Hi,
I am planning to apply for 2009 entrance; however, I can't begin studying just yet because I am spending my free time studying for the CFA II in June. With that said, timing everything will be a bit tricky.
I just took Kaplan's free GMAT demo cold, meaning the only info I had going in was that there were 2 general sections. I had no other prior info about the GMAT.
I scored a 600, broken down into a 59% on quant and a 76% on the verbal. My worst sub-sections were Data Sufficiency (got absolutely creamed) and Sentence Correction. I think this is a good thing because these two sections seem to repetition-based--but what do I know?
I guess my two questions are:
1) How well does the Kaplan demo reflect the actual GMAT?
2) I know everyone is different, but how much time/effort should I put in if I need to crack 700? I have very good, but limited and generic experience (3 years at Goldman) so I need a great GMAT to get into my top choice.
