620!
quant 47
verbal 29
LOL - F*** my Life!!!!! (excuse me)
I don't know what happend!

I have never ever scored below 30, not even during the first practice test I did without even looking at the books once.

Sentence corrections and time killed me. Quant went so so, but in quant I am just on top of my game, but verbal... seriously.
LSE dream just died. I'll prob gonna retake it in 31 days.
Do you guys think it still makes sense to apply to LSE in mid April??
Cheers, Cdawg

btw: last three Gmat manhattan tests at least verbal 40, quant 46-48. MBA.com prep tests Q2x49 V38 & 40

I need some serious strategies to pwn the verbal part. (I am willing to invest 10 more days) Any suggestions?

yeah if you were consistently around 40's in Verbal it was probably simply a fluke...

My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

"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."
