Damn you GMAT!! (660)

by leugene » Thu Oct 02, 2008 1:54 pm
So I took the GMAT yesterday [10/01/08] and was stunned at my score.. 660... =(

Granted I only gave myself a month and a half to take this bad boy, I really thought I would fare better than a 660, especially because I felt I was smoking through the questions (smoking through = getting them right). I guess the fact that I finished both quant and verbal with about a minute remaining should have tipped me off about my progress.. and the fact that I didn't see a single combination or permutation question on quant..

Anyhoo, I'm definitely going to take it again in a month, although I will hire a GMAT tutor this time to make sure I nail everything. I'll be back GMAT!! You will give me a 700+!!! And like it!!

660 is decent

I think 660 is a decent score. Can anybody please shed some light as to how important GMAT really is for MBA admissions? Is it worth taking for securing another 30-40 points?
