just received my official score report: 6.0 on the AWA! i put modest effort here since Ron said save the energy for Q and V. also, I called 1-800-717-GMAT to speak with a 'Program Coordinator', a sensible lady who created an incident in which a request for re-evaluation of scores has been made. my c...


I skipped all the red tape and just called 1800-717-GMAT to speak with a 'Program Coordinator'. A sensible lady read my email properly and accounting for the 700 on the practice test after my GMAT, she created an incident in which a request for re-evaluation of scores has been made. My case is under...

i received a similar response; following is all he/she replied with and didn't read that I was requesting for a retake (it costs us $250 for every test!): "Each exam goes through a three-step scoring process using different algorithms and is scored at different locations. In order for a score t...

so i gave another mock Gprep and here's the result (snapshot attached): 700 V34 Q50 >> note that i didn't write the essays. >> there were few repeats on Quant but there were few hard ones that i used to give up on but got correct this time. >>1-2 repeats on Verbal (tougher questions) BUT 4 consecuti...


this entire JJ scandal is very shameful. it's a good thing that we caught this luckytest in our fishing hook by serendipity but i feel that deactivating his account wont do much. i guess there's action already taken by GMAC: http://www.gmac.com/gmac/TheGMAT/Tools/FAQsScoretop.htm http://www.business...

Maybe sit it again for the 3rd time (the official one), and book in a 4th session too treating the 3rd as a test to see if you can luck out. what sucks now is that i cannot take another test until after 31 calendar days: http://www.mba.com/mba/thegmat/scheduleagmatappointment/retakethetest.htm this...

All, i just read the success story of @rishab1988 and i strongly believe that I have had the worst of score drops. from 700 V38 Q48 in practice tests to 550 V19 Q48 on the real deal today - a 150 pt drop in combined score and 50% drop in verbal score from V38 to V19! following are the reasons i beli...

Yes, it was mostly CR, and a little RC. I realized that and thus, I studied for consecutive 3.5 months (leaving my job) just to improve my SC and verbal. And after than, i got at most, in both MGMAT cats and Gprep interspersed in my prep (this removes test bias), -1-2 SC incorrect -4-5 CR incorrect ...


To be honest your english sounds quite good so I'm surprised you're struggling with the verbal. But it's obvious it's the key section holding you back. You seem to be incredibly self aware in that you know your key weakness i.e understanding what you read quickly. This will improve with time and pr...


700 practice to 550 GMAT casts serious doubt on my V ability

All - from the title, you might have realized that i am still immersed into the GMAT fever. i know that this is not the usual motivational 700+ or 99%-tile story that you normally see in the Forums and beat the gmat twitter feeds. yet, i am writing this debrief because i have learned a lot from beat...


hey @extrapages - congrats on your hard work!
one thing - your test snapshots seem to be cut off at question 17 and jump to 32 or a higher #.
could you please provide me the one for Verbal cat6.

Thanks a ton!

Yes, that's quite true. For instance, when I went to HBS for an information session, the adcom said the typical average is 22-23K per student and that every student gets something. As part of your consulting practice, do you assist prospective candidates in writing scholarship essays, both school an...

Waging War on the GMAT I really wanted to enter the test center by kicking the front door down screaming "THIS IS SPARTA". Awesome, buddy! I would love to do that followed by a "Hoo Hoo Hoo" if I got out of the test room with a 760 or above the second time. I had enough with my ...
