Hi Guys,

I just got a very poor score of 540. I am a working professional(Engg.) with 5 years of work ex. My work demands a lot of time which leaves very little time for GMAT preperation.
Though I want to take GMAT again still I want to know if there are any schools where I can be a fit with this GMAT score. I have gud grades in my bachelors degree 76%.

I am looking for 1 year full time MBA.

My Detailed Score is

Quant 42
Verbal 23

Thanks in advance.
Raj

You really have to study for V.

You will have to sacrifice your weekends and maybe friends too.

You have not posted enough details of your study habits up until now. What resources have you used? Here are a few good ones:
- MGMAT series
- PowerScore CR Bile
- Official guide + quant/verbal supplements

Thnx guys for your suggestions and replies.

I used OG11 and Kaplan GMAT premier Prog for my GMAT prep.

Seems like not enough. If you have any links for Verbal basic -> advanced, I will really appreciate that.

Regards,
Raj

"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."
