Hi Guys
I just beat the GMAT in my case. I needed a 650 and got through with a 660, which makes me happy
The first GMAT that I took was on the 13th of March 2009, so after a month and some days I took it again, and could improve by 50 points.
It's weird since I felt better while taking the test in the first attempt. This time I thought the quant questions were so easy and they never really got hard, which made me think that I was totally on the wrong path and could forget my dreams about getting into the school I wanted!
I didn't really prepare differently than for the first one and actually I studied not as much as last time, therefore I totally agree with a lot of people who once said "it's the quality not the quantity"
First attempt: 610 (Q43,V31)
Second attempt: 660 (Q44, V36)
I really think it's about understanding the concept and not about getting through all the questions. If you got what the GMAT Testmakers want to test, meaning what kind of strategies they use to confuse you, you got it and this leads even to scores up to 700 and more!
Seriously I think with a lot more organised preparation and a wise time management it is possible!
If somebody has any questions, feel free to ask
Last but not least: I want to thank this forum, it's great to have such engaged people here who are always ready to help each other! This community rocks and does a lot for actual and potential GMAT Takers! Thumbs up!
