GMAT Recap (EmpowerGMAT & Magoosh)

This is about 5 months late but I felt I should post a quick recap because so many of the stories on here really inspired me to keep pushing. Start of this story is that I was considering an MBA and thought I will take a crack at a GMAT practice test to see where I was. I am not sure if it was a fun...

Hi! Profile Evaluation would be extremely helpful!

Profile Evaluation Request Hello, I just took the GMAT Saturday and scored a 730 (Q48,V41,7IR, first try if that matters). I am hoping someone could give me some high level guidance on where I am looking and if I am just wasting my time. I find myself a little unsure of my next steps. I was able to ...


OG 2015 -> OG 2017 Questions

Hello,
Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere. Is there a crosswalk showing which problem crossover between the old and new versions. Would be very helpful. I am using Magoosh and they have their explanations for the older version.

Thanks!
