730 in Two Months

by kconley » Tue Jul 31, 2007 12:51 pm
I've been a silent participant on this message board, but it's been a great help! I just got back from taking the test with a score of 730. My goal was to break 700 so I'm very happy. The detailed breakdown is below:

730 Overall - 96th percentile
Q47 (81st %)
V42 (95th %)

I'll give more of a debriefing in the next couple of days, but in short, the MGMAT materials really helped boost my score over 700. Before starting the MGMAT materials about two weeks ago, I was consistently scoring in the mid to high 600's.

More to come later. Just want to go celebrate at the moment! :)

Which specific MGMAT materials did you use and what scores did you usually get on their diagnostic tests? I have taken 2 and have gotten 670 and 650. However, the number of questions wrong on each section is enormous, nearly 20 for both. I don't really know what to make of that.

I have been able to get around a 700 on Kaplan's 2008 book diagnostic tests but the questions seem "a lot" easier.

Thanks in advance for your reply.
