I didn't beat the GMAT. What should I do now?
I scored a miserable 540 today. Its absolutely crushing considering I scored a 550 on my first practice test before 3 months of studying. On my two GMATPrep tests I score 590 and 600 respectively. If I could get a 590 on the actual test I would be super happy, yet I failed. I don't know why I have t...

Do schools see what schools you've had your GMAT sent to?
I have one program that I want to apply to. I don't really want to go anywhere else. I've told them that when I spoke to various people at the school. However, since its free I was going to put some other schools down when I take the GMAT. I want to know if the school I want to go to will see that I...

Countdown: T minus 2 days. Comments on my weaknesses?
I take the GMAT on Saturday. Overall I feel pretty good about it. I've been working in the OG 11 main book and the green Quant. one. In all sections I was most recently working towards the end of each section, which I assume contains more difficult questions. In total I've taken 3 CAT practices: Kap...

Is this a good template for my argument essat?
P1: Restate conclusion and state that the argument is not logically sound because it is based on assumptions that are not supported by strong evidence. Say it needs to present evidence that fill the gap between the assumptions and the conclusion. (This will be fleshed out into maybe 4 or 5 sentences...

There are plenty I'm sure. Just because a school isn't ranked in the Top 25 or something like that, doesn't mean its not a good school/program and that you won't find a good job afterwards. I received my undergraduate degree from a basically unranked public college and managed to do extremely well. ...

Is it appropriate to mention specific names in my essays?
I had a great conversation with someone at the school I'm applying to. I actually had the opportunity to speak with three people, but I think my conversation with this specific person was the most valuable. We talked about internships and many program specific things. She was very impressed with my ...

Great info., thanks a lot. I have not had an AWA graded, but after reading some that have been reviewed on here, I think the ones I've written should be at least a 4. I'm pretty comfortable with my template and know my approach for each one. I think it'll be a matter of how I feel about the topics a...

How would you compare the difficulty of the GMAT to Practice
I'm taking the GMAT on Saturday and I'm trying to get an idea of how hard people felt it was compared to OG 11, Kaplan Online test and GMATPrep. I'm scoring around 600 on the GMATPrep, which if I could actually get on the real thing would be great. I also feel like I didn't perform my best on these ...
