Hi Guys, i'm quite new with this forum. I have petroleum engineering background and currently working for national oil company as an strategic planner here in Thailand. I do really wanna pursue MBA program in one of the top business school to enhance my skills in business. I have a strong-willed to lead my state-owned company to worldclass standards. Hehe, acytually I might be the first person who have technical background and need to pursue MBA in the company.

Anyway, just a bit confused if this score is good enough for those schools. Should I retake the exam??

Hi kaweewut,

Your GMAT score is absolutely within the range of any top business school. Instead of retaking the test, I recommend you now spend your time developing a quality application that really makes you stand out.

You're score is fine. Now concentrate on the rest of the apps. And as long as you have good Quant score, don't bother about a relatively low Verbal score. Good luck.

Hey kaweewut,
That's a good score for all top B-schools. As long as your rest of the application is stellar, you can have a best shot. And congratulations for beating the GMAT

"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."
