what would be the best month to take GMAT, so that the applications are in well advance for the fall 2010 intake? any idea?
I would say, before the end of this year. That leaves you enough time to work on your application.

You can buy one of their books and you will get access to the tests.. its cheaper than buying the tests from Manhattan..

GMAT Score:720

Hey,

I am shocked , I did think, your score would be above 730 for sure, well I crashed and burned too. I thought was easily able to pull off a 710 but am in the same boat... Actually i too had crammed around 5-6 tests in the last week before GMAT. And my scores were ranging between 690-710. However I do believe that this approach does tire you out mentally for the actual one, by the end of my verbal i just wanted to get it over with and thats where i suffered. I am weak in RC and just my luck last 11 questions had 2 RC's , 2 CR's and 1 SC. and the time left was around 8 mins. I guess I panicked..., really need to work on the timing too.

So when are you planning to give again? Let me know... I am still wondering what should be my strategy.
