I have the same question about anonymity as the previous person.
also, I'd like to know at what stage you contact the references/recommenders? i need to inform my recommenders about what to expect.

Bkw Looks like you had a rough day, just as I had last week. I screwed up my test too! From a higher score to a 480!!! And that too after studying for 3 months! I know what you must be thinking. I went through hell and finally have come to terms with myself and my fate. Moreover I was scoring well i...

Thanks Brian! The analogy to your training practice sounds so relevant! The GMAT is like a marathon too, we need to practice and work hard, not forgetting to plan for the week that leads to the test! Funny thing for me is, if I don't do 10 SC and 5 CR (approx) daily then I tend to forget the strateg...

Brian, Great reply, as always. And, you made my day, rather evening ;-) Thank You. . As the nerves come closer and the weight of fatigue hits as you push harder, your scores may very well dip a little. Hmm...this is something that is very relevant to me. So you mean to say it is a common occurence i...

Bryant, Thanks for your response. I was nervous looking at my last prep scores, I've never scored this low except during the first month of study. And, moreover my score seems to be decreasing! Looks like I'm getting burnt out! As you say, I need to brush-up and get good sleep. I have noticed that I...

Am I ready for the test(in 2 days)?

My test is scheduled on this Sat and I'm averaging a 44-46 in Quant. Fine with this. The verbal is 30-32 on MGMAT tests but falls to 27-28 in the GMAT prep tests(I feel MGMAT verbal is on the easier side. the Sc's are too easy in fact). Took a GMAT prep test this morning and scored a 580(Q46,V25)---...

First of all, decide if you want to apply to this program. If you want to apply then work hard for 1-2 months and get your score to 550. Not hard at all to score a 550 considering that your V score is 31(pretty good). Concentrate on Math. Learn some formulae. Learn some new question types. Most Impo...

Hey congrats! All your scores are pretty good, except for the listening one. Whether or not you need to retake depends on the school I guess - maybe you can contact the admissions office and discuss this with them? thanks Dana. The funny thing is admissions of the school had asked me to retake it f...
