At first I was going to say never cancel, but seeing your time remaining for verbal - wow! You probably should have cancelled given that you had so many verbal questions you were guessing at. Practice your pacing! Test like you study, and study like you test! Don't change strategies going into the t...

They still have to grade your AWA. Patience... They will let you know when the full report is available, and thus, reportable to the schools you chose. Just sit back and wait for your awesome scores to arrive!

I found the "MBA Podcaster" to be incredibly helpful in prepping for the GMAT as well as understanding the application process. It is available via iTunes as well as their website - www.mbapodcaster.com Check it out! Also, if you have an iPhone or an iPod Touch, Veritas Prep has a great ap...

Congrats on your math score, bummer on your verbal. After reading your debrief it sounds like you did some practice tests with the AWA, but most were done without doing AWA. Would this be a fair assessment of your prep? If this is the case, I would say the biggest reason you saw a dramatic decrease ...

New GMAT format - Due in 2013
Here are some links for those curious about when the GMAT will change. There have been some rumblings about when/if the GMAT would change formats. With the number of programs that accept the GRE in lieu of the GMAT increasing, as well as the HEAVY emphasis on English language mastery, it seams a tun...

The only reason they call it the "Ultimate" practice test is because it is taken at a GMAT testing facility. It is just another Kaplan test, that in my opinion, is not reflective of the real test in both types of questions as well as scoring. See my post on a related topic http://www.beatt...

Check the rules on MBA.com to make sure.
If you are a US citizen testing in the US, all you need is your drivers license.
Problems arise when testing outside of the US or for foreign nationals testing in the US.

Well certainly it is "possible." Is it probable? I have no idea. Step one, make sure they will accept your late GMAT score. You will get an unofficial score after taking the test, but your official score could take up to 20 days to be reported to your school. (although during the slower se...

Thanks for the feedback on the humor! I'll make sure I send Conan a copy of my resume. Should I forgo B-school and attempt a career at pithy humor?
Z - thanks for accepting the apology. I did mean it and wish you the best with your GMAT plans and applications.

My apologies. I re-read my post and realized that it was a bit rude and not in the nature of the forum.
I was attempting humor, and it came out incorrectly.
Sorry.

I read something similar, only in this case GMAC was going to add retinal tracking equipment to track your eye movements. They want to determine who is using process of elimination as a test-taking technique and penalize them for not working out each problem using every possible answer. They are als...
