690 to 730...thanks to Manhattan

Tamed the beast….got a 730 (Q49,V41). Very relieved. Extremely happy. Few months back, I sat for the test for the first time and got a 690 (Q47,V38). See my post on this: http://www.beatthegmat.com/am-i-6ft-tall-or-5ft-11in-t35918.html#146622 Since my last attempt, I focused solely on Manhattan ma...

Is pre-test burnout a real possibility?

Hi, I am taking the real thing day after tomorrow i.e. Sunday (yes, I am from a part of the world that follows a Sun - Thu work week). I had taken the GMAT in May 2009, and scored a 690 (Q47, V38). My target score was 700+. I sat for the test with about a month's preparation using OG, Vebal & Qu...

Hey, I would recommend Manhattan too. I recently sat for the GMAT and scored a 690 - I wanted a 700 plus score. I have now taken up Manhattan - their material is excellent. With them, you get to target the fundamentals and then work your way up. I have just begun with the first book...but I can alre...

Query on 800 score GMAT CAT TESTS

Hi,

Has anyone used the 800 Score GMAT Prep Tests? I think there are 5 of them.

Are they similar to the real thing?

Will appreciate your inputs.

Thanks Jim. I was thinking on very similar lines. I think I should be able to extract a 720 or at least a 710. While there maybe no meaningful difference between a 690 and a 700, it does play upon the minds of interviewers(I guess). One advantage next time around is that I am likely to be a bit rela...

congratulations!!!

Your AWA score will not affect the 690...you will get to know the AWA once you receive the score report from GMAC.

Thanks to all of you guys.

I am planning to get in touch with schools that I am interested in. This is essentially to assess whether I need to retake the exam or not.

Am I 6ft tall or 5ft 11in??

I sat for the real thing today. Score: 690 (Q47, V38). Target score was 700... a 710 would have made me very happy. Practice test results: - 1 week before the actual test: GMAT Prep 1 (first attempt): 700 (Q48, V38) - 2 days before the actual test: GMAT Prep 2 (first attempt): 710 (Q48, V39) Prepara...

Real thing day after tomorrow

I took GMAT Prep 2 today. Score was 710 Q48, V39). [GMAT Prep 1 taken about a week back: 700 (Q48, V38)]. I was hoping to get around 720 or 730. This would have placed me in the right frame of mind when I take the actual thing on Monday (my target is 700). I made 4 mistakes (out of a total of 12 mis...

I have used the Original Guide and the two review guides - verbal and quantitative.

Based on my performance on Monday, I will decide whether or not to take a professional course. I am planning to take the Manhattan online course.

Thanks leaonae.

I was doing exactly the opposite...I was trying to assess whether the questions were getting harder or easier...whether I would get around a 720 or not, etc.

You are right - I need to maintain my cool. Thanks for your tips.

Will take GMAT Prep 2 on Sat...actual test is on Monday.
