690 to 760!!! Thanks a tonne BeatTheGmat

Hi,
I gave my Gmat last year and got 690. Basically i froze in verbal last year. After that I joined an NGO and have been working with them since past one year. It had been a really busy one year so i couldn't get time for GMAT. But finally i took out one month for this June and gave my GMAT.
Wow..got 760. It wouldn't have been possible without BeatTheGmat, Manhattan and also PowerScore CR.
I just wanted to thank you all of you for your posts and questions.

I will write a better and complete story in the days to come. :)

Thanks Again!!!

Hi sidelinesk,

That's a fantastic performance (and improvement). What Business Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi sidelinesk,

If you haven't yet done so, you should consider working with an Admissions Expert on your applications. The programs you're considering are remarkably competitive, so it's not just that you have to be qualified, but you also have to properly present yourself. Are you planning to apply this year? If so, then which Round(s)?
