I took the exam today and scored 720.
First of all would like to thank this community. Gained a lot from various posts.
Though i am happy with the attempt but somehow worried about my verbal percentile.
I am a non native english speaker having close to 4 years of experience in telecom industry..
Can this verbal score hinder any chances getting into a good B school.

I plan to apply mainly for asia pacific colleges though a couple of B schools in US are also on my list.

Thanks

Hi,

I didn't find CR or RC tough. Infact while i was giving the exam, i felt i was cruising through them.
SC had a couple of tricky questions in which i was stuck between two options. But i still felt i had done ok.
I used to get approx 38-40 on all my mock tests(Manhattan+ GMATprep).. don't know what happened today..but the level is pretty close to GMAT prep.

Being an engineer, quant was always my strong point. So i didnt study too much for that. Just practiced from OG. Test had 3-4 tricky questions in DS. Rest all was pretty straightforward. Again i found the level similar to gmatprep. Manhattan offers a lot more difficult questions in its mock CAT's

thanks rajesh..

I stuck to OG for all the practice. Read all the explanations whether i attempted the question correct or not.
For SC i read manhattan SC guide, a pretty good source to get the concepts clear.

Guys, pls if anyone can share info if colleges take into account individual section score.
If yes, then which are the colleges that have a record for the same?
Can my verbal score affect my chances of making to a good B school.
Shall i take the exam again to improve the verbal percentile?

"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."
