I just gave GMAT today with a dismal 560. This was my second attempt. First one was on June 27th 2011 with 580. I thought to quit today, thinking GMAT is not my cup of tea. Was looking for some people who could achieve 700+ score and were with <600 scores and here you are as an awesome motivation f...

I think that the biggest issue here is that you have prepared way too much-for a much much longer duration that what is considered ideal. If you would have seen my journey, you would notice that my duration was almost similar to yours but the fundamental difference is that unlike you ,I didn't keep ...

I wanted to ask you a question about competency, especially in regards to quant. I am looking at taking the test in December and recently scored a 560 on a practice CAT.
