I just scored a 670 on my last MGMAT practice test!!!
I take the GMAT on Saturday and seeing this score has really pumped me up. I took the GMAT in August and scored a terrible 540. After that I just attacked the practice tests and have been consistently scoring above 600, with this 670 happening today! I'm super excited and am amazed at my improvement...

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it. Yea I definitely think I've burned out with the studying, but I also feel pretty relaxed about the whole thing. I really think my last score was a fluke and there is no way I'll score lower. Also when I was studying intensely (right after the last test),...

I have a week left, please help me with my situation
So I take the GMAT again (got a terrible 540 last month) and I feel like I'm ready. My practice test scores (have taken 5 MGMAT since last real GMAT) have averaged at about 620, which I never did before. I think I've finally connected the dots and figured out what works for me. However, I still stru...

What would you say about this practice test result?????
I took a MGMAT practice test (second one) and scored a 640! For me this is huge because I've never broken 600. I'm really excited because I took the GMAT a couple of weeks ago and scored a terrible 540. I need over a 600 for my target school, so this is encouraging. My previous practice test results...

Can someone point me to some information for these topics
My biggest weakness in Quant. is exponents (mostly with problems involving things like 4^x-1. I also have some problems with absolute value (especially when in data sufficiency. Can someone point me to some good overview materials for these topics? Thanks in advance.

Was my first test a fluke??
I took the real GMAT on Saturday and scored a weak 540. Before taking the real thing I scored a 550 on Kaplan CAT, 590 on GMATPrep 1 and 600 on GMATPrep 2. I just took a MGMAT yesterday and scored a 590. So I'm thinking my actual GMAT score was a fluke and that if I take it again I should do better....

Is this a good strategy for my approach to practice CATs
I took the actual GMAT last Saturday and received a disappointing 540. I know I can do better as all of my practice test scores (Kaplan & GMATPrep) ranged from 550-600. Now I'm going back to the drawing board and here is what I've come up with: The first time I was studying questions in the OG 1...

Thank you. I plan to take it again in September. I really think this score was a fluke and next time I take it I'll get a score, when combined with everything else I have to offer should be sufficient to get me in.

I don't understand how this is answered?
If x and y are integers and 15^x + 15^x+1 \4^y = 15^y, what is the value of x? 2 3 4 5 Cannot be determined This is the way it is solved, but I don't understand all of it, especially how do you get "15^x(1+15)??? 15^x + 15^x+1\4y = 15^y (15^x + 15^x+1) = 15^y(4^y) [15^x + 15^x(15^1)] = 15^y(4^y...

Schools' interpretation of multiple GMAT scores?
When a school says they'll take your overall highest score, I'm assuming it would be your highest score in one test session. Do schools ever combine your highest verbal and highest Quant. from like two different tests, to give you an overall highest score? It wouldn't make sense for this to happen b...

The University of Hawaii. Their middle 80% range is 570-700. My grades are above average and I have great work experience. I've also made contact and had great discussions with many people at the school. If I can score within the range of where 80% of the people accepted score, I think (and was more...

I was beat by the GMAT, is this a good new strategy to beat
I scored a weak 540 on Saturday when I was scoring 590-600 on GMATPrep tests and doing well on most questions in the OG 11. I don't know what happened. Felt the Quant. section was much harder than any prep questions I've encountered. I've been getting almost all of the questions right in the OG 11, ...

I'm in the same boat. I scored a 540 on Saturday when I was scoring 590-600 on GMATPrep tests. I don't know what happened. Felt the Quant. section was much harder than any prep. I've been getting almost all of the questions right in the OG 11, so I'm at a loss. I don't know about you but I'm not giv...
