700 - but don't have the time to retake - The Beat The GMAT Forum

I got a 700 (49 Q, 38 V)

I saw one guest's score on this forum - 710 (49 Q and 36 verbal). Really don't understand why should I get 10 points less overall for getting 2 points higher in one of the sections

Any clue??

All I can say is that I am not a happy person after G-day. With a little more preparation, I can increase my score to a 740-750 but I do not have the time to take the test again. Guess will have to live with this not so good figure and move on..

PS: This is a great forum and I will be here in future as well (yeah you guessed it right, only on the Math section as I HATE verbal)

Congrats, montz! A 700 is a great score will definitely make you competitive as a business school candidate. Even if you could retake and score 50 points higher, I think that the benefits would be marginal--you're probably better off focusing on developing high-quality apps.

Best of luck!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
