I beat the GMAT!!!! 640

by kellyeroses » Mon Jan 14, 2008 3:12 pm
I posted a topic on 11/21/2007 right before Thanksgiving that I had gotten a 550, that weekend I re-applied myself to the process and got serious about identifying my weaknesses on the different topics. I purchased the Green Official Quantitative book and the Kaplan GMAT prep book which turned out to be more helpful than any studying I did for the first test. Today I got a 640, which for me is a success!!! I got a 40 on Quant and a 38 on the verbal compared to a 27 on quant and a 38 on verbal previously...

I want to thank everyone on this blog who helped me by answering my questions with complete explanations. For those of you that have a low quant score, keep practicing and identifying where your weaknesses might be.

Thanks again!!!!!!

Kelly
