Hi everyone,
I did GMAT test and scored disappointing 410. However, I am not feeling bad because I didn't expect anything better since I did not revise at all. I wanted to, but work and traveling caught up with me. Anyway, I applied for MBA with one of the top 10 business school in Europe (according to financial times
) and they called me up to let me know that I am absolutely perfect candidate for their MBA due to my resume, work experience, foreign languages, reference letters and etc., but they advised me to retake the GMAT if I want to be admitted. They didn't say how much I need to improve but the guy on the phone hinted at something close to, or around, 600 (which is even below their average).
So I have to take the GMAT in six weeks and I wondered if it possible for me to advance that much in six weeks?! What should be my strategy when revising? A good friend, professional mathematician is going to help me with maths and I purchased official GMAT prep books. Still, I need the strategy.
Also, few questions about the GMAT. Why do we write essays if they do not count toward final score? I got 5,9 in my essays, but that doesn't count. Damn.
Also, can I score well enough if I don't do any geometry questions in quantitative part. I hate geometry. And finally, whats the deal with critical reasoning. Those ABCDE's, they all seem to be just fine for some questions Whoever composed those questions should be banned from doing it in future ------------------ Only kidding
Thanks you all for all your replies and help. I am looking forward to reading it.
Bye bye
Dino
