Hi, I recently gave Gmat-Prep1 I scored 50 on Q-provided i did 29/37 questions correct. On Verbal I scored 19-but i did 24/41 questions correct. The weak link if it matters was that i did last 5 q wrong. I ended up getting a mere score of 580. Is it possible? Normally having this much questions rig...

Gosh, Ziggy, I feel your pain. I was in almost identical situation about a month and a half ago. My problem though, was that I felt that not matter how bad I did, I could get my target score of 550 because I had gotten 600 and 570 on my GMATPrep, and 540 on a Kaplan CAT without even studying at all....

My first diagnostic score was a 550. I just got a 730 yesterday, so you can definitely improve by more than 100 points. Osirius0830, Congrats! I'm assuming the 730 was the real thing? If so, would you mind sharing how long it took you and what methods you employed? Or maybe if you've posted a debri...

Hi Patrick,

Thanks so much for your reply, it is highly appreciated. I had almost given up that people replied to topics other than the ones where someone had passed the GMAT with a high score. I will definitely follow your advice and keep everyone posted. Thanks again!

I don't think you can call any one score bad, it's all relative. It just tells you that you're a long way from where you want to be so you have a lot of ground to cover. I don't think you should listen to people saying there's a "max" that you could improve your score by. It varies by indi...

Wow, it's a mazing, isn't it? 24 views and no replies! There are couple of other posts by "newbies" that could really need the help, including myself, and similarly everyone looks without replying. Well, I'm probably not going to be of much help, but I found an article I think might apply ...

Can it be done?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could post links that discuss prepping for the GMAT in a short period of time. Unfortunately, I am going to have to retake it in the next 5-6 weeks and need to come up with a good plan. Most of the topics that I've read here address preparation that takes 8-15 ...

Thanks to both of you guys. Ashim, I have to admit that I always skipped the AWA when taking my CATs due to my time constraints and I did feel uncomfortable while writing the essays at the test center. But honestly once I was done, it was like I never did them in the first place, they didn't influen...

Ouch! Just got back from the test center - got a 480.

Hi all, This is my inaugurate post in here and sadly not a happy one. Now that it's been a few hours the pain subsided somewhat, and I am done feeling sorry for myself and trying to figure out who/what to blame for this, I've decided instead to come on here and try to make a difference. My backgroun...
