GMAT Strategy

And I found it pretty tough. Granted I've been studying for only a week, but I was surprised by the test's difficulty. Is it possible these tests are made difficult to purposely get people to enroll in their program?

The whole test is a rip off and a formality. It has no real evaluation of actual grad school knowledge.

I digress, what do I know? It is the SAT all over again, think about that, except this time as grad students you will probably only use 10% of the stuff you have to learn before you throw it out of your brain again.

I got a Quant score of 30 and I was tired and gave up on the verbal and omitted 22 questions lol.

I got a total score of 430. Say if I did as good as on my Quant as I did on the verbal what would I be looking at?

Did you take a paper test? I took a paper test at my school and it was substantially harder, I felt... probably because it's not adaptive.

Yeah it was a paper test and I was surprised at the difficulty of the Quant part. Granted I only studied one week, but I was looking at some of the questions on The Princeton Review and I thought they weren't that bad.
