Many thanks...this is really helpful. In other words, it means that I'll have a breathing space of roughly 5 incorrect answers, so to speak, to achieve a good score:) On Verbal, I think so. On Quant, probably a few more. But again, don't approach this as "how many I can get wrong". The ri...

Hi: Many congratulations on your brilliant score. I've a query regarding how scaled up scores are actually calculated in GMAT. Different books/websites give different mappings between raw and scaled up scores. Do you get a detailed break-up in your GMAT score card w.r.t the number of correct/incorr...

So on account of the overwhelming support and questions I got from people, as well as a few PMs saying that they were frustrated as well, I figured I should follow-up and share my 2nd round results
740 - 47Q/45V/6.0AWA
Like I said from the beginning: If I can do it, so can you.

Thanks , I get it. I believe many of us have this issue , and I certainly have . Could you share more about RC ? Especially, how did you train yourself and what were your major strategies for each question type ? Thanks. (sorry for the delay in replying) The thing about RC for me is that it came ve...

-One thing that got me in the beginning of studying SC is the "justified change"--if an alternative will change the meaning of the sentence. I had a tendency to be conservative about this--if an alternative is grammatically flawless but changes the original meaning of a question which I t...

I would say that quant is tougher than the prep so you might surprised on the test day. But my mantra is not not get bogged down by one question; If you are not getting it, leave it and move ahead. Its important to complete the test with time to spare. I have also found that it is really important ...

out of curiousity dalilama what were your GMATprep and MGMAT quant scores? MGMAT I only took two, and they were 43 and 48. GMATPrep were 46 and 48. I also took two Focus diagnostics (which I don't hear much about in the forums, for some reason), and they were 42-45 on one and 47-51 on the other (bu...

Thank you for the debrief, and I agree with retaking the GMAT with such low quant score. Only thing I didn't find comfortable with your analysis of verbal is how you approached SC. But I guess if you're a strong reader and you have read a lot of good writing, your instinct of what is right and wron...

Beaten: 710 - 41Q/46V (Debriefing verbal)
Took it Friday, July 30th. It was a 710 (92%) / 41Q (56%) / 46V (99%) Right off the bat I want to say that I know this is not a bad total score. I know many are (rightfully) happy with a 710. However, that 41Q is just not good enough given my particular circumstances. I will be retaking the test. Al...
