47 quant on my diagnostic.

by mikekolly » Mon Apr 12, 2010 5:44 pm
Hey guys, without any practice, i've got 47 on Manhattan GMAT. From experience, after practice, do you think i can climb to 49 or 50? I had hard time with timing. With a 49 on quant, how much do i need on verbal to get 710 overall? 40 ,39. I'm planning to apply to b-school in 3 years, is it true that top b-school do not look favourably on score that are older than 2 years?Thanks for your reply.

If you score 49 in quant, you need something like 38 in verbal to get 710.

Sure you can improve your score with a bit of practice. Also, use a timer during your practice to pace yourself.
Here is a link for a post at GMATCLUB, where one member posted exactly what you are looking for, in terms of section scores needed for a specific total.

I don't think Business Schools will look unfavorably to your GMAT Score which is 2 years old. In fact, most of them will probably look at your best score anyway.

Hope that helps.
