Hi all,

I just got my GMAT score back. I am not applying to a top tier program.

Verbal: 37/81%
Quantitative: 25/14%
Total: 530/40%
AWA: 5.5/77%
IR: 6/67%

Clearly, my Quantitative score is abysmal. But, I am hoping that my V/AWA/IR are enough to save it. Are they? I am still a bit unsure of how to measure myself. I had a 3.4 GPA as an undergraduate and have a few years of work experience. Any ideas?

I think 500 is typical for the school, but that might not take into account my V/Q disparity. What sorts of schools would my score make me eligible for?

PS: I took the test without significant prep. I studied the weekend prior (test was on Monday). I felt pretty good about my score, given that. But, I am still concerned that I will need to retake it because of my V/Q disparity. How big of a deal is that?

"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."
