Yea I wasn't doing the AWA's and was writing random bullet points really quickly when doing my tests. It's just that I didn't expect such a low score. As an engineer you would think that 45 in quant is easily attainable. My grades were really good to and I went to a good UC school. I actually did d...

Congratulations PS2011! I've just scored 640 on a MGMAT CAT (43Q 35V) after preparing for at least 1 month (very disappointing). Do you think this is enough to get 700 on the real thing? What was your last MGMAT CAT score before taking the GMAT (please provide the split)? Thanks My score was 620 wi...

Thanks a lot for your wishes,guys! Since yesterday, I have been still trying to figure out the possible reasons. I think that since there are 6-10 experimental questions on each of the two sections, there's a good probability that the questions which I might have gotten wrong would mostly have been...

Hi there PS2011! Great beginning here! A few ideas on how to strengthen: To start, I suggest you reorganize your template. Aim for 5-paragraphs: a short intro, 3 body paragraphs with one example each, and a short conclusion. Your 2nd paragraph is much too long, and looks like you did not have comma...

Hello Everyone I finally gave the GMAT after around 1.5 months preparation and scored 720. Feeling neither ecstatic nor disappointed. I could have done better with the quant( esp since I have an engg. background), but since I had taken up studies after a long gap & since I am now completely addi...

I had done GMAT Prep Test about 1 week back & got 700. Today when I took MGMAT, I got only 600. The MGMAT CAT 1 was tough with all questions marked in 700-800 bracket. Which is why I could manage even 600, as I had hopelessly run out of time on the quant test. The verbal was also very tough &...
