630. Math killed me. 35Q (44%) , 41V (93%), overall 77% percentile. I think that was the worst I have done on any Math sections to date. I believe that was in part attributable to my lack of sleep I got the night before. Couldn't turn the old brain off. So my advice is definitely get a lot of rest prior to the test, and for God's sake don't take it 8am if you can help it. In a funny side note, my analysis of an issue topic was one of topics I practiced from the yellow review book. Funny stuff.
Anyways, I hope this doesn't hinder my chances of getting into a MBA program. The programs I sent scores to, and am considering are , University of Texas at Dallas, Texas A&M, Boston College, University of Minnesota (Carlson), and Georgetown. My GPA is 3.97 and I have some prior managerial experience and plenty of work experience. We shall see.
