Hi all,

I wrote the exam yesterday and I scored 650 ( 49Q,29V). I was a bit disappointed with my verbal score. I guess the two months of preparation I put in, weren't enough.

For the exam , I used OG 11 and Kaplan 800. They did help me improve my scores from the ones I got in GMAT prep. My GMATprep scores were 1) 570 2) 600. I am planning to write the exam again since I am confident that I can improve my verbal scores.

I would like to thank the site and contributors,for the suggestions and discussion. They guided me throughout my preparation. This forum is one of the best as it is very organized and the materials are quite helpful.( Though I could not get time to go through all of them).

THANKS A TON

Congratulations on the 49Q. That is awesome. You scored 50 points higher on the real test than GMAT Prep. Thats rare. 650 is a good score, but judging by your quant ability, you can score higher in verbal for sure. Goodluck with your prep.

I too scored a 650 and felt terrible afterwards. I'm going to try again since I was able to see scores like 720 during the Ultimate Practice Exam in actual testing conditions.

It's another 2 months out of my life. I am hoping it will be worth it.

Good luck to you. Hope you do well.

Thanks ! Scoring a 650 is kind of frustrating but it just shows that we can make it to the 700s.

With my work load getting a bit crazy , it will be a while when I go for a second attempt at GMAT.

All the best to you ..we are near to our goals ..just need to focus and we
are there .

"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."
