GMAT Strategy

Stacey Koprince wrote:Just a comment on something from upthread - a user noted an MGMAT test score as compared with a GMATPrep score. The MGMAT score was higher and the user asked if MGMAT tests are easier.

The user also, however, noted that s/he took the MGMAT test untimed. If you take a test under non-testing conditions, the results are not comparable to either the real test or any other test taken under testing conditions. If you take a test untimed (particularly a test for which, under normal conditions, timing is a HUGE factor) you should expect to do better. The result of an untimed test is not really indicative of anything.

Thank you Stacey. I am plannign to take on more MGMAT this week- timed and hopefully some improvement will follow. Thanks again.

just wanted to share some good (for me at least news) I have taken the test and got 600 (for me it is a huge jump, from 480).
Verbal- 28 (50th%)
Math- 44(72%)
Total 600 (68%)
AWA 5.0 (61%).

Thank you guys for all the advices. If i decide to take it again (?) i know where to come for support and extra material!!

Hi. I've been blogging my progress as well as my lessons learned and thoughts on various topics related to the GMAT on my blog post on this forum. You can check it out and see how I've been studying and what I've been doing to counteract my weaknesses in certain areas. I also have a lot of notes on Verbal questions.

Thanks.

Congrats on the score jump
You give me hope as I am starting off with a low diag score and its discouraging when I see so many people starting off with prep scores in the 600's.
Do you have any usefull advice?
How long did you study?

Well i had a long battle wiht the GMAt overall... and even now not sure if it is over. 600 is not very high, but this time i did not study like nuts and spent most of the time just understanding the concepts and practicing tests (this is only because i covered all the books:all MGMAT books, all KAPLAN 800 for 2006 and 2007, Princeton review verbal and Mth workouts and official guide books). So this time i was easy on myself with volume but spent time in understanding and catchng the concept,.. and think overall i was just lucky that day . You will be to. Trust me i have taken it too many times to be stressed out .
I found most useful MGMAT online tests, good breakdown of weakness areas. Good luck.

I got accepted to Baruch wiht my low score belive it or not 480 to the Flex Time program though. So...
