My improvement in RC occurred over two phases. The first phase was ~2 months long. I probably went from an accuracy of ~30% to 60%. During this phase, I answered significant portion of the OG RC questions. The next phase was 4 months long. During this time, I really didn't focus on studying RC. My t...

hi hemantsood, wow, with such a high quant you just need to lock in a good enough verbal score and you are good to go. For me, it took a good amount of time to pull my verbal score up. I found the key to be persistence. Keep plugging away at learning how the questions are written and identifying whe...

720: Q45 75%, V45 98% AWA: 6.0 Although I may retake because my quant score is below the 80th percentile, I think a write-up may be of value to two types of test takers - 1) visual learners and 2) people who traditionally score low in the verbal portion of standardized tests.

blah8065 - you are absolutely right. The rest of my resume is pretty solid - 3.8 GPA, and 5 years work experience for a Fortune 500 company in an international leadership role.

720 (Q45 75%, V45 99%) - Am I done?
I didn't crush the GMAT, but I at least flicked its ear. Several places online state that some top schools apply a 80/80 rule, meaning an applicant should score above 80 percent in both sections. I want to be excited about my score, but the 75 percentile in quant is making me question the strength o...
