I just took the GMAT today and scored a 680. I was doing extremely well on practice tests and consistently kept getting over 700 on all the Princeton Review tests and on the GMAT Prep tests. Unfortunately I didn't do so well on game day...the verbal especially got to me.

I was aiming for a higher score because I want to go to Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, MIT or Booth. I think it will be difficult with a 680 but I will still try. I know this is supposed to be I Just Beat The GMAT but I figured I should share my experience.

A 680 is still a great score. Do you plan to re-take?

hey there...i can completely identify with your story I too had a 680(Q 49 V 33)in Nov 2011..but the school i wanted to go for, takes the best score of all attempts so I am planning a retake. 680 is a good score, really...you will be in leauge with the 10% of the MBA class who made up for the score in other areas of the application. I had plenty of time at hand till next fall session, so I decided to give it a try. Best of luck with the applications

hope you get a great school

Hey guys thanks. I don't plan on retaking as I have a lot of work commitments and don't think I'll have the time to invest in retaking to improve my score. It really is a bummer but I am hoping to bank on the rest of my application. I was the valedictorian of my university out of 400 graduates (3.9 GPA) and am a management consultant with international work experience so I hope with a 680 my application is still considered strong.

"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."
