itheenigma, when you say Brian's strategy worked, what exactly do you mean in a quantifiable sense? Did your Quant score increase by 2+ points?

Thanks for the quick reply Brian! The egotistical side of me wants to never give up on a question, but I'm starting to really see how beneficial your strategy can be. Usually I face 3-4 problems on each practice test that EVEN AFTER 2+ minutes of working through, I still don't know what the heck to ...

Constantly guessing on last 4-5 Quant questions-EXPERT HELP
I have taken 4 practice exams thus far (my G-Day is this Friday). I have been sort of cramming for reasons that would take too long to explain on this forum. My scores from the practice exams are as follows: GMATPrep1 (relatively no studying):620 (Q44,V31) MGMAT 1: 690 (Q43,V40) MGMAT 2: 640 (Q43,V3...

I know this is an old topic but i just completed this same problem in the OG supplement and felt the exact same way as the original poster. I understood "can" to mean "is there a possibility that" when obviously that isn't what GMAC thinks it means. I understand the explanation n...

Weird/Dumb question
Where do I find the address to my Pearson test center? On mba.com, where I registered for the GMAT, all it shows me is the name and city of the test center. I Googled it and found an address, but I've done so before with much less important addresses and found that sometimes they are outdated (the c...

I have completed an internship at a regional accounting firm and I will complete another at a Big 4 firm next summer. I've also worked at a Financial Advising firm for about a year. Does this take any weight off my GMAT score?

Weight of each section of application?
Obviously, it is known that the GMAT is very important to the application process (I am on this website, after all), but how important? I have a semi-unique situation. I have not graduated Undergrad yet; I am applying for my Masters of Accounting (MAcc), not my MBA. I realize both programs have a re...

I have attached my Assessment summary provided by MGMAT for 2 CAT practice exams. They are very thorough (quite impressed, actually) and I would be forever grateful if someone could look them over and suggest the best ways to improve my weak areas.

Difficulty of OG Sentence Correction questions?
I have taken 2 practice GMATs thus far, one GMATPrep and one MGMAT. On both exams, more than half of my incorrect Verbal questions were Sentence Correction. On the MGMAT, specifically, I answered 6/15 SC correct. However, MGMAT told me that all but 1 of those 15 questions were 700-800 difficulty, th...

Just wanted to update on this thread... I purchased the SC guide from MGMAT, which also came with 6 CATs from MGMAT. I took one of those today to see if I have progressed at all... I got a 690 (Q43 V40)! I'm not sure how accurate MGMAT's scores are compared to GMATPrep, but 690 vs. 620 is obviously ...

Thanks Brent and Whit! Whit - Thanks for that notice about only being able to sit for the exam every 31 days, I must have missed that on the mba.com site! My main weakness is Sentence Correction. I am above average with quant (about equal in Problem solving vs Data sufficiency) and I'm very good wit...

Should I push back my test date?
Hello all, I started studying for the GMAT about a week ago (in between work schedule) and my first GMATPrep test score came out to be a 620 (44Q 31V). This was after about 3 days, so not much heavy studying just yet. I scheduled my exam for September 16! The original reason I did this was to meet t...
