Getting 530 on the GMAT

by li_jon912 » Tue Feb 24, 2009 2:33 pm
Hi,
I wrote the gmat and ended up with 530 (aiming for 630+), I am still in undergrad and the MBA program I am applying to doesnt require work experience so I am hoping to apply for it this year. I am going for it with one last shot because the deadly for my school's application is june 15.

I was wondering for people that scored bad the 1st time writing it and then scored well the 2nd, if you could give me some advice because I feel discouraged at the moment.

Thank you

Hey , there is nothing to regret upon. Just concentrate and focus on your next attempt. I fetched 700 in my first attempt and I am planning to retake it by march .

So I am with you too and almost 40 percent of the GMAT takers go for a second attempt.
Thanks

It seems impossible until its done.

you need to retake it. 530 is sub 50 percentile score. get at least a 600 or above. I am sure you can do it.
