Hope CBT works for you! I feel your pain, I felt so angry, frustrated, confused, and defeated each time a panic episode upset my tests. Argh, the tears, the self-hate, the whole why-me pleading (can't you just tell I'm female?). Glad those days are over! My sister had it too, and I helped her get ov...

jain.chakresh, that's not very nice! People come in with a wide range of expectations! And let's be honest, some of us who take the test are probably great test takers. No telling if we'll be good at running a company! Or if we have any other skills, really. I think exceeding your target is excellen...

:( Sorry to hear how that went, Sofia. As someone who has dealt with panic disorder, I can more than sympathize. I have blanked out on exams, entirely. And basically just walked out of them. However, I got over my panic disorder with CBT techniques I picked up from the web. You may want to look into...

ssp, thanks for sticking up for me. I'm glad there are reasonable/sensible people like you around. (Btw, I'm a she, not a he.) And thanks to all you others who had nice things to say. So to answer your questions: My math prep was almost exclusively from the OG. I did a couple of MGMAT tests, where I...

Thanks, ashish. I know it's a good score, but it became an ego thing for me at some point. I'd told myself I wouldn't retake it if I had 750 or more, so I guess I was relieved about that. And realistically, I'd imagine to an adcom, it's all really the same after 730. The makers of the GMAT say their...

I suspect you'll do fine, as long as your verbal remains fairly high. It sounds like you're in a far better position than I was a week before the test. Practice only the toughest math problems. Fix any weak areas you might have on verbal. Take a couple more MGMATs for practice. Skip the MGMAT verbal...

Struggler, if I were you, I'd apply right away, even if you plan to take the GMAT again. Beef up the rest of your application package. I can appreciate that it seems disappointing that you performed under par (for your own expectations). But imagine how disappointed you would be if you managed a 770...
