680 Q48 and V35

by gramesmith » Wed Oct 15, 2008 1:08 am
Just finished my GMAT an hour ago with 680... fell short of 700 :(

I know its not score which people consider as high but nevertheless its a good score based on what I have prepared...

Booked GMAT 3 months back... I never expected high workload but the situation demanded me to work 11 hours and I could hardly study for 1 hour daily and 4-5 hours on weekends...

took a leave for the last 10 days just to prepare for the exam... went through the strategy from this post

https://www.beatthegmat.com/last-14-days ... t5680.html

The flash cards were a bonus to me... I suggest everyone to go through them...

I think the flash cards were the reason my score bounced up... my previous scores in Princeton test were pathetic 580 580 and 590...

GMAT Prep scores were 630 and 690 (the second test contained a lot of questions from the OG, so thats not genuine score as I already knew the answers)

I took only 1 Kaplan test just 4 days before the exam and got scared with a 540

Thanks to the admin of this forum and instructor who helped me design a strategy... :)

I answered the first 10 questions almost right in the verbal .. so I think I must have gone bad from 20-35.. anyways thats the best verbal score I ever got.. so i am quite happy with it

Congrats on the score!!

I think thats very odd tho how 48 and 36 add up to 680. I scored a 48Q and 35V a few weeks ago and scored a 690. That seems a little odd.

Hey that's a typo... it is actually 35... looks like GMAT maths isnt out of mind yet.. multiples of 12.. 36 & 48 :wink:

But still....thats exactly what I got and I got a 690. I've noticed other inconsistencies before like that. It makes little sense. If I had more motivation I would go back and investigate, Im happy with my score and 680 is a fine score, so congrats!
