Thanks Frankenstein! @ngupta27- I stuggled with these question as well. I never found material dedicated solely to them, but what I did was answer all the OG questions of this type.

I beat the GMAT 740 Q49/V42

Okay—so, I feel it is only fair that I post my GMAT story after continuously turning to others’ stories as a means for motivation during the past three months. Yesterday, I took the GMAT for the second time and scored a 740 (Q49/V42). I cannot even begin to explain the sensation I felt after I s...

Thanks Jessica! And I agree with you, but honestly I retook it more for myself than for the score. The increase is great and all, but I needed to retake it to prove to myself I was a higher scorer. I knew I was, and that fire alarm really messed up my focus on verbal the first go around. So, I wrote...

Just giving an update--I decided on a whim to retake the GMAT. Studied for a week and scored a 740 (Q 86th %tile / V 95th %tile) yesterday! :) Strategy is still the same (beef up my extra cirrculars), but I feel a lot better about my raw numbers now!

Thank you Jessica! That was an incredibly prompt response. To answer your questions: 1) I scored in the 83rd percentile in quant and the 82nd percentile in verbal. So, I did hit the 80/80 split, albeit barely. 2) I took 150 hrs. I took two majors. I completed all the course work require of me to com...

Best practice test for your baseline

I am taking my first practice test on Saturday to get a feel for where I stand and what my strength and weaknesses are. I would appreciate any advice on which test to take, tips for taking the test or analyzing the results, and anything you are willing to share. Thanks!
