Hi,
I'm relatively new to this forum, so I thought I'd ask for some recomendations as to what I should do next. I took my GMAT and got a 610.
Q 32
V 42
I studied for this test for over 6 months using the OG and the OG Math Review as well as Peaterson's, Kaplan, and Princeton review guides. On my practice GMATs I scored between 590-610. The comany created versio of the test I score a 620-640. I studied each problem in these books, made sure I understood all the concepts and rules, but somehow when I sat down to take the GMAT, I could not remember a lot of the material. Also, the problems I got on the GMAT were different than the ones covered in the books. I think I only got 5 problems that we similar. Another problem I had was that I ran out of time and had to guess on the last 4 problems. I have always had this issue. I just get confused by the GMAT questions and the way they are phrased. I need time to figure out what the problem is asking and when you are on a time limit and have less than 3 minutes per problem, it is very difficult. I've also never been good at math. I'm much, much better in verbal. I didn't even need to study for the verbal and was in the 90th percentile. Should I retake the GMAT? If I do, I need to improve by at least 50 points. I have a high undergrad GPA so perhaps that can make up for a lower GMAT score? I would like to apply to a top 10 b-school.
