I just Beat The GMAT!

Just took my first GMAT yesterday, was very pleased with the result, especially as I only gave myself 5 days to study (although I did work about 12 hours a day!).

The first thing I did was take the diagnostic test in the OG and realised I would be fine in the verbal section but needed to work on my quant. In fact I spent 100% of my study time working on my maths, I suppose I just have a natural aptitude for all the elements involved in the Verbal section. I do find it strange though when I see people posting who get Q49 scores with a V40 and say they are disappointed in their Quant score!

For my practice i basically used the OG guide, the GMAT Math Bible and GMATPrep software. I just wanted to post on BTG because although I never posted I learned a lot of valuable information about the test here, and wanted to show my gratitude!

Background - British, 23 years old, graduated with BA (Hons) in the UK last summer, hoping to get onto a fall 2011 MBA course in the USA or London.

750 with just 5 days of prep. Awesome. But I guess native speakers have an advantage in the verbal section. As you said before it enough for you to concentrate on the Quants section. Good work.

Jaypeebee thats awesome, I am also from England and looking to get into business school this fall and my test is in a couple of weeks and you have just inspire me so much. Great job and good luck on your applications
