I've very happy with my score because I am a firm believer that b schools only glance at your score to make sure it's not too low and then move onto the rest of your application. I doubt a 710 ever lost out to a 720-800 on gmat merit alone. By that measure, anything above 700 will take you almost anywhere you want to go.

Thank you to everyone on this site! It is a great community of selfless people and I believe it was the largest factor in boosting my score above 700. I'm an above-average standardized test taker, so distinguishing myself on the gmat is something I've been fretting for a LONG time. I've been studying on and off for almost 3 years. To be honest, it wasn't until I found this site that I was able to focus.

Also, I am selling my access to the Kaplan Online quiz bank. This was an awesome resource that really helped me hone my practice on the tougher quant questions (there are not nearly enough in the OGs or other books). I only used it for the last month of my studying, so it still has about 70 days (out of ~93). I paid $279 with the beatthegmat discount, so I think a fair price would be a third of that amount ($186). Best offer wins, so please let me know asap.
