Ok I'm going to take a contrarian stand here. I sincerely believe that you should consider re-taking the GMAT. As I have stated on numerous occasions in the past, I'm highly averse to some of these admission consultants trolling these forums (peddling their useless advice). These consultants love to...

Oh! You are definitely in the running for the NYU PT program. I believe the median score is in the 600s. Your chances were to increase tremendously if you were to apply to their Westchester campus.

A very loaded question! Are you talking about admission to a Top 5 Business school or a Top 5 Program in Finance? If the former, then your score is awesome.

Nice job--I applaud your discipline. Now all you need to do is write a winning application and you are a shoo-in. Sheesh!! Somebody ought to stop these trolls from spamming the forum with their wares. What's next? Admissions officials from unheard of B-schools applauding our effort and in turn urgi...

You may look into buying the MLICET Reading Comprehension Guide. MGMAT too has an okay-okay book on that topic.

Congrats on your awesome score. A very inspirational debrief. I'm so glad to read about someone who stepped out of his/her comfort zone to seek that extra bit of information to prepare for the GMAT. Frankly speaking, I was getting sick and tired of reading the tall tales posted on this forum by cowb...

I'm a math major too. The best questions I've come across so far are from the MGMAT question banks and tests. You could also attempt the CAT exam math questions (the ones they use for Indian Institute of Management), as they are usually harder than the GMAT questions. I agree. It doesn't get any wo...

Congrats on your excellent score. You mentioned that the level of Math on the GMAT was much higher than the OG. Looking back, would it have mattered if you had access to the books available exclusively in India for CAT Math preparation like RS Agarwal, etc.?

I feel your pain. When I started preparing for the GMAT, I followed the same steps - purchased the recommended books from Kaplan and Princeton, signed up for the Kaplan classroom course, etc. It didn't take me too long to realize that the quality of math/quant in any of these books or courses was pr...
