Re: High CAT, low AWA

Hi, I received a 760 (Q49 V44) on the CAT section, but got a 4.5 on the AWA. I am thinking of having the AWA re-evaluated. Do you think I should have it re-evaluated or consider re-writing the GMAT because of this? I am considering applying to top US schools. Thank you for the help. Regards, Mike I...

Re: I agree with every poster above

The scoring of verbal now, is different from what it was two months ago. Does anyone know of any channel to communicate with GMAC and ask them to investigate. Something is definitely fishy here, and we should get our hands on it, and put the matter to rest. Alright, I called the GMAT Customer Servi...

I read a lot on different posts that Verbal is the score which varies the most - between that and quant. I have a theory... Could it be that you, and I included, are over-thinking the problems when it comes to the real test? Personally, I find myself double guessing and then trying to figure out if...

Re: Here it is

So I took the exam today for the 3rd time and I have a couple of questions: (1) Is it possible to ask for a remark? Especially for the verbal because I can swear that was my best verbal performance only to come out with a 36, unbelievable. I have been averaging around 42 in all different tests, and...

czechchamp I can understand the frustration you must be going through. Dont take it personally, it is not going to help you much. Talking about your GMAT prep scores, I have seen experts stating in this forum that GMAT prep has a score variance of 50 points. Your first two test scores fall within t...

For top 10 school 610 won't cut it, unfortunately. If you're serious about top 10 program, then you ought to retake it. FWIW, McCombs (Top 20) GMAT's 80% range is 630 - 710. Timing is very important, make sure that you are watching the clock throughout the whole exam. Also, allow yourself a few gues...
