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.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
