I took my first GMAT practice exam through Veritas Prep (having not studied):

Math: 22 (11% percentile).
Verbal: 43 (92% percentile).
Overall: 530 (40% percentile).

Here is my question: Is my goal is a 700 and T-25 admin realistic?
Is the Math part something I can learn and bring up to a 80%?

I found my poor grade shocking considering I had a 33 math ACT and 680 math SAT.

Hi MattDC,

You appear to have posted this message in a couple of different Forums. Here is my response from the Strategy Forum:
---------------------

For most Test Takers, the first practice CAT can be surprising. One of the biggest factors (that you probably were not ready for) is Data Sufficiency. Many of the math subjects that you saw and tactics that you used on the ACT/SAT will appear on the GMAT as well, so I'd suspect that you'd have a good chance to improve your Quant performance. Your strong performance in the Verbal is a huge "plus"; most Test Takers can't score above a V40.

To score 700+, you'll need to put in some significant study time (most Test Takers need 3 months or more to hit their peak scores).

Did you take the ENTIRE CAT, including the Essay and IR section? Part of a successful study plan is to take your practice CATs in a realistic fashion, so that you're properly trained to face the rigors of the actual GMAT.

When are you planning to take your Official GMAT?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
