First I would like to thank all members who helped me. Thank you!

My story is simple, I have a low gpa, and wanted to get into the Haskayne School of Business at University of Calgary, specifically their partime program. I was told I would need to clear 600, so with determination I have been studying since October 1st, with a 2-week hiatus in December.

I started my studies with a 600 and by the end of x-mas break, 3months in, I was hovering around 620. Realizing I had made no real improvement (mid jan), I took the advice of BB from this board, and started to go through my trouble areas in the Manhattan guides. Over the next two-weeks my scored increased to a comofertable 710 on my frist take of the gmatprep, and ever since then I was scoring consistantly between 700-730. I spent the last two-days going over the awa, definatly reccomend the template on the forum here.

Now onto G-day, no stress, no worries, very relaxed through the exam. I made one mistake in choosing a choice, I knew the answer but mis-selected and realized right after i confirmed bah, painful but what you gone do? Final score comes out 680, not overly happy, but happy and not going to repeat.


A word to people about which exams are accurate: I feel that the Gmatprep,powerprep, knewton, and the mgmat are the most accurate in that oarder, do not bother with kaplan, it just hurts your feelings lol.

Again in closing, thank you everyone, i really appreciate everyone's efforts and kind words!

keep beating the gmat.
