I took the GMAT this morning and scored a 690 (Q46/V39). I was aiming for a score above 700, so needless to say I was a bit disappointed. However, I'm trying to look at the bright side of things.. I took the GMAT about a year ago and scored a 550. Relative to my previous score, I improved quite a bit. I'm looking to apply to part time programs at a few top 15 schools. Do you think this score will hold me back from admission?

Lastly, I'd like to thank this great community for all of the help and insight. It is really awesome to see how someone else would solve difficult problems and that really helped me a lot. All of the advice regarding prep materials was also awesome. Thanks BTG!

Just got my AWA score: 6!!

congratulations on the score!

140 points is a huge score improvement! With a good app, I think you would be competitive at a lot of programs.

"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."
