What are my chances of getting into a top school given my recent gmat. So I just retook the gmat and got a 730 48Q 42V. I am a bit disappointed since my verbal score dropped from 48. I just can’t seem to get the math and verbal to come together in the same test. In all my practice tests I have ne...

I used the Total GMAT Math. It was about 500 pages. So good luck printingGoBlue wrote:Congratulations. Excellent post. Very motivating.
Can you tell me exactly what Jeff Sackmann materials did you use ? Challenge sets or Fundamentals or the Math Bible

I beat the GMAT - finally 720 (Q50 V38) after a 680 and 690
1st Attempt I took the GMAT for the first time in April 2010. Self Prep with some Manhattan CATs and GMAT Prep. Though I was getting about 710-720 in the GMAT Prep, I ended up with a 680 on the real exam (Q49 V32 6.0). It was quite a shock for me as I was aiming for the top 10 universities in the U...

Thanks for all the encouragement. I have decided that I will not stop practising, until I am satisfied that I will get a 750 or something close and then only take the test.

GMAT beat me this time but I will be back with vengeance!!
Took the GMAT after about 2 months of preparations. I got beaten this time. Dunno what struck me at the exam but I came out with Q49 V32 and 680. To sum it up, I knew my verbal wasn't the best, but my GMAT Prep 2 was a 39 and I had an overall of a 730. In all other GMAT Prep's I was getting 35 const...

Yes, unfortunately it posts a mark only. However, I tried both the topics and I got a 5.0 in the argument one, I myself knew I did not do an amazing job at the argument essay. It does have a rubric and it marks you against 3 criteria, but they claim that the e-rater is also very similar to the GMAT ...

I saw a post asking if 730 is enough for top 5 mba. And people answered heck yes. My version of the question is: How much my chance of getting admitted to top 20 mba is increased if I can improve my score from 730 to 750+? I just got 730 today, not upset, not satisfied either. I booked another appo...

Essay Written using GMAT Write Software
Hello Everyone, I purchased the GMAT Write software to evaluate the standard of essays I write. I was very nervous about this and especially nervous about my Analysis of Issue essays. I wrote this essay and I got a 6.0 in all the compartments that they evaluate. Hopefully this is very similar to the...

Congratulations on the fantastic score. I agree with you about the Manhattan Quants - can be very de-motivating at times. Best of luck for your applications.

Probably, you are too worried with the timer. To go through the guide for strategies is a good idea. I would also suggest you to read Ron's posts in BTG forum or MGMAT forum. At one point of time, i went over his posts very diligently and took important points in flashcards. Now i'm very comfortabl...

I have also used Manhattan SC - gone over it, however I am going over it again this weekend. Dont really have a problem - even when ...

SC strategy during the exam
Hi, Looking for some advice on the SC strategy during the test. Practice with OG 11 and 12 and even with SC practise on the GMAT Prep gives me a 80-90% hit ratio. However, on the exam its hitting 50%. Dont know why. Maybe its the timing factor or maybe I have a strategy problem? If anyone has some g...

Hi,
According to GMAT Prep you would have got about 49-50 for Q and about about 35 for Verbal giving you a score of 700-710. However I am not sure of the algorithm used in Max Prep so dont quote me on this.
