
I'll keep you guys posted!!
