Find you from the schools (that you're applying for) whether 620 is sufficient to get an admit.

thanks for advice. generally i like to know from admission officer point of view, does 620 show significant incompetency from 700? i want to know this 80 gap really a big differentiator.

Bro don't loose hope. You should have another try. Take some time to prep again and have a retake. A 650 score will definitely help you in getting admission to mid tier schools.

thanks for you all reply.

I am actually applying for their MFE(financial engineering) program. their average score is 680 although they don't put minimum score. I feel improving my score is really difficult. because there is nothing to improve in math and for verbal, my score fluctuate a lot. in the prep exam, sometimes i got only 6 wrong in verbal and sometimes i got 4 consecutive wrong ans, which i heard cause free fall for your score.

I will pass FRM level 2 this Nov and apply with 620 score, otherwise i will retake.

thanks everyone

"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."
