580 for a top 20 MSA School. Did not let the GMAT beat me.

Two years ago I said I was going to get my Masters at Wake Forest. I have now been waiting just as long to be able to write this to you guys. In March of 2013 I decided to pursue a Master's in Accounting and become a CPA. Like MBA hopefuls, MSA programs require the GMAT. I had received my B.A. in Hi...

Two weeks from GMAT

Hey everyone, I am two weeks from taking my GMAT (10/11/14) and wanted some advice on what the best plan of action should be. I am almost completely through quant theory in the Economist (sequences right now, have not started on combinatorics, probability, permutations, etc.) My CAT attempts were as...

Thanks for the help Rich, I waited a couple weeks and took a GMATPrep test this past weekend and to my surprise I scored a 620 (46Q 29V). I was in utter disbelief. I took your advice and slowed down, granted I still had 17 minutes left in quantitative, but I could tell the questions did not become &...

Thanks for the feedback guys. I will keep pushing. Rich, I have an issue with time but it is not with running out of time. I go way too fast instead. I usually end up with 20-30 minutes left in both sections. I know this causes me to make silly mistakes, and I have been making it my goal to slow dow...

Score is getting worse taking the economist course.

Hey everyone, I posted earlier when I first started so sorry if you already read some of this. Let me start off by saying that I scored a 520 on the GMAT earlier this year. When I did that I was going by the Manhattan GMAT guide and trying a few problems on the Official GMAT guide every now and then...

Thanks for the advice guys. I started a couple weeks ago and it has been slow. I try to get an hour before work then an hour after work. I try to do GMAT problems out of the official guide as well.

Starting at 520. How much progress should I expect starting?

I got 520 (Q32, V28) on my first try and 480 (Q28, V28) on my second try. I want to ask anybody who started that low and ended up in the mid to upper 600s, did you feel like a complete idiot at times starting out learning quantitative? I feel like a mountain is before me right now and I am only hopi...
