Retaking GMAT

by [email protected] » Fri Jan 04, 2013 9:04 pm
Hi,


I appeared in my first GMAT on the 28th of november and scored 520, I am retaking GMAT on the 30th of january, targeting a score of 700+.

I just read an article that very few/minimal GMAT takers are able to improve their scores in their second+ GMAT attempts!

Is it true, I really have to prove it to myself by scoring a 700!

Please advise!

Thanks!

If you check out the I Just Beat the GMAT forum (https://www.beatthegmat.com/i-just-beat- ... t-f15.html), you'll find tons of inspirational stories about people who have increased their scores by hundreds of points.

The question is, "Will you be one of those people?"

Cheers,
Brent

Thanks Brent, one more query, now we have time only to apply in the third round! Is it still time or this year is over; considering that I feel I still need two months to appear in GMAT!

Most of the last dates for the third round are in March!

Hi Shiba,

I wish I could help you there, but I specialize solely in preparing students for the GMAT. So, I don't know much about Business School admissions processes.

There are, however, many experts on this site who can answer that question. Anyone want to jump in?

Cheers,
Brent
