Hi All,

I appeared for my GMAT on Sunday, 28th Sep and got 710 (Q49/V38). I am not really happy about my score ( :( ) as i was scoring much better in my prep cats and was hopping to get something close to 740. But then i guess i screwed up in Quant (got 51 in all of my mocks..including the Manhattan mocks).

Anyways i think that this should be a decent score as i feel that giving the gmat again and geting 740 may not make a big difference and if i need 750+ then i will have to study for atleast for another 1 month. Dont have that much time since i need to look for a job as well (was with Lehman Bros.) :oops:

What do you guys feel about this? Should i give it again with a target of 750-760 or apply with 710? I told you what i feel is right but need more opinions on this. Please note that i am from India and working in IT (one of the biggest pool of candidates applying for MBA)

Also, I need some names of Books that are helpful for preparing your application for MBA. Jist tell me the names of the good ones....i dont mind in buying one of those...

Awaiting responses.

710 is not a bad score at all.

IMO its an excellent score but
how good it is will depend on what all schools you are targetting at and also your overall profile.

All the best!!
