I gave the GMAT couple of hours back. I scored 600 (Q: 50, V: 24)

I am definetly not shocked as i scored the below on my practice tests, but little dissapointed as something in the range of 640-66 would be great for me

MGMAT1 - 610
MGMAT2- 650
MGMAT3 - 590
MGMAT5 - 650
KAPLAN1 - 570
KAPLAN2 - 570
GMATPREP1 - 570
GMATPREP2 - 610

I want to apply to the part-time MBA program. Can anyone tell me if i would be eligible with these scores and if i need to take the test again.

List of schools:
University of Georgia
Georgia State University
Georgia Tech University
Emory University

My Profile:

Work Experience - 2.5 years as Business Analyst in Supply Chain industry
Masters in Software Engineering at University of Missouri

Hi Sandeep,
You can have my verbal score if I can have your quant score

No, seriously, there is a large discrepancy between your verbal and quant scores. I am certain that you can bring up your verbal score considerably.
Have you looked at MGMAT's sentence correction book? If I were you I would get a tutor (that is what I am doing for math).
You can totally raise your score, so if you want to retake then do as I think it would be worth your while.
Loads of luck and congrats - 600 is a good score!
Vanessa

Quant was tough

Hi Vanessa

MATH was pretty tough and i got more than i expected. Especially after i saw two sitters as Q13 and Q14; and it gave me a feeling that i am on the wrong side

Q13 was (4+1/4)^2 - (4-1/4)^2

Q14 was 1/5 + 1/sqrt2

I was saw tensed after seeing Q14 that i blanked out and spent 7 minutes on it.

Also at one point from Q23 to Q30; i got 8 DS in a row and none of them were (e) for the answer which is a rarity in GMAT

So if anybody comes across simple questions - just get them right quickly and don't panic

"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."
