Hi guys, Finally it's my turn to report the scores. I wrote the GMAT on Apr 15. Scored 700 (Q45,V40). It was my first attempt, and I had 2 months to prepare for the exam. I am not a native english speaker, and my Quant was not strong either. So I really had to work on both parts. My first diagnostic...

Sorry to hear about your experience. I took the test in NYC too. I brought my new york ID, and just in case in the last moment decided to bring my passport as well. Which later turned out to be a great idea, otherwise they would not let me sit for exam. Another problem was that my last name in passp...

Yeah, I wish 770 was an objective score but unfortunately it's inflated because I had many questions I solved already.

Thank you for your advice! :)

Hi I did 6 of MGMAT tests. Math questions are harder than GMAT Prep. Verbal is easier, at least it seemed to be for me. But it is easier to score high on MGMAT, probably because of scoring algorithm or because they give you harder questions and they weight more... With the same number of wrong/corre...
