I took gmat yesterday and got a 570. obviously it is deemed as bad score.
I was so disappointed because it was my second time to take the exam.
I got a even worse at the first time. I tried to find out what was the problem, and I thought that the failure might because I didn't commit myself to it. I decided to respect this exam and started to learn every odds and ends about GMAT.
I read "princeton Crack the GMAT" to get familiar with this exam
I digged into the Manhattan SC to build up a concrete concept about grammar
I studied Powerscore to understand fully the logic fallacies
I read 3 passages a day to train my reading
Finally of course I did a OG12 twice, blue Verbal, 5 Manhattan Cats and 3 Prep to apply the theory and pace myself.
I thought my schedule was good and I became more confident at this exam. Of course I couldn't make it perfect. I had to admit that I could not get a 700 within 1 month, but I didn't expect a <600. I don't think I deserve it.
When I retrospected this time, I found that I already built up an OG-way of thinking when doing the excise. Brick by brick, I realized that GMAT is not unconqurable! It is just an exam~I learned a lot in this month. At this moment, although the best way might be to do it again, I didn't want to think about retake! I stopped and asked why should I stick myself on this exam for so long and long that I seem to forget what I do all of this for!
At most of the time, I think I feel intimidated because I hear so many people say 680 is bad, 700 is not good enough. In fact, can anybody tell me how many people get 700+. Do all of we have to go Wharton, Sloan? I know that there be the best place to go, and thinking of going there is aggressive and enterprising, but I have to say stuck on a score make me really feel uncomfortable.
At the end, is GMAT a really big problem in getting into business school? Are the schools ranked blow 60 or 80 so bad that people all want to get a high score to "avoid" them? Is it ture that a 570 cannot go anywhere?
