Does anybody have any experience with taking the GMAT for a business PhD program? I have some questions I would like to help. Does BTG have any information on this?

For me, I recently took the GMAT and got a 640. I already got a scholarship for an MBA program that I will be attending this fall. However, after recent developments, I may go after a PhD instead, and a 640 just won't cut it. I will need to take the GMAT again I believe. Any PhD's here? or PhD students?

thanks,

ray

I am currently studying for the GMAT and plan to apply for PhD programs this fall.

If you want to get into a very good PhD program, the average GMAT score is 700. Why would you like to pursue a PhD? A PhD prepares you for a career in academia. Make sure that this is your goal.
Also, I strongly recommend that you get some research experience and perhaps submit a paper to a conference and/or publish a paper. PhD programs look for candidates who have a high aptitude for rigorous research.

Let me know how I can provide you with further advice on PhD 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."
