I wonder how helpful it is if at all but although I only got a 640 on my GMAT, I did get a perfect score on both the IR section (8.0) and AWA (6.0). I do feel pretty proud of that achievement. And before anyone asks, the order I selected when taking the test was Quant, Verbal, IR, and AWA, so I did ...

12 Year out of college, GMAT study plan?

Hi KDR83, That's great news - especially considering the time off you took over the Summer. To clarify things a bit though, was this a CAT that you had taken before (or did you see any questions on it that you had previously answered?)?

Hi KDR83, To start, a 560 is a solid performance for an initial CAT (the average score on the Official GMAT hovers around 540-550 most years). You've also given yourself plenty of time to study - which is good. That having been said, to hit 680+, you will have to make significant improvements to how...

12 year out of college, GMAT study plans?

Graduated with an undergrad in December 2005, so I am a long way out of college. I am wanting to possibly change careers or at least boost my career. I am thinking of doing an MBA in Europe as most of the programs there are 12 months versus 24 here, it also appears they are more open to an older app...
