I'm so glad to know that there is someone out there who mirrors my experience. I'm also looking into a PhD. program for business so retaking the GMAT is a huge fear of mine since it is a CAT program. To know that you did it, gives me the motivation to go for it.

I left school before completing high school but (luckily) found my way into IT. In 1991 and at 30 years of age, I took the GMAT.

It was my first serious "exam" experience and I went in cold, without any preparation at all. Somehow I managed to score 693, which back then was 95th or 97th percentile that particular year.

Now I'm ready to go again, curious as to whether anybody else has traveled a similar path?

Cheers,
Gary

I took the GMAT in 1991 and scored 710/98% (700s were rarer in those days I guess 8) ), then went on to Sloan. I used only the OG for the first test.

Now in my mid-40s I have decided to do a PhD in Economics. The school expects me to re-take the GMAT.

I am in the middle of preparing for my 2nd test (next month). What a shock for me when I first saw that the GMAT was adaptive, not to mention those new fangled essays. And all the questions seemed harder than I remember from 1991!

In this post I wanted to ask if anyone else is taking or re-taking the GMAT after such a long gap, and what advice they may have for unclogging ancient synapses.

After I have taken the test I will post my strategy (successful or not!).

Cheers
Chris

Awesome post and congrats! I am studying from mostly the same materials and hope to achieve similarly!

What were your pacing and timing strategies when you took the exams? I find that to be my biggest obstacle.
