Just took^3 the GMAT

I have sat my third GMAT exam today and I thought I'd share my thoughts on it. 1. I finally increased my score -> got 630 (had 540 on both my previous attempts) 2. My verbal %ile went from 30 to 80 for a month!!! 3. My math % remained the same (60) even after a month of additional training. 4. I fee...

Thansk for the advise Mayonnaise and Prasanna. As for the reading, I did some 42 questions (8 passages or so -> 6 mistakes) of Reading Comprehension yesterday from OG11 and I realized one thing: I am fine with reading off a paper source... however reading off the computer screen just does not work a...

Hi xeqtr, I will be applying for both kinds ... MSc and MBA. at Tanaka specifically I think it will be the MSc but I have some time to decide on that this week. You are right 700+ would be much better, yet I am being realistic knowing my previous score... I will still do my best to crack the GMAT. I...
